Vintage Dresser Mirror Makeover with Turquoise Chalk Paint and Brown Wax Glazing

  • Today I'm showing you how to paint dresser mirrors. I used Dixie Belle chalk paint products on this piece and it went by REALLY fast. Along with using a turquoise chalk paint, I used Dixie Belle brown wax to glaze the piece and mute the color. You can buy all of these products from Dixie Belle Paint Company online: dixiebellepaint.com?aff=223
    I started by taking the back off of the mirror, removed all of the staples. Gave everything a good cleaning with Dixie Belle White Lightning cleaner which is a great TSP product.
    After that I just had to paint the chalk paint on with a brush, allow it to dry, apply the brown wax, and wipe it off to get this beautiful look.
    Let me know what you think about this piece in the comments!

    A massive reeducation in one evening. As a student of furniture restoration, I marvel at your accomplishments, your risk at using what you have at hand, (I too have mucho cans of paint, waiting to be opened) and your remarkable results. They always look sharp.

    Very nice, recently I purchased a dresser mirror very similar to yours. Took the mirror out , decided I was going to make a chalk board where the mirror was. I used the backing and used chalk board paint, now I can write seasonal message on it. I plan to use it by my front door, outside.

    The mirror turned out great as all your projects are! When young and I’m old now, we used TSP for everything. Washing walls and didnt take flat paint off! It got harder and harder to find, was in a box. The one they substituted it with is not the same. Tri sodium phosphate. So my mother switched to using Tide powder detergent. It probably doesn’t have phosphates now either but i still use it to clean a lot of things. It works. I use it to wash carpets and upholstery too. You foam it up and use the foam and a scrub brush. Just an old lady hint. I’m looking for that Dixie Bell though.
