I had this old mirror hanging out in the basement for the last 6 months. It's got this really bad plastic frame and I almost go rid of it. I'm so glad I didn't!
I taped it off using blue painter's tape and gave it a really good sand with fine grit sand paper.

Then I added a black garbage bag to protect the glass. (why I had to choose the largest bag in the house I don't know!)
Next I added a bright aqua blue to the frame.

After 2 coats and an hour of dry time I covered the frame with brown glaze.

I wiped the glaze off with damp paper towels. My glaze was super old and way thick which made wiping it down HARD. In the end it's a little more rustic then I was going for. I'm not sure I love it. I'm usually more of a gray blue and navy blue girl what do you think?
Should I start over with another color?
