A while back I did a post about a couple of mirrors I found at a flea market up in the Berkshires. I have decided to keep the larger mirror somewhat traditional with the idea that it will act as a fireplace center piece. It has a leg and I'm considering drilling hooks into it to hang stocking from during the holidays. It's was an ugly white color so over the Fourth of July weekend while at my aunts house, I stripped the paint. For anyone who hasn't has the pleasure of working with paint stripper let me tell you, it sucks. In my case after stripping the top layer I discovered a second layer of a different type of white paint that the stripper had little effect on. It took most of the day and I did employ my boyfriend for some of the work since it requires a decent amount of elbow grease and I have next to none. By the end of the day I had a very ugly, somewhat stripped mirror. Now I just need to figure out what color to paint it.
