I hope Everyone had a great weekend! I got a few small projects done and this mirror was one of them.
I stumbled upon this mirror when I bought this dresser a while ago. It's been sitting in my basement waiting for some inspiration.

I finally came up with an idea, but I wasn't sure it it was going to work.
I painted the mirror with one coat of Annie Sloan's Duck Egg Blue. It was nothing special but I needed that for my base coat.
After that I painted on Ralph Lauren's Glaze in midnight. I let the glaze sit for about 30seconds and then wiped it off with a wet cloth.
Glazing really brings out the detail in pieces and this mirror has a lot of detailed edges.
When I wiped off the glaze a little of the chalk paint came off too exposing white edges as well as the black glaze. I was so excited at how it turned out!
Here's a close up of the glazing and distressing.
It's for sale in the store and you won't believe the price for such a huge mirror!
One last look of the Before Meets After
I think this would amazing in a foyer, bedroom, above a couch, or even for a powder room mirror!










What a beautiful technique! I'm pinning this on Pinterest for future reference :)
