All of these mirrors are beyond gorgeous.
So detailed and awesome...
..and SOOO expensive. These mirrors run from 300-650 dollars!Just when my dreams of owning a magnificent mirror are about to be shattered....
I found this mirror for a steal of 15$ at the local Desert Industries (thrift store)
It was a gaudy gold, but I figured with a little TLC and paint I could create my dream mirror.

AFTER:
I put tape over the dotted detail and I love how it looks
Dream mirror achieved!
(This picture truly doesn't show how magnificent it turned out)
Sophie's Tip: This mirror was overbearing and too gaudy for the spot in my house that I chose, but it had great detail and was built well. When second hand shopping, pay close attention to details and you'll have better luck finding pieces with potential.

I have a similar mirror...gold and gaudy that I painted black then used a bronzed paint to add discreet roughed up look....LOVE IT! People are always thinking I spent a ton, when really it was a mirror I toted around since childhood!
oops...that mirror comment was actually Emily Waltz. I'm logged onto my mother in-laws blog to help her update a little.
Sophie, I have been looking for a mirror to put in my living room to make it appear bigger but have not found one I like yet. Yours turned out so great! Looks like I should make a trip to the D.I.
