It’s All In The Details

Recently I showed you this mirror that I purchased from Antique Farmhouse {another boon to my budget}.  It was a great price though ~ it was under $25.00.

The color wound up being perfect to go in our master bedroom as it isn’t far off the Duck Egg color on my dresser and mirror.  It seemed a shame though that the detailing didn’t stand out just a little bit more. 

So I took my antique gold Rub n Buff {the same as I used on my dresser’s handles} and, with a vinyl glove on, proceeded to apply it with my finger.

I blot the initial “blob” that comes out of the tube on napkins or  paper towel and then go at it.   And the details start to make themselves known.

I think it brings this mirror up a notch!  Plus, the gold goes with the other gold throughout the room.

I just got that little lamp at Hobby Lobby since I moved the one I had here into the guest bedroom.  The shade is a great match for in here.

Good news on the little table that sits under this mirror! 

Remember I wasn’t sure of how I wanted to proceed with the paint combination?  I saw a desk that Laura at Whimsical Perspective did and I’ve decided to do my demilune table much like she did her desk.  I think it’s a good amount of the two colors I will be using, which is Duck Egg and Old White.  I can’t wait to get started on that!

And ~ just to give you a preview of what’s going on here this week and what I hope to show you next week.

I mounted the bed crown!  The fabric came the other day and I’m hoping to get the panels sewed up for this before I leave for a visit to New York.
