The long awaited distressed mirror!

So I've finally got round to finishing my mirror. I'm really pleased with it and it works well with the rest of the furniture in my room too. I've had a lot of compliments on it too, success!

 This was the original mirror. I loved the shape of it, but the colour of the wood didn't really do anything for me, and it didn't go with my room either. So I decided to change it. I sanded it down and painted it a pale mint colour, then painted cream over the top. I then distressed it by sanding off some of the cream to show the mint underneath and then added gold over the top.

I was sparing with the gold because I wanted it to look antique but not over the top, but I think I managed to get a good balance in the end. It looks great on my dresser and really reflects the light from my window into the rest of my room.
