Hey guys! Just thought I’d show you what I’ve been working on!
I’ve been working on my master bathroom this week. So far, I have painted the walls a pretty green color to match a waverly fabric that I picked out for my master bedroom
and framed my gigantic mirror! Here is the before….
I originally had a thin frame around it but I wanted a new chunkier look.
I bought three 1×4 pre-primed MDF boards at 8′ (they were about $5 each at Home Depot).
I used my compound miter to cut the 45 degree angles (you can also do this with a miter box and a hand saw)
and spray painted them with 2 coats of black gloss.
See that lovely? Yah, the electrician apparently installed the outlet too far in and they had to cut a hole out of the mirror for it. I wish I had asked that the builder fix this before we moved in but you live and learn;)
I had to get creative because I was TIRED of looking at the mess up:) I used my router to cut two holes out for the socket
and I found this wooden face plate at Wal-Mart for $2! I just spray painted it with the same black gloss.
My final step was to get it up there so I used Liquid Nails and applied it directly to the mirror. LOVE the new look and it was only $15!
I feel like I got a lot of bang for my buck on this project and it was so easy and quick! I can’t wait to get started on the rest of the mirrors in my house but I guess I need to finish this room first! I’ll be back with updates soon!
