Pinterest Project #2 - Framing Builder Grade Mirrors

Well I have thought about it, and thought about it, and thought about it some more.  This week when mom was in town to help ~ I finally did it - Framed those huge builder grade mirrors in our bathrooms.

I looked all over at tutorials and found this one to be the best for my situation.  I followed her instructions here.  She actually framed the mirrors with PVC molding.  I thought it was an awesome idea because I could spray paint the molding to any color I wanted. 

For the kids beach bathroom, I kept the molding white - soooo simple.  Here are the before and afters . . .


After:


I LOVE how the kids mirror turned out, but I'm really doing a happy dance over here over our master bath mirror.  I spray painted the molding with Oil Rubbed Bronze finish for this look.

Here it is before:



And after:




Can you hear me squealing???

And the best part - total cost for all supplies for both mirrors $80 !! 

Thanks mom for all the encouragement while I sawed those angle cuts :)

Bonus:  Both the kids and hubby thought I had bought new mirrors.

  2. I have always thought this is one of the neatest ideas & wanted to do it in our old house! But then we moved & put in different bathroom mirrors here, so I haven't had a chance to do it. Yours turned out GREAT!! The one in your MB really is fantastic! Awesome job!!
