@@VintageBeeDesign I looked again, I know why you kept. It is a nice colour and the glass fabulous I want to do thexmirror glass and stencil on my front door. It's an old Victorian era home, and the original glass was that etched glass, however only one piece left inside in the door into the living room, that is red with a pattern. I have always wanted to do etched glass in the front door but expensive to buy it, the red is way expensive. Now I see this I think the mirror glass and stencil is the way to go. I know you can now buy etching paste but I like this. Is there a final reveal where you put them that I could look at?
Great instructions. Beautiful results. The seal on the stationary portion of my kitchen window apparently wore out and so that part of it has become discolored with white spots in between the two panes. Before I replace the window I am going to try this method. It's so lovely anyway that I want to use it on one of my hutches as well. This way my window will remain functional for now AND look gorgeous. New windows aren't cheap. Thanks.
This is amazing! I can't wait to try it. Can you show us the technique on how you did the wood finish on the front please? I want to do this to all of my glass, and furniture now! LOL
Thank you ... I have a vintage airstream and two of the windows look terrible because there is an interior UV film between two layers of glass that is cracked and curling and can't be removed until I take the entire two-window assembly apart. I'm going to use this technique to camouflage the cracked UV, but without the background coat because I want the light to show through ... may be a disaster, but this is the best method I can think of, temporarily, to make the windows decorative in a way that will let light through and use the crackle as a design element. Experimenting by the seat of my pants! lol
You will need to use a product to remove the back of the mirror. It’s much more difficult, but still feasible. You just have to remove the glass and backing (without breaking them) first.
Wow! I love this look🤩 I have never seen this technique with stencils...it’s awesome....I paint furniture and have an old farmhouse....this would look so nice on some upcoming projects..thank you for sharing 😊🌟k
I have another technique that I really want to try with tissue or mulberry paper. I'll be trying that one out soon. Stay tuned to find out if it's a hit or a fail. lol.
I do my pattern, then use mirror spray, then metallic spray (they have a different look than each other). The metallic silver will look like the mirror has lost it’s reflectiveness. So, you’ll have the shiny mirror and the “dull “ mirror, just like real mercury glass.
When you say background color, what do you recommend? Do you mean the color behind the mercury glass? If so, you could go with almost anything. Why not try a navy blue? You can always practice on thrifted art first!
I stumbled upon your video and I was blown away by your project! I've NEVER commented on a TH-cam video! I just found an antique door with glass inserts and I think your technique would be so perfect. I was wondering if light can still filter through the glass? I do plan to use the antique door to replace my front door. BTW, thanks for sharing the technique!
Mme Chien Thank you! That’s so kind! I hope you do try it and tell me how it goes! I’m actually going to try another one with smoked glass and gold leafing today!
If I did my stencil in white would I need to use white on the last step where you sprayed the brown all over. I hope that makes sense. Your project is beautiful
Take that Isoprol and RUN for your life 🤪 Everyone is now after it for sanitising their hands etc.....Covid19 and we all are on lockdown, stores sold out of this and alot of other stuff. Omg! Puppy pads are sort after too...... I love the way your project turned out. Im going to try that now. Stay safe everyone Cheryl from UK xxxx
Cheryl Oldford so funny! Yeah. Thankfully I have a full cupboard of project supplies, including waaayyy too many puppy pads. Somehow I put them on auto order with Amazon. Lol. 💕
WOW.... This is BEAUTIFUL... EXCELLENT VIDEO... Thank you so much for sharing this video. Question> What was that "Digging" Noise in the background? It was a little annoying... All We want to do is to HEAR YOU TALK.... No background noise.
This is BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for teaching and sharing! I would love to do this on my china cabinet. I heard you say that the product used for the mirror technique was called Mirror Mate but I can not seem to locate it anywhere. Can you please advise where you purchased it or if there are any substitutes that may work? I don't want to just guess and then mess my project up completely and have to cry. lol
This is so beautiful. It looks amazing! I have black glass in my kitchen cabinet doors. Would you reco on black opaque glass? Any advise is appreciated!
Bonnie Criscione-Brown ok. They are seriously dark. 😬 if it were my kitchen, I would probably have new glass cut and inserted, or even more likely, paint over the glass.
I buy them from Amazon. www.amazon.com/Beautify-Beauties-Flairosol-Empty-Bottle/dp/B07GRD5WLD/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2TC8Q5VUKVUM7&dchild=1&keywords=misting+spray+bottle&qid=1588633408&sprefix=misting+sp%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-2
Paper towels are absorbent whereas baby wipes are still moist. I didn’t want to completely blot it all up. Either would work. I’m generally not someone who uses baby wipes for projects, but it is helpful here .
You say, " I think you'll find when it's all done, it's pretty spectacular." Well, you didn't show us the completed piece of furniture. Would really have liked to have seen the finished product all put together. I'm sure it was nice.
Awww. You are concerned for my health AND you think I’m young enough to have been pregnant. How thoughtful of you! Thanks for watching and thinking of me!
What do you think the purpose of a tutorial is? I will say the” I’m gonna go ahead…” started to get distracting, but that’s probably a more me thing than it is Vintage Bee thing.
Thank you for explaining why using the different materials and the purpose of each material/step. Great tutorial.
Pretty Spectacular Indeed !!! Fantastic Melissa !!! 🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎

