FINALLY!! PATTI'S HUGE TANGERINE MIRROR THAT I PAINTED FOR HER BEACH HOUSE

Here is that wonderful, fabulous, huge mirror that Patti asked me to paint for her beach house.
It was sooo beautiful, before, but she wanted it to be a fun color, now.


Remember those way cool pantry doors that she had me paint for her beach house?
Well, she wanted this mirror to be the same funky orange...she calls it tangerine and I think that's a better description.
As beautiful as it was before, Patti and I agree that this is much better.


She asked me to distress it and as I sanded and scraped, the white primer and the old finish came through. 
 LOVE the way it looks!!


Oops!  I didn't know my pink coveralls were in the picture.
ALWAYS in paint clothes.


It was 4' x 3' and very heavy.  I know because she and I carried it out to her car.
This was the original finish and it was very, very nice.
Patti was just ready for a change and it will look great in it's new home.
Oh, and she was just so nice to sqat behind the mirror to hold it upright so I could take a picture of it. 
 I, also, sneaked a picture of her holding it, but I DARE NOT share it with you!! :)

  6. From gold to gorgeous. Love the patina you achieved. I think I love a tangerine mirror. A question: there are clothes that are not paint clothes?

    1. HA!! I'm forever wiping my hands and I've accidentally wiped them on the wrong clothes. That's why I wear "paint clothes". And thank you, I really love the mirror now, too.

    1. Thank you! I love this shade, too. It's almost neutral, don't you think? I want to paint something in my house this color.

  8. What a gorgeous mirror. I love all the detail and how you distressed it. You should see my paint clothes! It's embarrassing when someone stops over unexpectedly! Thank you for sharing at What We Accomplished Wednesdays. Have a lovely weekend! ~Deborah

    1. It is such a beautiful mirror! She used to have it in her dining room. As far as your paint clothes, I think only a "like minded" guest would understand :)
