Did everyone remember to change their clocks on Saturday? This is my favorite time of year, and I only miss the hour for one day. It really should be considered a holiday, if you ask me. It's the official end to hibernation at my house.
This weekend I finished my mirror makeover. I really wanted a simple arched gold framed mirror for my One Room Challenge entry ever since I saw Pam's post on them. Since I had a specific size to work with, I turned to Craigslist. Do you remember my $15 CL mirror? Here is the transformation.
The credit for this process goes to Kristin @ The HUNTED Interior. She discovered this faux brass treatment when she experimented on this light fixture.

Here is my step-by-step
Fill and sand major dents
Cover glass with newspaper
Wipe on rub n buff
After the rub n buff has dried, spray paint gold over it.
Up close, the finish really does look like brass. The dings in the wood frame look like vintage dented brass.
I was so happy with the look, I did my plastic doorbell cover, too.
Hopefully, I will have the table makeover to show you tomorrow. How did you spend your weekend? More fun than a DIY?
