This gold mirror has been in my family for a while. I mean, it's not heirloom or anything, but it was on the wall in our home since I was about 10. Then my parents moved to a new home about 8 years ago and didn't want it. I have had in my apartment since. With the move to a new apartment, I have gone with a modern, casual decor, and the gold doesn't really work with the space anymore. So I decided to paint. And failed.
There it is, all taped up and ready to go! I bought a blue paint to try to match our backsplash and/or curtains...
You will see the blue color is almost gray. So that was the look I was going for. The paint I bought was beautiful and I really do love it, just not on the mirror.

You can see from the picture that the blue/gray color in the curtains, which is what I was going for, doesn't match the blue at all. Now, I am not trying to be all matchy-matchy and get them perfect, but I think the hue is all wrong. Oh well! Live and learn. I will have to try to find a way to fix it. I have some leftover silver paint which I may try to lightly cover, but I think I should just resolved by repainting :(
