Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Mirrors

September 13, 2011 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

As I said yesterday, in addition to my table project I painted two mirrors to go above the table in my upstairs landing. I decided to use the Paris Grey paint by Annie Sloan so that there would be a contrast with the table but also have some coordination to the tones in the water paintings on the art wall. I like the layered effect of two mirrors and I love that the moldings are built in the opposite directions. I did distress them a tiny bit and then of course waxed them.

I do have to change the ugly little knob on the table but I have not found an antique one that I like, so for now that is going to stay put so that I can open the drawer.

On a side note some of the photos are a little wonky because it is hard to take mirror photos without getting yourself in the mirror or a railing or who knows what else. Maybe I will learn photo tips from my blogging course that I signed up for from Decor8.

P.S. The tile installer is here!!!!

    I know just what you mean….I was trying to photograph a huge mirror the other day and either kept getting myself, or other stuff that was on the other side of the room and didn't want in the photo…

    I think I need some of those photo tips, too!

    Beautiful mirrors and I love your candle holders, too….

    Elizabeth,
    I like what you did. Paris gray is my favorite color so far of Annie Sloans!
    I 'met' you after I painted my sideboard in my entry.

    I have restyled since then, removed the lamps, probably should take another pix!

“Learn to love and appreciate the good in others “Learn to love and appreciate the good in others.” Good afternoon friends, it’s the last day of February, which is called heart month, not only for Valentine’s Day but for heart health as well. Just because we are turning the calendar page doesn’t mean we should forget that A). We should love and appreciate each other and B). To take care of our hearts! Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart!

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
