Estate Sale Oval Mirror Redo!

Remember the Oval Mirror I bought a few weeks ago at an estate sale?  Well the end result far
 
 
 
exceeded my expectations.   So much so, that my original thoughts of selling it, are now gone : )
 
 
  Much to John's delight (that's sarcasm there folks) we are keeping this little lady.  After cleaning,
 
 
priming, painting and sanding I am pleased to show you my new love.

Do you love her as much as me?!  So glad you guys talked me out of making her
 
 into a chalkboard like I originally intended to!!!  What do you think?

    Hi, just found your blog from your comment on Meredith's The Laundry can wait! Love what you did to the mirror! It looks fantastic! I had to laugh at your hubby's reaction to you keeping the mirror. Mine would be just as excited. I am your newest follower!

    Great transformation of this mirror! I love how those old mirror frames look with a freshening up - the chunky lines of them are so funky. Thank you so much for linking this up at the Get Your DIY On Fall Challenge: Spray Paint! We hope to see you come on back over this evening (7pm EST) and bring along a chalkboard project!!
