I have been looking for a mirror and I of course will not spend the money on a new one….I have been looking at Craig for months…I finally found this lovely and Oooooooo my favorite Gaudy Gold….for twenty bucks. I called and made arrangements to meet the “Other Lady”….The “Other Lady” said it just didn’t fit in her new home and oh how she spent so much money on it, when she bought it……Well, if she could see it now…….she may be wishing she never sold this beauty…..
I used my favorite Krylon oil rubbed bronze spray paint aka ORB.
If you are wanting to add ORB to your spray paint collection - I have only been able to buy it at Wally World.
I am linking up with Susan at

Stop by Susan’s to get some great ideas on how to spruce up something -maybe it’s the “Other Ladies'” or maybe its something you already own !

I love it! And I love ORB!!! Seeing as how we're moving to a new "old" house next week, I will definitely be finding ways to add it to my decor!!!
Looks great. I liked it before, guess I have no taste, but it is really beautiful now. Hugs, Marty
I've got to check out Craig's list- I never have, but so many people mention it and wow! this looks great!
Love that mirror. Why oh why can't I find great deals on craigslist? Everything is way over priced in my area.
Beautiful! Her loss! :-)
Love your mirror. You did a great job. I also use Oil Rubbed Bronze paint from Wally World and love the color.
Have a blessed evening.
Hi Kammy! Oh, honey! Your mirror is beautiful! I'm sure the other lady would want it back if she saw it now. Don't send her a picture of it! :)
I actually did that once! :) I bought a little round table that's in my breakfast room and it was a blond finish. I sanded and restained it mahogany. I was so pleased I sent a picture of the refinished table to the lady I bought if from on Craigslist. She wrote back and said - is this really my table? If I'd known it would have looked this good - I wouldn't have sold it to you!
Nervy, huh? :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia;)

It looks really good with your other stuff, Kammy....Christine
This looks great, Kammy! I have a large gold mirror that I'm growing tired of and would like to paint it! The close up picture looks like it's brown, but I know that sometimes black comes across that way. Is it brown or black? I could do either in the room my mirror is in.
Hi,
Very nice beveled mirror!! It looks great, might even look better in my house! Wish I lived closer to Craig...he could be my best friend too. But, nothing out here, so may have to talk to Dot to start checking things out for me in Denver.
Hope you get a holiday tomorrow like I do!
Kammy,
It turned out beautiful! I love ORB too! I feel like I haven't been by in a while and I miss all of your great inspiration. You've got the gift, lady!
Oh Kammy, you're KILLIN' me! First the pine hutch, now this! Is nothing sacred? LOL! I know I'm out numbered but someone has to stand up for knotty pine and gaudy gold!
Hugs,
Dawn

The mirror is gorgeous! I've been searching for something on Craigslist lately and not had much luck. I'm glad to hear it can sometimes take months. Now I know not to give up! Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a sweet comment on my son Grants blog. :)
Hi Kammy! Girl, it looks great! I love this spray paint and wished it came in the buckets. I buy alot of these cans and use it quite a bit. lol Thanks for sharing with us.
Sandra
Love the way the mirror turned out, it looks great where you put it with the lamps, just perfect....
Love your mirror with the ORB paint. I have a mirror I want to paint and you just inspired me to go to Walmart and get it done. It is for my entry. I have a picture there I want to replace with the mirror. It is amazing what a little paint can do.
I am going to have to check Craig out more often.
Looks gorg! Thanks for sharing!
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall
This is the fairest of them all! I also love your title picture with the newspaper around the flowers! Lezlee
I love it so much! I am always so amused by people who can't see past the color of an item to its strong bones :P
Your mirror is to die for! I wish I could find one like that! Thanks for stopping by my house as well.
