Framing Those Boring Mirrors

home Framing Those Boring Mirrors

Many of us have those plain plate glass mirrors in our bathrooms that are standard builders grade. Nothing fancy about them.

Did you know that you can completely change the look and you can do-it-yourself for around $35 total?

Well, I have great news…yes, you certainly can! I just completed this project at my own house and now I have two very pretty mirrors and I did them without having to start over.  All you need to do is buy molding at your local home improvement store, like I've shown above.  Cut the molding to fit your mirror. home Framing Those Boring Mirrors

You can paint them whatever color works for YOUR bathroom. home Framing Those Boring Mirrors

And here's the best part…you can attach the molding with your hot glue gun! Yes, another use for that handy gadget. home Framing Those Boring Mirrors

And you'll end up with a fresh new look for not so much money.  So, what are you waiting for?  Get the supplies ready to go and frame out your boring mirrors now.  You'll be so glad you did! home Framing Those Boring Mirrors

And you'll be the envy of all your friends, as they ask HOW you did it!  For step by step details and answers to ALL your questions, go and visit my blog post at Southern Hospitality.  And add one more project to your list!

    Great project, Rhoda! I am on my wait upstairs to look at my boring bathroom mirrors. I might risk gluing all of my fingers to the molding (again) in order to make my mirrors look all fancy like yours. :-)

  9. I have always thought this was possible, but didn't know exactly how to pull it off. Thank you so much! I have three bathrooms I can make prettier.

    Do you mind me asking what color paint you used for the pale blue bathroom?

    Great idea! I have seen it done, but it is always mitered wood. I never though about doing it this way.

    I think I know what my next project is!
