My Ballard Designs Knock-Off :: Ogden Mirror

I got my Ballard Designs catalog in the mail at Christmas last year 

and fell in "like" with a beautiful mirror, B., on the back cover.

Beveled. Thick molding. Trimmed in antique silver.

Only problem?

It was $199.00. Yikes.

Then, as all epiphanies do, it happened!
Six months later.

I remembered a mirror I had taken down and stacked in my decor stash

in the basement office closet.

Yes!

This would do nicely!

I gathered some supplies.
Paint from this project.

I painted two coats of Valspar's Gray Teal to cover the red.

And with these little fellas, I painted the molding edges.

I mixed some Metallic Silver Sterling with Burnt Umber.

I painted over that with Metallic Pearl White. 

(I love the pearl paint! It is clear, but adds a soft, luminescent shine to the color underneath it.)

With a paper towel, and more Burnt Umber, I aged the blue area.

And hung it up.

I used the flash so you could see how the pearl paint glows.

How'd I do?
