How To Quickly Update A 1970s Coppercraft Guild Mirror
Remember the ever so popular Coppercraft wall decor from the 70s? During a trip to Goodwill recently I found a guild mirror for under $5. I was drawn to the mix of textures and knew painted a bright color, those details would pop. So today I'm sharing how to quickly update a 1970s Coppercraft guild mirror in bright colors, like turquoise.
Upcycled Vintage 70s Coppercraft Guild Mirror
I know there are folks who collect Coppercraft wall decor and would be appalled that I painted the mirror. But there are others who love mid-century decor updated to work with current decorating styles. A case in point is this upcycled Coppercraft mirror that sold very quickly.
This is what the guild mirror looked like before the makeover.
And here it is after the makeover painted turquoise. Wouldn't you agree this mid-century Coppercraft mirror looks gorgeous painted a bright color?
Let's take a closer look at those lovely texture details after being painted. See what I mean about them popping?
I think it looks so fresh and modern and would look great in any room. The turquoise tray below it is also an upcycled thrift store find and you can see that makeover here in my Plastic Thrift Store Tray Refresh post.

Hi Marie,
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy how just a little paint in the right color can make a big difference on a relove. This is so great. I also watched the video on the lady pretending to go on vacation. That would be me!!!! Have a great new week ahead. xoxo
I know, right! It never ceases to amaze me even after all these years upcycling decor and furniture. That video was pretty funny, eh! Wishing you a great week too my friend. xo
DeleteOMG I just posted a hanging coppercraft plant pot on my Etsy store yesterday and picture of it on my IG story half hour ago! Totally remember my mom going to these parties
ReplyDeleteThey were so popular! I bet you sell them quickly on Etsy because there are many collectors who would be appalled that I painted mine. LOL
DeleteThat's so pretty Marie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tania, I'm glad you like it!
DeleteThanks for giving me the “push” to paint and update my copper craft collection!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought about selling them (original) on Etsy, but I love the updated turquoise!!! Retro, fun and artsy!!!
Oh wow, I'm so excited to hear my painted Coppercraft mirror has inspired you to not only keep your collection but to breathe new life into it too! The lovely textures look so amazing painted in bright colors but even white is gorgeous too. Have fun updating your collection!
