It’s giving Cotswold Co but it was free! This hack has saved us thousands from transforming our beams, doors, furniture and even our porch! I’ll always be a huge @frenchicpaint fan!

So happy with this mirror transformation! I was kindly given this mirror by a friend who knew exactly what I would want to do with it!

Comment FRENCHIC below and I’ll send you the links direct but the products used are -
The Lazy Range - creme de la creme & Browning Wax

I gave the mirror just 1 thin coat of the lazy range so the wood grain is still visible, once fully dry I added one coat of wax, I layer this thick and then brush out in the direction of the wood grain. I left to dry overnight before adding one more coat as I wanted it slightly darker!

Finally I wipe off any excess with furniture polish!

Let me know if you prefer the before or after below 👇🏽

With Love,
Chanel x

If you were to do this on a table, how would you stop it scuffing ?

If I wanted to paint my table in the same way, what would you use to protect it? Thank you
