i have had this large, ornate mirror for the last 8 years and have used it in several different rooms in our previous homes.
i bought it at american signature home, and i believe i paid around $120. i have since seen this exact same mirror on random online retailers, and it is always near $500, so i know i got a steal!
even though my tastes have changed over the last 8 years, i still really love this mirror...it just needed a quick update. (don't you love how filthy the mirror is? that's what happens when you leave a large mirror at "kid level" for a solid week...i don't even want to know that that huge drip in the middle is....)

to paint it, i covered the surface of the mirror with paper, being sure to tuck it in between the frame and the mirror.
i used krylon's paint + primer in high gloss white.
after i spray painted it white, i hung it on the wall, and it felt a little too....stark. the white was SO crisp and bright that it almost looked blue.i have had this large, ornate mirror for the last 8 years and have used it in several different rooms in our previous homes.

so i decied to paint over it with this ivory colored spray paint.
this really warmed it up. it still appears white... a nice, soft white.
you can see the difference between the two paint colors here. it's subtle, but just the shift in tone i was looking for.
here is the mirror, hanging in my living room!
i will share some additional pictures of this space in the next few days...
i think the mirror would look a lot better agasint a darker wall, like in the above photo. the contrast would help the mirror to stand out a bit more and look a little it more modern. ni house #6, i will for sure hang the mirror in a room with some dark walls for maximum contrast and drama.
