This antique mirror is reborn from an old leaf patterned picture frame, with new functionality and modern elegance. The frame, which now serves as a mirror, has been primed with HH Chalk Paint in a shade of Green Apple. This fresh and natural colour gives the frame a soft greenish tone that is both refreshing and nostalgic. The Green Apple shade is a great choice, as it matches the leaf pattern perfectly and has a natural feel.
I used dark grey, white and gold to accentuate the ornaments to highlight the special details of the frame. The dark grey highlights add depth and provide a subtly contrasting background that further accentuates the vintage style. The white trims give a freshness and clarity that, along with the green apple shade, create a distinctly elegant effect. Gold details add a subtle shimmer to the frame, lending the mirror an understated luxury. The gold finish is particularly well suited to vintage style, as it conveys a timeless elegance.
For the final finish, I used a silk gloss parquet varnish, which provides protection and gives the frame a nice, discreet shine. This silky sheen further enhances the mirror's elegant appearance and makes it suitable for long-lasting use, so you can enjoy it for years to come.
This mirror is the ideal choice for those who want to decorate their home with a unique, vintage piece. Whether in the living room, bedroom or hallway, this delicate and elegant mirror will fit perfectly into a variety of interior styles and is sure to attract attention in any room.
