Mirror Redo... Metallic Faux Gator

In my last post, I mentioned my mirror that got a makeover.  This was a quick and easy makeover.  My favorite kind.  I think I found this mirror at a Homegoods/Marshall's store or some place like that.  It's faux leather which was pretty obvious in black.  It has an alligator skin texture to it that you couldn't really see.  But now....it's screaming I'm a metallic alligator leather mirror (with no actual gators harmed!)

Here it was

Here it is now.

And a close up

It's a mix of gold leaf and silver leaf Rub n' Buff and then framed with nailhead trim!

Told you it was easy!  I might go back and add a little more gold to it... we'll see how that plays out.

Oh and speaking of nailhead trim check out this pic.

Check out that black chest of drawers clad in gold nailhead trim!  I haven't painted anything black in years.  Matter of fact, I tend to take things that are black and lighten them up.  Hence my mirror makeover, but that was mainly because the black faux leather looked kind of cheap. I don't have a single piece of black furniture in my house. This piece is making me rethink that!!  I love that wallpaper too!  How fun is that?!

How about you?  Got any black furniture pieces?

Smiles!
