  • took mirror off then checked out pinterest for ideas then realized it didnt have to come off :( 2
  • soooo removed the one 4 light fixture and put in 2 two bulbed light fixtures The advantage to removing the mirror was we could cut the drywall behind the mirror to make new holes for the new lights
  • Room primed and painted and the mirror was reattached
  • also painted our cabinets in a trim and door paint
  • middle cabinet in place new light fixtures connected and now onto the framing of the mirrors
  • bottom of cabinet dressed then realized I needed more height to cover the original light "hole" grrr 3
  • NOTE: the cabinet was not from the counter top up it was actually started at the "back splash" just because the "back splash" is beveled and it just made it easier to start with something flat and dress and trim the bottom
  • we also spray painted the knobs a brushed nickel 1
  • and spray painted the hugger lights with the brushed nickel

  • the supports for the floating shelves

Large Bathroom Mirror redo to double framed mirrors and cabinet

Everyone hates the 6+ foot mirror that all main bathrooms seem to come with. Soooo we took an idea from a fellow pinterester and made it our own (so to speak). This is NOT a one day ...»
project but the results are worth the time :)

You will need

1"x4" MDF (32 ft)

1/2 birch plywd

Trim (40 ft)

Baseboard (3 ft)

All building supplies for the mirror/cabinet project approx. 40.00

Lights - 38.00 each on sale

New faux wood blind - 39.00

Paint - 5.00 (bought a mis tint from Rona)

1 can of brushed Nickel spray paint 10.00

we also did floating shelves in the water closet (another idea I got from a fellow Pinterester)

We only needed 2 shelves for this bathroom

but made 6 shelves

24X 8 inches with supports

1 sheet of 1/4 plywood, sanded on one side

10 1×2 pine boards

floating shelves supplies 20.00

when all was said and done the total reno for this bathroom was 190.00

Have fun with it and make it your own

How a heat register and a doorway morphed into a fence:

I like finding details in homes and using them... not copying them exactly, but being inspired by them to create something that fits with the theme of the home. The room where those ...»
details were found is the dining room and has a nice view of the fence.
