I have been wanting to try Country Chic paint for a while, but never took the time to order it for myself. Lo and behold, Kristin must have read my mind because when opening my Mother’s Day gift, I found these paints inside. So, I am going to share how it rates with me. If you know me, you know I love to paint to freshen up decor in our home.
The item I will be working on today is my Kirkland’s Arch Wall Mirror. When I purchased the mirror, it was a distressed cream. Since then, I painted it a dark brown.
I saw a two-tone mirror and thought I can create the same with mine, so I will use the Country Chic vanilla frosting (off white) for the grilles and the canape (brown) to refresh the outer frame.
First, I cleaned and sanded the mirror’s frame lightly. I don’t tape my work area off, if you do, this would be the time to do the task.
The first coat glided with ease and gave a good first coat covering.
To paint each side of the grilles, I kept turning the mirror standing it upright and then on its sides.
It would have been nice to remove the mirror from the frame, but this mirror didn’t come apart. I used a small paint brush and carefully painted the sides of the grilles.
I freshened up the brown with the Country Chic canape (brown).
After it was painted, I applied one coat of Minwax finishing wax.
Cleaned the mirror and placed it back up on the wall.
I do love the coverage, I only had to give the grilles two coats of the off white, which is super since I was painting over a dark brown. I really do like the paint and will be excited to use it again, oh and you know I will soon!!
Like always, I hope I inspire you to refresh something in your home with paint!! Thanks for stopping by. Here are the supplies I used on my mirror.
