Yesterday I showed you that I spray painted my gold mirror white, but after it was finished, it was a little too stark for the space. I thought I'd add some walnut stain on top of the white paint to soften it up.
Here you can see it is a little too white for the space.
So here's what I used
I applied it with a brush and wiped it off with a rag. I used a dry brush so that the crevices wouldn't be really dark. And I also used Qtips to get into the tight spaces.
It looks much better now as it goes a lot better with the accessories in the space.
the stain made such a difference!!! I love it, thanks for sharing!
