Hi all!
I finally got around to framing the bathroom mirror! Total Cost $53.00!!!
How'd you do it? SIMPLE!
1.) I took measurements of the mirror.
2.) I went to my local hardware store and found trim that I wanted. I chose a pine smooth trim because I wanted a modern feel and I also wanted to stain the wood like I did the cabinets.
I bought the trim and "liquid nails" for a total of $53.00 and I have a whole bottle of the liquid nail left.
3.) I cut the wood to the length I wanted then saw ed the 45 degree angles. (sweat equity for me b/c I used a hand saw). I would suggest to lay it out and mark the angles before you actually cut them. (I almost goofed).
4.) I then stained the trim to what I previously stained my cabinets too. (see other post for which products I used.) I also put on a urethane over the stain.
5.) I made sure everything lined up then I went upstairs and used "liquid nails" to put the frame onto my existing mirror!
IT WAS THAT EASY! Now I have to change lights, floor, and paint...
