Framed Mirror

I know it's been done a million times before but oh well! I'm proud of my new bathroom mirror and you have to hear about it! Or at least see it anyway. As you can see I also spray painted the light fixture to match the faucet and towel ring. This frame only cost me about 8 bucks. Only problem is that I bought enough to do both my bathrooms and then lost my motivation to do the other one.

Here's the how-to:

1) Measure mirror

2) Buy molding at Home Depot

3) Cut corners with miter box and sand rough edges

4) If you have hooks holding the mirror up, cut out a piece from the molding so it fits over it

5) Paint front and back since the back will show in the mirror

6) Carefully glue to the mirror on the outermost edge (use mirror adhesive)

7) Wood putty corners and paint over them once dry

I did not paint the back at all, did not paint the front until after the molding was up, did not cut out where my metal hooks would be AND I used a crappy glue, therefore had to use multiple shower rods to hold my frame in place until it dried. Moral of the story: Do as I say in my instructions, not as I did :)
