I have seen some incredible mirrored tables and shelves made with white and mirrored or mercury glass.
I figured I could get the look without spending over $200.
I think I accomplished it.
I bought silver, chrome and white spray paints.
I looked everywhere for the mirrored stuff from Krylon but they do not sell in Canada and will not ship it too me.
GRRR!! Very frustrating I must say.
I found this gem of a tacky piece on craigslist for $10.
Perfect because even if I screw up its not a huge investment.
I started with the glass first.
I sprayed 2 even coats of the chrome paint first.
It worked like a charm.
Once dried it look like real mercury glass should.
I'm feeling pretty smart.
Under $40 for a one of a kind retro style piece for my bathroom.
