Make a Nautical Hanging Mirror
An antique oval mirror found at the thrift store
undergoes a major transformation.
This hanging mirror turned nautical with the addition of a length of weathered rope found on the beach.
I gave the antique mirror a coat of Annie Sloan Duck Egg Blue Chalk Paint®, dark wax, then sanded it to distress.
It was then that I saw the mirror begin to transform in front of my eyes.
Nautical! This old mirror took on a coastal flair with the rope and a metal plaque I added to the bottom of the frame.
I fell in love with the nautical color and the beachy loveliness of this old mirror. The authentic rope is my favorite part.

The old salty old rope I found on the beach was perfect!
I had just one problem with this project....
The camera wants to focus on the mirror's reflection...What do you do with that??
99 pictures later I finally got the actual mirror frame somewhat in focus.
So much for the photo, the mirror came out awesome!
Sweet update story....
I was contacted by a young teen who thought this would make the perfect gift for his mother. I told him how to purchase the mirror off my Etsy shop and
he bought it for his Mom.
