How to decorate a children's dressing table

The original mirror

Mask the mirror

Apply first coat of paint

Second coat of paint

Mirror completed

The mirror:
We first applied masking tape to the mirror, running strips up against and alongside the frame to protect the mirror when painting into the corners and edges.

We painted the timber frame of our mirror with two coats of the same colored paint that we used for the handles of the drawers.

Allow drying time between coats.

To apply the paint we used an inch-thick paint brush, and brushed the paint on in random directions and uneven thickness.

This haphazard method allowed patches of the original timber to faintly show through, adding texture to the final result… to give an old-worldly look.

Once dried, we attached the extra two decorated daisy circles to the top two corners of the mirror with the wood glue.

Do this with the mirror lying down flat, and wait for the glue to dry. Once dry, place the now matching finished mirror on top of the chest of drawers to complete your unit.
