  3. Lindsay I have a big question. My bathroom mirrors have a mirrored frame around them and I want to put some kind of finish on them because they are starting to have spots where the mirror part is coming off. I thought about decoupage but I can’t figure out what to do. Do you have any ideas? I sure would appreciate some help. Thanks Patricia

    1. My first thought is an enamel paint like Folk art enamels or Martha Stewart Multi Surface paint. Wipe the mirror with alcohol and paint away! I really like the folk art enamels, I have only used a couple MS colors but they are made by the same company so they are probably the same stuff. They cure is 21 days and are extremely durable.
