A few days ago I shared my ideas of how I want to transform our dining room. I found this great oval mirror on clearance for $10.00 at Ross. The mirror was pretty banged up appearance wise. I didn’t matter to me, because I knew I was going to paint the mirror white. I like the beaded trim around the mirror.
The saw horses were a big help while I spray painted the mirror white
Pefect, large matte and 5x7 opening - LOVE IT
Over the weekend I was also in search of the perfect dark wood stain. Three trips to later (back in forth between Lowes & Home Depot) I found the almost perfect color. I say almost because the color I really wanted was Jocobean by Minwax but the color was no longer available at Home Depot and Lowes had no dark wood stains without red undertones. I ended up choosing Dark Walnut by Minwx which is very similar to Jocobean.
Can you tell why I liked Jocobean? Yup the color is just a little darker and richer...oh well.

Hey, if you can find 'Varathane' brand stain around you, they have a shade called Espresso that is darker like the Jacobean! It's what we used on our stairway treads. I get it at Menards and Ace hardware.
ReplyDeleteSara thanks for the Help, I really like your staircase color.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have Menard's in CA but we have Ace Hardware Stores, I'll stop in there this week...
