Mirror, Mirror on the Wall…

| Before: Gold Mirror |
I received this very GOLD mirror at a re-gifting yankee swap and in its original state was not the ‘fairest of them all’. The idea of the Scituate Cohasset Newcomer’s Ladies Night Out was for people to bring a gift that they were given but didn’t want in hopes that someone else might want it. There were some pretty funny gifts – ugly scarves, books, a weird massager etc.
Anyway, I ended up with this GOLD mirror. I’m not a big gold person and this mirror reminds me of something Goldmember of Austin Powers would like. I thought it had potential though.
I got my ASCP out and had a go:
I lightly painted it with Old White and wiped away the access. Some bits I didn’t paint at all as I wanted that aged gold to come through a bit.
And here is the mirror now:

I also did this same technique on a small gold frame we gave my parents with a picture of John and Conor at the zoo:
And here is another shot of the mirror in the living room:
What do you think? Is it the fairest of them all now? I think it goes pretty well with our beachy / shabby chic home.
