Antique Mirror

I found this mirror at Goodwill.  It is a true antique, and they were asking $40. Luckily it was half price day so I got it for $20.  I debated on whether or not to get it because they corner of it had been hit and it had a big gash in it. I decided to go for it and try to find something to fix it because I loved the shape of it.

I found a wood putty product, and I put it on the corner of the mirror. After I let it dry for a couple of days, I sanded it down. I have to say, you would never know it was there if you didn't know, and even if you do you still have to look pretty hard. I was very impressed with the wood product and I'm sure it will come in handy in the future.  I decided to paint this mirror orange as it was going to be my focal point in my new living room. I ended up finding a painting to use instead, so I ended up putting this in the hallway instead. I love the design of this mirror, and the flaws it has from being so old.  The orange really made the design of the mirror pop!
