**ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!** Natural Time-Worn Patina -OR- SHaBBy Painted???

Let's Talk PATINA...

Let's Talk MIRRORS...

Let's Talk WHITE...

For the most part as a seller, I like to stock/sell "items I love"...  In my mind, there are two styles of "SHABBY"  ~ A NATURAL TIME-WORN PATINA -or- SHABBY-PAINTED & DISTRESSED... My personal preference is a natural time-worn patina that only time can produce, but I've come to find that some people prefer "freshly-painted" vintage items that are slightly distressed...  Both have Sold Well for me in the past... ~ It's just a matter of personal preference...  Both of these SHaBBy Styles work well together...

If I'm going to spend the time "SHaBBy-Painting" a vintage item, it has to have "interesting form"...  I painted the flowers a slightly warmer shade of white than the rest of the frame, and lightly distressed them... 

This Mirror WAS such an ugly color - but it had such LOVELY DETAILS!!!  Painting it WHITE changed everything...  There are sooooo many shades of white ~ that "white-on-white" still shows off the mirror...

Here's the mirror on a "dark wall"...  It REALLY POPS!!!

Just Sweet!*!*!  Endless placement possibilities...

From my personal collection, these are Mirrors with a natural time-worn patina...  Two things I love about MiRRorS: "ChiPPy-White" & Time Worn Silver-Loss PaTinA!*!*!

What is YOUR Preference???
