That's a great way to quickly dress up any bathroom mirror. I've done something similar but with a slightly different molding. I've also taking it a step further on a bathroom remodel and used 2 layers of trim then built a custom light fixture above the mirror. -

Robert Brantzeg Very nice! Love it! -
Thank you - I spruced up the acrylic tub with panels and capped it as well. I attached rectangular tile to the wall too.

I have seen several different posts on framing out those boring bathroom mirrors, but yours seems the easiest for me. I am in a condo & don't own the necessary tools to do the cutting soooo I think I will go find a Lowes handyman to do the cuts for me. -
You always have the easiest solutions to get the fanciest looks! I tweeted and pinned. Love! -
Linda W I'm sure he/she will be happy to! I'd love to see yours when it is finished!

I want to do this, but my mirrors are attached with clips, not to the wall...are yours glued directly to the wall? that makes it easier...I may just remove it and put up two smaller already framed mirrors to save me the hassle ;) Good job, looks nice! -
Colleen Mine are glued directly to the wall...I wish mine weren't so I could have just replaced the mirror with something small and nice...good luck and thank you :)

Colleen - all you have to do is take a large drill bit and drill into the backside of the frame where the clips are being careful not to drill all the way through the wood and you can just glue the wood right to the mirror. The trick if to make sure to paint the backside of the wood as the mirror will reflect what is on the backside if you look real close. I learned that from experiemnce

i had one of these kits it kept falling of the mirrow i kept on glueing it back on in the end ripped it of a waste of money!! -
Mrs P I heard the same things about the kits...that's why I went with doing my own with liquid nails...it won't budge.
-
Use Liquid Nails.....that's the strongest stuff I've ever seen. -
To Robert Brantzeg.....I used my Dremel Tool to notch out an area at the clip.
-
I did this years ago! Saw it on a tv show... Lynette Jennings maybe? It is great! Liquid nails does the trick! -
Any brand of construction adhesive works well. I prefer PL 375. It's less expensive than Liquid Nails and seems to bond quicker.
-
I love this and will be doing similar to all 3 of our bathroom mirrors. Thanks! -
Robert Brantzeg I'll have to try that for the next one, thanks for the info!
-
Debbie Borthwick That is great...I'd love to see them!
-
Super awesome! I love that you don't have to miter, I have done it but I still mess up....I have these exact "corner things" in my house too, so your idea is perfect! -
My dad (one of the best handymen I've ever known) has done this for years for all his girls (5 of us!), helping us to spruce up our houses. He is a master at mitering, though, so he always did that. :) -
Thanks, Mindi @ MyLove2Create.blogspot.com ! It really made such a huge difference! Lyndi F what lucky girls you are!!! How sweet!

Sooo excited to do this to my bathroom mirror :) I"ve been wanting to dress up my mirror for along time, but didn't know how, now I do and I can even do it myself. -
Love this!
