Mirror Makeover with
Annie Sloan Duck Egg Blue
Have you noticed that a lot of my projects start out brown, dirty and in need of some repair?
My friend “K” and I went on a whirlwind treasure hunt about an hour south of our town. We had a great time, got lost several times-that’s another story.
When I happened on this treasure, I think she was a little surprised that I wanted it. Chipped wood, hazy mirror, all the things I look for when treasure hunting 🙂
I used wood putty in the chipped areas and sanded after it dried.
I painted the mirror with Annie Sloan Duck Egg blue, used a wet cloth to remove and distress.
Waxed with the clear wax.
The dark brown underneath never looked so good!
You can’t even tell where the repairs were! Just the way I like it!
She looked pretty paired with the desk/vanity.
Have you found any chipped treasures lately?

My name begins with “K” and I am your friend… but I notice I wasn’t on this treasure hunt. Hmmm… Maybe because we’d have to arm wrestle to see who got to keep this beautiful mirror! Looks beautiful Debbie!

Susan @ Afford Your Passions says
Very pretty, Debbie! I love the color you’ve chosen. I’ve never used the chalk paint, but a dear friend just re-did one of her china cabinets with it, and I’m itching to try it. I just need to find the perfect vintage piece!
Have a wonderful Sunday!
