My favorite consignment shop is Consign and Redesign in LaGrange, IL. They have
wonderful taste and always have something to tease my wallet! Today's find was a mirror to go above our mantle. The mantle runs the length of the wall and is up high, so I needed something narrow. This is what I found for $30...
Perfect size. Loved the shape, but the brass had to go. Home to my trusty can of Rustoleum.
First, I removed the brass plates by unscrewing them from the mirror.
Then, I spray painted the brass with Rustoleum Heritage White in Satin. (Since the mirror will not be regularly handled, I did not spray first with a primer). If you choose to prime, a good oil based primer (like Rustoleum's) works well.
After it dried, I screwed it all back together and voila. Lovely! Perfect in my office.
No need to spend a lot on a mirror. Have a great day!
