While at my local thrift store, I found a $10 mirror with a unique top detail. I added some heirloom white spray paint, sanded the edges and rubbed on some mocha glaze to give it that old distressed look. This is an easy way to brighten up outdated, dark wood or faux wood pieces.

It looks great... I too had found a mirror at our local thrift store awhile ago and had been wanting to do the same, but haven't find the time! ;) You have encourage me to do so soon! Thanks for participating in our "Show Off Your Cottage Monday".... I hope this is this post you are sharing, as I didn't see our logo... ;)

Oh, I forgot to ask you... where do you get the glaze to give it that antique look, and what's the name of it? Thanks! That will help.

The mirror looks great. Isn't it amazing what paint can do to a piece that most people would pass on.

Great job. I love transformations like this. What an ugly duckling it was and you turned it into something new and beautiful. Don't ya just love what a can of spray paint can do?

How wonderful that you created beauty out of bland. I love quick and easy transformations like this...especially when they're so inexpensive.
Thanks for linking to my party. I look forward to having you join me each week.
