Of course the last thing I should be doing is messing around with paint when there are mince pies to be made, messy corners to be tidied up, and decorations to be put up.
But as someone who, this time last year, decided to paint all her kitchen cupboards with 12 coming for Christmas lunch a few days later, a simple little mirror makeover is nothing ;)
So, take one dated mirror, add some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (I used "Original") and voila!
A new white shabby chic mirror!

I love how simple white paint can transform.
The light was just going when I'd re-hung it so I had a few attempts at trying to get a decent clear photo!
edited in the evening to add a few photos of my cute little helper
Well I guess I'd better get back on with getting the house ready for Christmas - I am doing anything but what I should be!
Are you able to stay focused on the Christmas preps or have you been known to go off the rails at this crucial time too?
Looks fabulous - huge improvement. Amazing stuff that chalk paint.

Mirror looks lovely in white - shows up all that detail - love chalk paint. Your little doggy looks so cute with his paws crossed.
ReplyDeleteHow funny, I spent yesterday painting a large mirror I bought on ebay ready to put in our new bathroom. But i was very good and cooking in etween each coat of paint. Your makeover looks good.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, so much better! Was your little helper shaking his/her head in the middle photo? So cute! x
ReplyDeleteWow! That came out so well- love all the detail that you can really see with the white. Logan is precious with the lights, too :)
ReplyDeleteMe, I go through periods of intense focus at getting things done, but then I reward myself with time spent doing things that are not priority. I'll be needing a few more of the former if I'm to get it all done before the big day!
I love your mirror and so GLAD you got distracted from Christmas stuff and made it over. I go off the rails all the time when there are things I SHOULD be doing. It's the creative brain calling (it's the dominate side of my brain) and it can't be ignored. If I ignore it I'm mighty unhappy. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful creative day,
