Just Hanging

Just a little project I wanted to share. 

I found this little gem at an architectural salvage place. It looked perfect for my office. 


But it was a little beat up and needed some TLC. 


I started by scraping the goo off. 


Then taped off the glass and added a few coats of SW Acanthus. 


I added a couple of D-hooks to the back. Reattached the hardware and ... ta da!


She's done! And she's purdy. 


Just what the doctor ordered. 

A couple things I learned:
1. I should have put a layer of tape around the edge of the mirror then taped the paper down to that. 
2. The paint job would have looked better if I'd sanded first. 

What have you been up to lately?
