Anthro Mirror

One of my previous posts had promised an Anthropologie Knock Off Distressed Mirror.

Weelll......

Here it is!

I had so much fun with this!

-AFTER the mirror finish was distressed!

I just used paint stripper and a scraper (outside of course)

to distress the back of the mirror.

The frame was a plasticky gold thingy that I primed and painted gray and finished with a whitewash that I wiped off of the raised edges.

Then came the fun part,

spray the back of the mirror with spray glue,

lay a pretty piece of floral fabric on it and smooth out bubbles,

Snap the mirror and the backing back onto the frame and

VOILA!!
