In master bath I have a large mirror with beveled edges above vanity.

The beveled edges are discolored across the bottom. Is it possible to frame the mirror out with wood/plastic trim over the glass beveled edges?

I have a large mirror in my bedroom that we bought from a store going out of business. The way we framed it was thus: we measured the dimensions of the mirror, then we cut (with mitered edges) four pieces of wood to surround the heavy mirror. The bottom piece my husband screwed to the wall first. We then set the mirror in it and I held it in place while he added the sides, and then he added the top. As I type this I realize he must have cut a rabbet in each of the four pieces of wood, like would be on a picture frame.
