Oh mah' GAUD! (Gaudy Mirror, that is...)

Hi Lovey!
 I got this mirror from my girl Susie at VnB estate service and she gave me a GREAT deal! Of course, I immediately saw the potential in this old girl...


Whaaa... You don't see the potential here?? You will...... = )

Mmkay, you guys the routine by now, right? A.S.C.P Baby! I whipped out my chalk paint and let her rip, tater chip!

Old White




To paint as close to the frame as possible shove a piece of paper under the frame to get as close to the inside edges as possible when painting. Next time I think I will buy a couple of pieces of scrapbook card stock! 
(A little sturdier piece of paper would have been nice) 

All taped off now, and first coat is applied.


2nd coat is on BUT I need to do all the recessed areas and little carved areas..

This stencil brush from  Michael's worked well in the more recessed and hard to get to areas.


Paintings done..Get to Distressing!


Nice and scruffy..

Be sure to blow off all existing dust, then Apply your base coat of clear wax.

Then make your mash up! (Equal parts of clear and dark mixed together)

Cover everywhere you want an antiqued and aged look.


Get a glob of clear wax, and start removing the wax where you don't want it 
OR where you don't want it as heavy..
Look how easy this wipes off!




All Done..



VIOLA!



Thanks for stoppin' by..
Muah!
