When I saw this mirror in Ballard’s catalog,
I was inspired to transform my dining room mirror from this
to this.
I already had the paint in the garage. So, this project didn’t cost me a dime. It doesn’t get better than that!
To achieve this look, I painted the mid section of the frame with three coats of SW Tranquil Aqua, and
left the rest of the frame to expose the “before” color.
I am very pleased with the end result. I’d love to hear what you think.
Until next time,
Sharon
