I love the framed mirror! Did you put the ceramic tile directly on the mirror?

Randi Destefano on Sep 22, 2012No we didn't. That's where the tricky math comes in. You need to add up the space for the bullnose, the pencil liner and the pinwheel . That determines the size of the mirror. Hope this helps. The border is applied, then the mirror.Helpful Reply

Linda Vance on Sep 23, 2012Thanks! I have a big mirror that covers the entire wall & goes to the top of the backsplash over a double sink vanity. Do you think ceramic tile could be applied directly to that? I am looking for a way to update this without replacing the entire mirror.Helpful Reply

WallsTreat Studio/ Kass Wilson on Sep 23, 2012Keep in mind that when you apply something directly on to a mirror that you will be able to see the back side from the reflection. The back of tile doesn't sound too attractive. Also, tile will be heavy. Instead, consider creating a frame out of flat wood. Then, paint it or decorate it to compliment your room and be sure to paint the back side as well. Here is an example that was made out of scrap lumber and then finished to match the cabinetry. If you look closely, you will see that the back of the mirror was painted black.Helpful Reply

Linda Vance on Sep 23, 2012I see what you mean. I hadn't thought about the reflection showing the back of the tile. I think the wood frame would probably be a better choice for me & thanks for the great tip on painting the back of the frame, too. :)Helpful Reply
