So our mantel is very boring and I am trying desperatley to finish our livingroom decor.  Jay, Bug and I went out and about today and found some mirrors all which were like 100-200 so I decided to go back to my mirror recon days and just DYI this one.

Last year Jay and I went to an auction and I got this super old HEAVY as you know what wood mirror, only problem was the hideous velvet and gold strips on the inside.

So here is a pic of the gold and velvet strip BLEH!

Velvet removed…

Here is my painted and distressed “C”

Still not 100% happy need some more stuff I think….UGGG!
