How to Whitewash a Wooden Mirror Frame
Whitewashing is a simple and effective technique for giving wooden surfaces a distressed, aged look. It's a great way to update an old mirror frame or create a new one with a rustic charm. Here are the steps on how to whitewash a wooden mirror frame:
Materials you'll need:
- Wooden mirror frame
- White latex paint
- Water
- Container for mixing
- Brush or sponge
- Sandpaper
- Cloth or paper towels
Instructions:
- Clean the mirror frame. Remove any dirt or debris from the frame with a damp cloth. Allow it to dry completely.
- Mix the whitewash. In a container, combine 1 part white latex paint with 1 part water. Stir until well combined. The consistency should be like that of thick cream.
- Apply the whitewash. Dip a brush or sponge into the whitewash and apply it to the frame in thin, even strokes. Allow the whitewash to dry for several minutes.
- Wipe off the excess whitewash. Use a cloth or paper towels to gently wipe off any excess whitewash from the surface of the frame. This will create a distressed, aged look.
- Sand the frame (optional). If you want a more distressed look, use sandpaper to lightly sand the frame. This will remove some of the whitewash and create a more weathered appearance.
- Seal the frame (optional). If you want to protect the whitewash from wear and tear, you can apply a clear sealant to the frame. Allow the sealant to dry completely before using the mirror.
- Test the whitewash mixture on an inconspicuous area of the frame before applying it to the entire surface.
- If you want a more opaque finish, add more white paint to the mixture.
- If you want a more transparent finish, add more water to the mixture.
- Be patient and allow the whitewash to dry completely between each step.
- Have fun and experiment with different techniques to create a unique whitewashed finish.