Great video. Thanks for such awesome tips. Qq. Can I roll/brush paint in the back instead of spraying it?? Right at the end I mean. Thanks.
Yes, you can.
Very nice, would suggest having all done except for 2. Do the measuring skip to the last 2. Will save time.
Thank you so much for not rushing through the steps! You are a very good teacher😊
Thank you! Sometimes I need to remember to keep it slow!
Love it, love it, love it :) Going to do this on my TV cabinet doors :)
Thank you so much!
Just perfect!!!! Thanks for sharing!!

@@VintageBeeDesign I haven't yet as I need to wait for warmer weather. The entire interior needs painting.
GORGEOUS!!!!!
Thank you! I loved this piece so much I had to keep it!
Could you show us the finished piece? It looks great even before being fully assembled so I can't imagine how lovely it looks completed.
So beautiful

kari scary you are very welcome. In the end, I loved this piece so much that I ended up keeping it.

Hello from Orlando! This looks great! I'm trying to turn mirrored sconces into mercury glass..I've got to look up how to do that now...

Amazing ,lovley, I ll make my own 💗
Thank you!
@@VintageBeeDesign please ,when you use metallic when mirror sprey ,only that I dont understand . Firsr laser after patteen Is mirror?

Absolutely beautiful! Would love to see the finished project. Thank you for sharing these steps from beginning to end. Very detailed.
imirodriguez334 we are working on the final video of the entire piece. Subscribe and you should see it soon!
Here's the final piece, including how I painted the cabinet. th-cam.com/video/saNVtp5ibLU/w-d-xo.html
What stencil is that you are using? I love! I tried finding and clicked on links below and couldn’t find anywhere?
I don't think it's made anymore, but I know I have one in my store. I'll put it online and send you the link. I'm sorry that I missed your comment.

