Antiqued Mirror

So I forgot to take a before picture! I am new at the whole tutorial thing. I had recently come across a mirror. Oval and with a really nice border. I was so excited but it did need work. Instead of it ending up in the garbage I took it and decided to redecorate the mirror.
I had purchased some glossy white spray paint and planned on painting the frame white. Than leaving it at that. I wasn't really sure how to cover the mirror part so i figured I could scrape the spray paint later.
So first I started out with the first coat of spray paint. I did it really thing and liked the way that it was taking to the frame and decided that I wasn't going to do a clean white frame that I was going to make it look more antiqued.

I then got some clean acrylic paint and watered it down a bit and went over the mirror with it. The dark paint ran down in the corners of the frame accenting (That's a word right?) the cracks and dings in the mirror making it look older.

I went and filled in the missing parts of the frame with black. To look like it chipped off. When all was said and done this is what I came up with!

I took a little bit of water and wiped out the middle of the frame. I like the edges a little hazy I am contemplating painting a tree in the center because I love trees so much. 

This would also make a great spooky Halloween Mirror!
