Okay, so I am not going to lie to you...I love to think of myself as a photographer, but mirrors are hard to take a picture of people! Again I forgot to take the before. If I had I probably would have run out of time to even paint it! I am hoping you will get the picture on just how beautiful this mirror came out...
This is with one coat of duck egg blue on it. It is a very light...robin's egg blue almost. I am in LOVE with this color...That is Sadie our black lab mutt with creepy eyes in the reflection. Her creepy eyes are much better than me in my painting clothes-trust me!
Here is my first attempt after I finished it. I love my mom's house but I want you to look at the mirror not here decor. :) This is a good picture of what the color really looks like.
Another try in a different spot with not so much background...except Sadie again...She is a very good assistant.
Unlike Jake who was actually supposed to be helping me...I wasn't really trying to get him to help me though. I was having too much fun doing it to share the process with anyone else. :)
Here it is before I started the seriously fun distressing part. I love the color...
Isn't it amazing to see the transformation?! I had just started and the difference is amazing. (I think the color looks different in every picture...sorry for that but I just have a little point and shot.)
Okay enough close ups! I think you get the picture. I am loving this one. Lesson learned with this one: mirrors are hard to photograph. :) This one is for sale.
