antique mirror


I was out and about last week at my favorite antique spot when I spotted this lovely mirror. 
Only $100 for this beautiful piece. I think she should be mine, or if not she should belong one of my clients.  Would you kill me if I put a coat of paint on her? 
And yes, those are my little feet reflected in the mirror.

  6. Oh my goodness...I love that mirror just like it is! With a coat of paint it would still be beautiful just probably more casual. Love it and the bargain price. Wish I lived closer to that store.

  8. Oh I really love the federalist style of that faded black paint. I say if its original to the piece, keep it.