Thank you!
If I did my stencil in white would I need to use white on the last step where you sprayed the brown all over. I hope that makes sense. Your project is beautiful
No. That really has to do with what you want to see behind the reflective surface. A dark color is usually better.
@@VintageBeeDesign Thank you so much for getting back to me. 💖
You are very welcome. I apologize it took so long! I usually try to answer the same day, but it’s been a little crazy.
Thx so much ... amazing
Please what did you used the vinegar for
The vinegar sort of breaks up the paint, creating small speckles and texture.
Take that Isoprol and RUN for your life 🤪 Everyone is now after it for sanitising their hands etc.....Covid19 and we all are on lockdown, stores sold out of this and alot of other stuff. Omg! Puppy pads are sort after too...... I love the way your project turned out. Im going to try that now. Stay safe everyone Cheryl from UK xxxx
Cheryl Oldford so funny! Yeah. Thankfully I have a full cupboard of project supplies, including waaayyy too many puppy pads. Somehow I put them on auto order with Amazon. Lol. 💕
Mara, can you do raised stencils on mirror? thanks for this video
April Chavez I probably would not do that. Because it’s behind the glass, it wouldn’t really show. You could do it on the outside of the glass though.
Rave Home Staging Thanks that’s what I meant. Would I need to prime the mirror first so the clay would stick?
This looks absolutely beautiful..
I'd been longing to do this technique!!
Qq- have u done anythg similar on mirror?
I haven’t because I don’t have any to strip the back off
WOW.... This is BEAUTIFUL...
EXCELLENT VIDEO...
Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Question> What was that "Digging" Noise in the background? It was a little annoying...
All We want to do is to HEAR YOU TALK.... No background noise.
Dinging noise ...not Digging ...
What would it look like if you sprayed the stencil with white?
You certainly could do that, but I don’t think that would look “old”. Maybe I’ll try it on a future piece.
Nice What is your ratio of vinegar to alcohol? Looks like fun
They are in different bottles, so it’s really just what you like.
@@VintageBeeDesign thank you , great video.
Thank you! I hope you give it a try!
So beautiful! Have you ever used a sanding block to kind of distress the stencil? I am wondering how that would work.
I have not. I’m sure you could. You could also use alcohol to spritz and distress.
Sehr cool Respekt
Are you using straight alcohol and vinegar or are they a 50/50 blend with water?
These are straight up 100% of the product. I did not dilute at all.
This is BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for teaching and sharing! I would love to do this on my china cabinet. I heard you say that the product used for the mirror technique was called Mirror Mate but I can not seem to locate it anywhere. Can you please advise where you purchased it or if there are any substitutes that may work? I don't want to just guess and then mess my project up completely and have to cry. lol
Any mirror glass product can be used. I typically buy mine on Amazon.
@@VintageBeeDesign thank you so much for the advice and quick response!
Very pretty look. It would have been more helpful to see the process if you'd lifted up the doors after each application.
This was one of my first videos. I think I’ve gotten better .
This is so beautiful. It looks amazing! I have black glass in my kitchen cabinet doors. Would you reco on black opaque glass? Any advise is appreciated!
Bonnie Criscione-Brown is it smoked glass, or fully opaque?
Rave Home Collection & Staging it is opaque.
It is opaque black.
Bonnie Criscione-Brown can you email me a photo at melissa@rave-Jacksonville.com?
Bonnie Criscione-Brown ok. They are seriously dark. 😬 if it were my kitchen, I would probably have new glass cut and inserted, or even more likely, paint over the glass.
Awesome!
Thank you!! You did a great job editing!
Can u plz mention the name of spray which u used for mirror effect
amzn.to/3JXyd01
@@VintageBeeDesign thank u so much
Your amazing
That’s very kind. Thank you!
Where did you buy the spray bottle's?
I buy them from Amazon. www.amazon.com/Beautify-Beauties-Flairosol-Empty-Bottle/dp/B07GRD5WLD/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2TC8Q5VUKVUM7&dchild=1&keywords=misting+spray+bottle&qid=1588633408&sprefix=misting+sp%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-2
What is the use of the vinegar?
The vinegar is to help add details. It reacts differently than the alcohol.
👏👏
Thank you! This is still one of my favorite pieces ever. I kept it for my home.
Was just wondering do you find baby wipes work better then paper towel? I’ve never antiqued a mirror before but I’m gearing up to. Any kind baby wipe?
Paper towels are absorbent whereas baby wipes are still moist. I didn’t want to completely blot it all up. Either would work. I’m generally not someone who uses baby wipes for projects, but it is helpful here .
Why can’t I find this stencil?
It has been discontinued, but I might have 1 left. I won’t be able to check until Monday, but I will then.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
💕💕
You might want to think about speeding up MORE of this video as a bunch of us just wanted to see the materials and technique. thanks.
Marilyn Griffin thanks for the feedback.
if you spray straight down you won't get overspray
Good tip! Thanks!
I enjoyed this, thank you. The video could really do without the tinkling and tapping noises in the background though.
Thank you for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
😕 I would say it’s ok if someone likes that look but it’s not the look for me but it was interesting to watch
Thanks for the comment. I ended up keeping this piece and it’s still my favorite in my home.
