Fast Fix Mirror Frame

The condo basement bathroom mirror frame had damage most likely from water splashed, shower humidity and/or cleaning sprays left on it. It is an easy fix though to bring it back to life in a few simple steps. Let me share the steps.

See the damage all along the bottom of the wooden frame?

Using a low grit sanding pad the wooden frame was hand sanded to remove all the loose and lifting paint off. The paint dust was vacuumed with my handy Dyson stick vacuum. Then a damp micro cloth was used to wipe it all clean. I also cleaned the mirror itself at this step to save a deep cleaning after it was painted.

I slid a smooth piece of paper under the frame edge to protect the mirror glass while painting and slid it along as I went. Using a small flat synthetic brush, black anchor Dixie Belle silk mineral paint was brushed on.

Two coats in total were painted on and that was it. This silk paint has a built in top coat making it a one step paint perfect for a easy fast fix.

paint on the mirror? no problem Use a razor to scrape off

Another update I could have done in the bathroom was spray paint the vanity light bar above the mirror like we did at my daughters condo.

The mirror was back in action in short order.
