I used this idea and revamped my large bathroom mirror this weekend. Here are my photos.

I had just repainted my bathroom and a friend suggested I look at this site to revamp my large bathroom mirror. This is my before picture.

This is my completed picture, without stain. $163.00 in all and so far about 6 hours with myself and my brother, both novices in carpentry.

This was befor crown moulding and base moulding. I had yet to adhere the framing around the mirror.

Stained to match the below cabinets. Still have to steel wool, apply another coat of stain, steel wool again, and then one coat of satin finish polyurethane.

Thanks all for your comments. I do have one other word of advice. Before you adhere the wood to the mirror, I used liquid nails, ensure the wood is stained on the back as you can see the reflection of the bare wood in the mirror. I am using braided rope accent to mask this but will know better for my guest bathroom!. All in all it was about $200 and 15 hours worth of work. The wood I got was all from Lowes and much of the shelf wood came in plastic and was precut, (at least the sides and ...»
back). We cut the shelves from similar wood also purchased at Lowes. If anyone is interested I am willing to go into more detail but specific questions are easier than me generalizing. Thanks again for all of the encouragement.
