Ballard Designs Knockoff Sunburst Mirror

Y’all, I have been coveting this Ballard Designs Sunburst Mirror for what seems like ages.  At a price tag of $99 plus shipping, I have tirelessly stalked the outlet to no avail.

So, imagine my delight when I spied Mother’s $25 knockoff version!!

June 2012 535Don some plastic gloves and give it a good coat of rub n buff.  Just squirt a little out on your finger and go to town.  I’m not sure if it will stay here in the guest room, but it’s the only place I could come up with for now and no way was I sending this beaut off to the bowels of my closet to never be seen or heard from again!

I was waiting for your how to! I found a sunburst mirror at the Goodwill for a mere $2.00 and couldn't wait to pretty it up! Thanks!

You did such a great job. I have been using rub n buff for years and just love it.

I just ran out to our Target at lunch and snagged the very last one! I may try to spray paint mine silver or some other fun color. Thanks for the heads up and recommendations! Love your blog and style!

Well this must be Ballard's knock-off week because I just posted something today that I copied! LOL! The mirror looks beautiful and I just wanted to also say thank you so much for passing along the Versatile Blogger award to us last week. That was so sweet and we are honored! :-)
