An Old/New mirror

So I have to admit I have discovered a great love for Rustoleum's Maui Blue. There is just something about looking at this color that makes me smile and when I saw this mirror it was a match made in refurbishing heaven. So I didn't take a picture of the mirror before hand (I know bad Tina) but here is the after picture. I picked it up for $20.00 at the ReStore in Chatsworth.
 

                                      

So imagine this to have originally been a medium dark wood mirror with exposed knots. I had sanded it down the best that I could and primed it with my trust rustoleum primer in white ( as you can tell I am pretty brand loyal) and let it dry. While normally you should let it dry for at least an hour that say was so unbearably hot it dried so quickly that I only waited 45 minutes before adding the first coat of Maui blue. 

It's mirror was tricky when dealing with painting it because I could not remove the mirror so I had to cover the glass with old newspaper and scrape off any bleeding which there was. This took one coat but I touched it up a bit the next day (i let the final product dry overnight before moving it).  So for a total of $26.00 ( this includes paint) I got a cute one of a kind mirror for the guest room/ sewing room.
