Bathroom Mirror Frame

Since we're redoing the bathroom I thought I might put a mirror over the sink instead of the medicine cabinet. I've been looking in thrift stores and found nothing, then I remembered an unfinished frame that I bought a looooong time ago that was just hanging around in my closet.

I started out with this frame and these ornamental wood carvings.

I cut the wood carvings apart and  glued them to the frame. Then I painted the frame with turquoise paint and after that was dry I brushed over a thin coat of white paint. I sanded the white paint back to allow the turquoise to peek through, heavily in some places and lighter in others. Here' s a closeup of the finish. I couldn't capture the colors in the far shots.

To add another texture and highlight I added a little silver effects wax  to the raised areas. Now I need to have glass cut for the frame. It may or may not make it to the bathroom.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be joining these great ladies this week.
