gold to glazed

i've been mulling over ideas in my head,  for. many. months.

about what to hang on our breakfast room wall.

i found the perfect pieces at a fabulous thrift store in downtown.

check out our fabulous finds from the weekend!

 those will be perfect for our breakfast room wall!

mirror: $30

plates: $2.50/ea

the gold on that mirror just wasn't working for me,

 so i decided to try my hand at glazing.

let's begin.

{1}

spray paint the mirror white

{2}

buy a pint of ralph lauren faux glaze at home depot.

tint with your chosen RL paint color.

i chose to tint with desert boot.

{3}

using a paint brush, glaze your desired area.

for best results, glaze an area with texture/design so the glaze will nicely accentuate it

{4}

wipe off the excess glaze with a damp rag

{5}

don't panic if you're not crazy about it halfway through,

the finished product will rock.

{6}

repeat steps 3 & 4 around the entire mirror,

step back and enjoy your new masterpiece.

{7}

sweetly ask hubby to hang it on your breakfast room wall.

love it.
