Hello, fellow Doodlers! Richard and I visited friends in NC this weekend, and I came home with a few bargains. My friend Sallie took me on a whirlwind tour of 11 thrift and consignments stores on Saturday! One find was a French country mirror for the powder room.
You may remember from my previous powder room tour that I was on the lookout for a replacement mirror. This wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, but the price was ok, and the style is closer to what I was searching for.
Here is the original:
Subtle differences. The new mirror is a little wider and has a few more details.
I highlighted the details with silver Rub n Buff.
I originally thought I wanted a black framed mirror in here, but the white lightens the room up quite a lot, so I’ll live with it awhile before deciding if I want to paint it.
What do you think? Leave white, or paint black to tie in with the other black accents in the room?
Doodles,
Hey, I'm Sheila, and I'm so glad you're here! Stick around for a doodle of fun, faith, and furniture. Want to learn more? 
Sheila, you found a lovely mirror! The Rub n Buff was a perfect highlight for the details! I love your new addition to the powder room!

Love the silver accent you rubbed on. I like it white as it brightens it up & gives that French country look that you are known for!
Love the silver accent, I think black would be too dark because (in the photo) your walls look pretty dark. I like it as is

I like it white and the added Rub n Buff really gives it the wow feature.

I LOVE rub n’ buff. I used a tube of the gold version on plaster medallions to give them more depth and it really works wonders. Great job.
What a gorgeous mirror. I love the rub & buff accents.
Have a very Happy Valentine’s week!
I love it! And I say keep it white and bright.
Also, a whirlwind of 11 consignments and thrift shops sounds like my kind of day!

I completely disagree with the other comments, which is kind of par (for the course) for me. I think black matte finish with silver rub and buff on the accents . Every room needs a touch of black, its dressy and it help draw the eye. Can’t see much of the rest of the room, but reflected in the mirror, I do see a black metal piece on the wall.
