Black Edwardian Mirror

I accept a earlier as well as later on to part amongst you lot today. Last year, I scored a walnut dresser built around 1890, at a garage sale of all places. I refinished the dresser long ago, as well as left the poor, deplorable mirror to sit down inwards my garage for almost a year. 

Why didn't I pigment the mirror to fit the dresser? When I sold the dresser, I asked the novel possessor if they would last interested inwards the mirror equally well. They passed. The agency I feel, is at that spot is such a matter equally also much "old" inwards i room. Plus, I know this may bother some people only equally I've said before, a matching dresser as well as attached mirror is non "in" anymore. Don't believe me? Pick upwards a pattern magazine as well as country me what you lot see. Anyways...

Here is the agency the mirror looked before:

And hither she is now:

The complete was actually easy. I brushed on i coat of CeCe Caldwell pigment inwards Beckley Coal. Once dry, I brushed on i coat of wax as well as acre yet wet, sprinkled on some Dust of Ages past times Amy Howard.

Most chalk pigment companies accept their ain version of an aging dust. It is pretty much that, dust. It gives the expect of something that has been sitting around for decades. You sprinkle it on a freshly waxed surface, lightly brush it around, as well as i time the wax is dry, you lot tin buff off the access.

What I similar almost it, is that it tin last used over night or calorie-free pigment to create an antiqued look.

You run into those piddling shelves on either side of the mirror? Back inwards the day, earlier electricity, you lot would house a candles on those piddling shelves as well as the mirror would assist reverberate the calorie-free into the room. Pretty cool, huh?

So what exercise you lot think? Obviously, it is much also large for this piddling bookshelf. If I were keeping it, I would in all likelihood hang it on the wall. I'm earthworks the large scale of it.

If you lot are earthworks it too, it's available nether the shop tab.

Let's last friends! Follow along, then you lot never immature lady a post
