Painted Mirror Makeover

IMG_7819.jpg

IMG_7805.JPG

I have wanted to paint a mirror for a while now, and am so excited that I finally got the chance. I got this mirror at the thrift store for $7. The mirror is actual glass (as opposed to the thinner, slightly flexible ones that you can get most places now). I loved the look of the frame but it was really beat up and coming apart on a few sides. Yikes! Not what you want to be holding a heavy piece of glass, that is for sure! I disassembled it and got to work.

IMG_7542.jpg

First I wiped the frame down really well with Krud Kutter's Gloss Off. Has anyone seen this before? It removes the top layer(s) of poly and stain from the wood, dulling the surface, and prepares the surface to be re-painted. Apparently it has some chemical in it that helps the new paint to stick to the surface. I was all about this, mostly because I didn't want to strip the wood (I hate using chemical paint strippers, they scare me), and I don't have an electric sander and didn't want to buff the whole thing down. It worked pretty well. My rag was covered in brownish orange stain, it cleaned the wood and dulled the surface, so it worked for me. It didn't remove all of the paint like a stripper would have, but I was sticking with it. I re-inforced the corners by gluing them together with some Gorilla Glue, and then turned my attention to the mirror.

I cleaned off the mirror, lined up this stunning Iron Gate Allover Stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils, and started painting.

I used a light coat of spray adhesive since I was working on a flat surface and didn't want it to shift on me. I used a dense foam roller (also from Cutting Edge), got a little paint on it, rolled off the excess onto a paper towel, and then started rolling onto the glass. I did 2 light coats so that no paint would seep under the stencil, and waited for both to dry completely before picking up the stencil and shifting it over to cover the next section of the mirror.

(There's me! Hi guys!!)

I spray painted the frame a similar ivory color to what I used on the mirror, and when it was dry, just popped the mirror back in and nailed the back piece to the frame.

I was left with this perfect mirror makeover.

Isn't it gorgeous?!

As always, I'll be linking this project to some of my favorite link parties including the DIY Club, which you can see here. Have a great week!!

I've gotten several "real" mirrors from thrift stores. Those suckers can get heavy! ha ha. They just don't make 'em like they used to, do they?

This turned out great! I'd have never thought to paint over the glass like that.

Karen Sabrsula October 18, 2010 at 6:50 AM  

Only 2 favorites? I love the Pompeii stencil collection and it is on the list to one day do.... I also think the panel stencils for coffered ceilings are very classic!
Happy Painting!

I am a Facebook follower, and have been! I have some quick photos of a room I recently finished with the bird, branches and butterflies on my blog. I will be doing more on it soon!

Martha Carolyn October 18, 2010 at 7:18 AM  

Wow, I'm in love with the birch forest stencil on page 1 of new designs and the splash wall pattern kit on page 2 of new designs. :-)

Your mirror turned out fab! Way to to!

I love all the Damask Stencils...and the poppy allover stencil! lovelovelove!

Unknown October 18, 2010 at 7:59 AM  

It's really hard to choose just 2 favorites. I think I would narrow it down to the brocade no. 1 stencil and the large tree and birds stencil. I've always wanted to try to do a tree in our house.

Neat idea painting on a mirror. And simple too! I have a couple of favorites over at Cutting Edge, and a bathroom that needs to be redone!!

Melissa October 18, 2010 at 8:33 AM  

I love the Birds on a Branch and Happy Hour Stencils! They are all so cool though! I'm hoping to repaint and redecorate my living room this summer and would love to incorporate a stencil!

love the Damask Stencil Birds Of Paradise, and the Damasque Wall Stencil!

TBonesMom October 18, 2010 at 8:48 AM  

Is it definitely hard to pick just two, but since my bedroom is Asian inspired, I would want the Bamboo Grove wall stencil or the Cherry Blossoms wall stencil. Both are absolutely perfect!

Your mirror is beautiful. Nice stencil job. It would be really hard to select 2 favorite stencil patterns from Cutting Edge, but I really liked the bird of paradise damask & the branches with with birds. I have been wanting to stencil the wall behind my headboard in my master bed room. But I haven't decided what I want yet. Thanks for the inspiration.

My favorites are the flying birds stencils and Casablanca allover stencil. This is exactly what I need for our master makeover and my daughter's room!
