This antique mirror, which I transformed from a picture frame decorated with tiny inda patterns, is a truly special and unique piece. Originally used as a picture frame, it now continues its life as a mirror, combining vintage charm with modern craftsmanship to fit perfectly into any interior. I used turquoise shades of HH chalk paint, including Azure, Caribbean, Maldives and Midnight Blue, complemented with white. I applied these colours to the frame using a "cloud" technique, creating a really unique, airy effect.
The cloud painting gives the frame a special depth and texture, as if the coastal sky is reflected in a cavalcade of turquoise colours. The different shades create beautiful transitions that, when viewed from any angle, glow in different hues, creating a truly dynamic and interesting effect.
I have highlighted the india patterns on the frame with gold to emphasise the antique character and to further highlight the delicacy of the details. The gold painting gives the frame an elegant shimmer, which shines against the turquoise colours, creating the effect of discovering a fabulous old treasure. The gold-plated india patterns create a truly special, romantic atmosphere that is both nostalgic and luxurious.
As a final step, I sealed the surface of the mirror with a water-based silk gloss parquet varnish, which protects the paint and makes the surface durable. The lacquer gives the mirror a subtle silk sheen, creating an understated yet elegant look. This layer will help preserve the beauty of the mirror for years to come, making this piece a timeless addition to your home.
This vintage mirror is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a unique, one-of-a-kind decoration. Make a beautiful decoration for your home with this fabulous mirror, which will fit perfectly into romantic, rustic or even modern interiors and is sure to attract all eyes.
