I love the color combinations and how they blend so nicely for a perfect look. Today I came across a mirror that is perfect with bumps and scrolls and I can't wait to use this same paint technique to enhance it. It is a nice and heavy mirror and I think will be beautiful. I just wanted you to know how much this post has inspired me!

The paint really does go a long way when paint furniture pieces so for me it's worth the price which is 3x's the price of a regular latex quart of paint.

So you painted the mirror with the bright provence and let it dry, then you mixed the provence with the gray and painted the mirror again? Did you allow the provence and gray to dry completely before dry brushing on the white paint? What kind of wax did you use?

It definitely does works as I've used it on more than one occasion since then and found it works particularly well on deep scratches.mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490180327385502642.post-18349762038532852402011-09-04T15:04:41.158-04:002011-09-04T15:04:41.158-04:00This mirror is beautiful!
