Bathroom mirror redo

Sharyn Diaz
by Sharyn Diaz
I cut down a large 1/4" frameless mirror which had been removed for a bathroom makeover so it was free for the taking. My sister lives in Florida and she collected a huge amount of shells and mailed them to me in Oregon so I could decorated the mirror for my beach themed bathroom. 6 tubes of E6000 glue and a finish coat of satin wipe-on poly (I did brush it on lightly to keep the shells easier to clean) and I am quite happy with my shell embellishments.
The 1st layer of shells were glued heavily to create a solid base
continue to add layers and fill in spaces a section at a time to allow the glue to setup well
I was going for a shell encrusted shore look rather than a border
Installed in the bathroom
Right at home

    I love it !!! I been debating doing something similar to my bathroom mirror but didn't have the guts to do it. Now, seeing how beautiful yours turned out I'm ready to tackle mine.
