Running late today and now I feel such pressure to get off a decent post. LOL. So lets start with this fab mirror I found online. The owner said he had 3, which made me so excited and he was asking 20.00. At 20 I was thrilled and when I told him I wanted all three he offered a great deal..all 3 for 50. I did the happy dance. These ladies were a huge 45 x 33.5!
So Mr. C and I met this guy in a parking lot in town, he lived about 20 miles from us and was coming to town for dinner so we thought that would be good. I can only imagine how sketchy the transaction looked! We After sanding and priming, I painted this cream white and glazed with a mocha coffee glaze. I really do love it! I think I will take the other one and make a chalkboard.
Love the details on this lady!
Thanks for stopping by and come back again!!

The mirror looks great. Such a nice improvement!
Came over from Etcetorize to see your mirror transformation. Doing deals in a parking lot - what we will do for a piece of furniture! Great deal on the three! Love the transformation!

Wow, that looks great. You did a fantastic job. :)
I love the details on your mirror and I think it would make a perfectly charming chalkboard. Thanks for linking up with Making Space Mondays. I hope to see you again next week! -Tabitha

Love how this looks! Mirrors are so beautiful to have in a home and this new look looks great! I'm a new follower from a blog hop, feel free to follow back! www.iheartpears.blogspot.com
You know, ordinarily I think that mirror would be hideous! You know that early american stuff? But what you did to it completely transformed it!! It is stunning! Keeping my eye out from now on for all the uglies at the thrift store!!!

looks great! I think I have it's twin in my barn, but stupid me, I broke the glass getting it out! Grrrr. I think it'll have to turn into a chalkboard or something now...
You did a great job on that mirror. I love the glaze and finish you used. Great deal on the mirrors!

Hi Margaret: This mirror is so pretty now--I love the change in color, and can imagine it would work well in a variety of different rooms--lovely!
Great find and I love how you've made it yours.
That looks great! I should try that on a table I have - nothing else seems to be working, and this is exactly the effect I'd like on it.
Great update!
You gave this mirror a whole new upscale and upcycled life! I love the color! Please show us the chalkboard one when it is done!
Thanks for sharing this painting DYI with us at TUTORIALS TIPS AND TIDBITS!
I'd be doing the happy dance too! What a heck of a deal. Love how it turned out and a chalkboard will be darling. Thanks for sharing your find with Share Your Cup.
Hugs,
Jann
Great deal on the mirrors and they look wonderful now. The glaze really looks terrific. I think I am going to try that on a piece I am painting now.
I just came over from Yvonne's and am amazed! First what great finds! Then the transformation with this color palette; superb!
