First commissioned project

Recommended Posts

I was asked by a co-worker who was re-doing her guest bathroom for a leather mirror frame. I am pretty pleased with how it turned out. My wife loves it so much, she wants me to make her one.

A leather mirror frame? Now that's not something I would have thought of.
How is that protected from the damp, warm steam of the room when the shower is on?

I was worried about that and did some extensive research. Fiebings Resolene waterproofs the leather. I put on multiple coats. It's stiffened it so it fit tightly around the frame. The strap that it's hanging from is more decorative. The real support is the wire in the back. It actually didn't take me that long. The longest part was letting the reaolene dry. I used almost an entire 4oz bottle of it!!
