Oh how I LOVE mirrors...how about you? Until the last few years...I never minded looking in one...but since I started putting on so many pounds...I just try not to look in them anymore. I'm so hoping to get a lot of these extra pounds off so I can enjoy all my pretty mirrors again. Today I pulled out some of my Annie Sloan chalk paint and got to work on this one. I used some paris grey paint, then added dark wax and this plain jane mirror came to life...love the power of paint!!! Today is a big day here at COASTAL CHARM...it's time to announce the WINNER of the ANNIE SLOAN CHALK PAINT GIVEAWAY from COTTAGE ATTITUDES and the WINNER of the cute apron/soapdish/soap...so let's see who these lucky gal's are. Winners will be announce at the end of the post:)

Woohoo! I'm so excited that I won the ASCP giveaway. I've been wanting to try this paint ever since I started hearing about it. I was just getting ready to paint a piece of furniture, but I'm going to hold off until I receive the paint. Thanks, Linda and Cottage Attitudes, for sponsoring this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteYour mirror looks great, Linda!
Your mirror looks SO good! And it's the size of your heart, not your waist that matters!

Linda,
ReplyDeleteLove your mirror! You did a great job and it looks great with all the pretty accessories. I don't like mirrors any more either :)
Your bathroom in the previous post is so pretty and I love the new look. I have been behind in my blog reading!
Congrats to the winners of the giveaway!

Linda she looks beautiful on that dresser!! Great makeover and love the pretty vignette too.
ReplyDeleteHa, love the comment about your wedding dress! I haven't used the dark wax yet. Really changes the color doesn't it? I use a clear miniwax paste on my pieces. If I want them darker I rub a dark stain on them and wipe off before the wax.
ReplyDeleteSize 2...wow! I thought my size 6 that needed to be altered and taken down in places was small!! lol I LOVE the mirror! Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say I love that gorgeous mirror! Going to have to try that chalk paint one day :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners!
Linda the mirror is amazing a great transformation!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners of your grand Giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI love the mirror and I did catch the wedding dress . . . size 2... hmmm. . . I think I was a size 2 when I was born! I love the way the mirror looks on the table/dresser as well as the other coastal touches! Congrats to the lucky winners and thanks for hosting these give aways!
ReplyDeleteLove your mirror--I hate looking in the mirror too--though I have them all over the house! I always think "who is that aging frumpy overweight woman with paint in her hair?" :)
ReplyDeleteReally pretty! All of it! Love all the starfish in the bowl too :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Love those mirrors.
ReplyDeleteYour mirror is so pretty! I'm still a size two, at least my right thigh is! Congrats to all two lucky ladies.
ReplyDeleteYou did an AMAZING job on the mirror. Great post (as always)!
ReplyDeleteA.maz.ing. Thanks for sharing this beautiful mirror at Sunday's Best. I feel the same way you do, I never look in a mirror that's long. I'm so unhappy with how I look, ashamed actually. So I wish you success on losing a few pounds, I'm trying, no I will succeed and so shall you!
