Mirror Mirror {finally on the wall}

I found this gorgeous antique Victorian mirror in New Jersey over the summer.  It had been stored in a dusty, dirty basement for years and not only was it filthy but had its finish scrapped and sanded at one point.  Honestly, my Husband did not like the mirror at all initially when I found it.  It did not take long at all for him to see it the way I did.  I absolutely love its charm!  The shape and carved details are just ever so slightly Swedish and though not a fan of shabby chic its rustic finish strangely fascinated me.  Now instead of painting the mirror with milk paint we’ve decided to simply oil and wax it instead.  While my Husband cleaned the mirror I photographed it.

Here are some of the macro photos …
