This large, oblong, old Blondel picture frame has now been given new life and reborn as a mirror in stunning vintage style. I used a new brand of paint to give the frame a fresh colour scheme and a modern yet timeless look. The base colour is a deep midnight blue shade that provides an elegant and sophisticated backdrop.
The painting technique gave a special effect: I painted the midnight blue base with Tuscan olive, then back-painted it to bring out the olive colour in the recesses. This layering gives depth and rich texture to the frame, highlighting its decorative elements and special details. The harmonious interplay of olive and midnight blue creates a fresh yet warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The decorations are highlighted with gold to add a subtle sense of luxury and elegance to the mirror's appearance. The gold detailing gives the frame a special shine and contrasts well with the deeper, earthy tones. The result is a truly harmonious, unique colour scheme that strikes a balance between modern and classic style.
I finished the surface treatment with a silk gloss water-based parquet varnish. This varnish not only protects the painted surface, but also gives the frame a beautiful silky sheen that enhances the richness of the colours and the fine detail of the decorations. The mirror is thus durable, easy to clean and will retain its beauty for many years to come.
This special mirror with its unique colour scheme is a great addition to any interior. Whether it's for the living room, bedroom or hallway, this vintage piece is guaranteed to become the focal point of the space, bringing style and elegance to your home.
