I have turned over a new
leaf. I love a good transformation and I prefer that something be free or a
good bargain (thus the love for reinvention).. Sometime ago, we were gifted this large gold rectangular mirror.
No one beat me up here, but I feel that gold and brassy finishes are dated.
While I hate this mirror’s finish, I refuse to take it down. Why you may ask…
Well, without a major redo (adding windows and doors), mirrors are a great way
to reflect light and visually expand your space.
We’ve always thought we’d
put it off “until we figure out something better” as far
as a finish and we figure it’s about time we make it work. We’re going to give it an
Extreme Measures paint job. The dining set is oak and I have not yet convinced
my husband to let me paint that (My hope is that I will convince him).… but we
need your help picking the new color for the mirror (and to feel confident
about the change).
Our top three color
contenders are:
1. Black
2. White
3. White with a Rub n
Buff Finish
...Or do YOU have another
option I have yet to think of?
Do you see why we need
your input? We’re been paralyzed with indecision for years. Time to make the change.
So, cast your vote for one of the options above, or let me know an idea I may have missed. Thanks in advance for all the help and, of course, I will be posting the photo after it is completed!

You can't go wrong with black !
i agree... black is timeless.
without knowing your whole space, I think it'd be fun to do a faux Mercury glass technique on the frame.
I did this "out of the box" technique to a frame and loved the way it turned out! I can't explain it and do it justice so just go see:
