How can I tone down a mirrow frame that is too bright and brassy of a gold color?
It is a large mirror - very heavy with a carved wood frame. The design is not intricate or ornate, but rather, more of an '80's Spanish furniture motif - if you remember that look. Kind of rustic and knobby. I'm sure it was originally a dark wood, but someone painted it white.
My daughter worked on it, but I am not pleased with the result. I wanted a dark, antiqued gold or a burnished gold with some subtle darker shadings to highlight the knobby swirls and lines of the carvings. I don't want it just a solid gold - I want it toned down. She has worked with antique gold, burnt umber, and sienna colors, but the frame is still too brassy and bright.
I don't want to scrap it, because it is a nice, heavy piece. I couldn't replace the quality without spending big $$$$. Help?
Try spray painting it black, and wiping most of it off, while wet. This may give a more " antique " look.
