This special little blondel picture frame has been given a new lease of life and can now decorate any home as a beautiful, unique mirror. The frame has been transformed with HH chalk paint in Emerald, a deep and vibrant colour that exudes elegance and freshness. Emerald is the perfect choice, creating a subtle contrast with the ornate patterns on the frame.
The next step in the painting was to apply a layer of white, which I then wiped off, leaving only the white in the recesses of the frame. This antiquing technique beautifully highlights the rich detail of the frame, creating a unique visual depth and texture. The elegant harmony of emerald and white gives the mirror a fresh and sophisticated look that is both timeless and modern.
I accentuated the frame's decorations with dark brown and gold to further enhance the aesthetic effect. The subtle shading of the dark brown adds depth to the patterns, while the gold embellishments create a luxurious feel, subtly reflecting the light. The gold colour harmonises particularly well with the emerald green, creating an elegant and striking contrast. These embellishments highlight the unique character of the frame.
As a final step, I sealed the surface with a silk gloss water-based parquet lacquer, which provides long-lasting protection for the paint and a soft sheen. The lacquer not only protects the frame from the passage of time, but also enhances the intensity and depth of the colours, so the mirror can be a truly brilliant edge to any room.
This small but striking mirror is the ideal choice if you want a unique, handmade piece for your home. It looks great in a living room, bedroom or even an elegant hallway. The unique colour scheme and richly detailed decoration are guaranteed to catch the eye. Bring style and elegance to your home with this beautiful mirror that will be both a practical and decorative addition to your living space!
