This elegant vintage mirror is made from a picture frame with a floral decoration that will look great in any interior. The frame was first painted with HH Chalk Paint in Cactus Green, which gives it a vibrant and naturalistic hue. I then applied a dark brown coat, which I gently brushed back. This technique allows the brown colour to remain in the recesses, creating a unique contrast with the green base coat, further enhancing the vintage effect.
I highlighted the floral patterns with white and gold to add to the romantic style of the mirror. The white colour gives the decoration a fresh and clean look, while the gold adds an elegant sparkle that gives this handcrafted piece a special and exclusive look. The white-gold combination goes well with the green-brown background, creating a balanced and harmonious colour scheme that will look effortless in any room.
For the finish, I sealed the surface with a water-based silk gloss parquet form, which provides protection while giving the mirror a discreet glow. The silk gloss finish enhances the unique pattern of the mirror and highlights its details with a subtle shimmer. The water-based lacquer is environmentally friendly, hard-wearing and helps to preserve the mirror's original condition over time, making this piece a durable and timeless addition to your home.
This vintage mirror is the ideal choice for anyone who wants to bring the charm of the old days and the closeness of nature into their home. Perfectly suited to romantic, rustic or even modern interiors, it can serve as a stylish focal point in the living room, bedroom or hallway. Hand-crafted, each piece is unique and, thanks to its meticulous craftsmanship, can be a real jewel in the home.
