We bought our current home as a spec house. So it was new, but we didn't get to pick out anything. Everything was pretty generic...the lighting, faucets etc... Over the past six years we have gradually made it our own.
I've always had a wish list for framed mirrors in the bathrooms. I think it just gives it such a nice finished look. Unfortunately neither of us is handy with wood and the idea of cutting and fitting pieces together seemed a little daunting. So we went another way. Have you ever heard of Mirror Mate?? They are a fabulous company that only specializes in framing mirrors. We measured both our girls bathroom and our master and then a few weeks later...voila. It comes in the mail all ready to assemble and install.
You just lay out the pieces and glue them together. There is a really strong adhesive on the back that sticks to the mirror. So all you have to do is line the frame up on the mirror (with guides that they send) and press on. Super easy and it looks wonderful! They have several different styles and colors to choose from. So you get to pick out just what you want. I love that:)
I can't tell you how much I think it improved the bath rooms. They both have a much more custom look now. **Oh and little tip. If you do go to their site...at the top of the page click on buzz. There are some bloggers who wrote reviews for them. If you mention them in the code box you get a discount...score!
Even Fergie was impressed! Can't ya tell:)
Have a blessed day.
holy cow. what a great product. they make such a huge difference in the look of your bathrooms. i love them. i have a super ugly mirror in the laundry room. i was going to rip it out - someday. i may be using them instead. thanks becky!!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky! That looks great! I've been wanting frames around my mirrors too...I'm going to have to bug the Mister about that :) I love the first picture with your dog. She looks like she is so interested in the mirror frame and what you guys are doing. Boy she's cute.
ReplyDeleteI love that your dog is looking on as you glue the pieces together. Those frames really do make the bathrooms look so much nicer. Great find!
ReplyDeleteThey look so great! I think I might have to check them out. We have one bathroom with the same kind of mirror...and it just does nothing for me!
ReplyDeleteWow, they made a huge difference! Love your big master bath mirror!
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge difference! They look awesome.
ReplyDeleteThey make a great difference!!! I love your Master bedroom bathroom mirror!!

ReplyDeleteHave a blessed weekend!

Those look excellent! Painting and redecorating the bathrooms in my house has been on my to-do list for too long now, and so this inspires me to get my butt in gear! :-) Your chick's bathroom is so cute and girly, too. My girls' bathroom is still quite "babyish" and they aren't really babies anymore, so I bet they'd love something girlier and these frame thingys would be perfect in their bathroom. THanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is great!
ReplyDeleteAs cute as our new home is, we don't have framed mirrors....yet. Thanks to you, we soon will! :-)
I LOVE this, both my bathrooms up stairs have those kinds of mirrors. I'm going to web site and check them out.
ReplyDeleteThey look great! Thanks for sharing.

The mirrors look great...the frames really made a difference!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome!!! We have a giant mirror like yours in our bathroom and I have always wanted to do that, but afraid. I will definetly go check them out! Thanks for this! The bathrooms looks so great with their 'new' mirrors!!
ReplyDeleteFergie is so stinken cute I want to hug her!!! :)
ohh love it!!! my hubby did this for our bathroom a few years ago and I agree that it does make a big difference!! yeah for easy!!
ReplyDeletegreat idea. It made a big difference. And your dog is just precious!
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks great. I love how cozy it makes the bathrooms feel! The pups is soooo cute, just want to snuggle him up!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, enjoy your fam!
Having a linky party, come on over!
That is so great!!!!! Love it.
ReplyDeletewow! what a difference that makes!! I love the change. I'm taking notes!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow. What a difference those frames make. Love it! Can't wait to see what you do with the warped pieces...
ReplyDeleteThey look great!! I have wanted Kelly to make us some too for awhile now. I swear we have too many projects:-)
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference! I just love how easy it looks to do. I'm totally going to have to do this.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those really look fantastic, especially the Master bath. It totally changed the look. And Fergie looks like a perfect "supervisor" of the situation!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend, my friend!

looooooove!! I so wish we were able to make an amazing update like this in our old old OLD bathrooms. Love your handy hubby and love your eye. can't wait to see what you do with the warped ones! xoxoxo happy weekend sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteMy gosh. What a great product. I can't believe how it finished off the rooms. I am going to get one for my downstairs bathroom. It needs a little help...but without a ton of cash!!! Thoroughly enjoy your blog. I love that little dog of yours. What a dear face!
ReplyDeleteCome and visit our blog, if you wish. We are a mom and daughter who make repurposed jewelry, but find that is covered very rarely in our journal. We love bargains, vintage clothing and most all things vintage, paper crafts, fabric crafts, and our two fluffy, sometimes white dogs, Sophie and Harvey.
Right now we are in Croatia for our exchange student son's wedding. Such a special time!

I love a framed mirror and yours look fabulous! What a great product and why didn't I think of it???
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend Becky!
Alison
Ohhhh love it! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI so want this done in my bathroom! We had it in our old house, but for some reason haven't gotten to it! Love how they just complete both your baths!
ReplyDeleteAnother idea/patent I missed out on. Over 25 years ago, my hubby and I used to buy moulding at the lumber yard and make frames around the "builders mirrors" in our homes to customize them !! Story of our life. I used to make chain covers for chandeliers too ~ and now you can buy them at Michaels and Hobby Lobby ...can't tell you all the ideas we have had over the years and never moved forward with them. Dummies we are.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, your bathrooms look great! and your house is so CLEAN and TIDY!! Your carpet looks like it was just installed!!! Do you have the NO SHOES in the house rule too?
And Fergie ... just a real cutie face!!
i love this .. i always thought about buying crown molding to do the same thing now i can have my mom just order one without the cutting on our part !!
ReplyDeletethanks so much for sharing !

LOVE! I was just telling my daughter, Annie she needed to frame hers... who knew there was a company who would. I am sending her their way!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I read a blogger's review on these before and I thought it was a great idea -- and then I forgot all about it :/ I'm glad you reminded me today...now I need to run over and check them out :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Both mirror frames came out gorgeous! You are so very creative and I always get some wonderful ideas from you. I love the look of both bathrooms.......they certainly do look more customed. Did you also make the dream sign? That is beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Farm Girl. Thanks for the link (and discount tip). Our house is only a year old and, same thing, no frames on the mirror. Maybe I'll give it a try. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with that other frame. :)
ReplyDeleteI love framed mirrors- they do give your bathrooms a custom look.
ReplyDeleteyour puppy is the sweetest- what an adorable face.
Wow...it looks great!!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh that saves so much money! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love this! You are so like me in this way....makes me want to go and get to some creative update in my home.
ReplyDeleteHappy, beautiful weekend to you Ms. Becky!
Your Fergie is so cute, looks a bit like my Bo Jangles. Love the change here...awesome!
ReplyDeleteHooray, you posted
ReplyDeleteabout it!!! I floated
the idea by my hubby
and he likes it, so I
need to get on the ball
and "git 'er done!"
Your house is so pretty
and it's these little
touches that make a BIG
impact. Wondering how
the new mirror looks...
and the new color??

ReplyDeleteBig difference! I am blessed to have a husband who is amazing with wood, so he customized ours. Thanks for sharing about the site too. I have lots of friends that would love the referal.
ReplyDeleteGet out of the city. That is so cool! I think I will ask for that for Christmas : ) Cause I want to be as cool as you : )
