We had these scrap 1x2's that we were not using. And since I hate the awful builder mirrors in our bathroom I needed a fix. I did not want to buy new ones, although that would have been great. And the chance of finding two matching mirrors at Goodwill is pretty much non-existent.
So I fixed it! I took these mirrors (pretend you see two):
And turned them into this:
Then use epoxy to attach to the mirror. I used Gorilla Epoxy.
Apply very professionally with a grilling skewer. Make sure to get your camera strap in there.
Then tape it down to hold it secure for a little while. You know, 2.2 seconds. Or 12 hours. Whatev.

Nicely done - we did something similar in our own home and can't wait to do it again!
ReplyDeleteKirsty, these are great! I love that you make all your projects look so easy! I found that not to be so on most of mine, but isn't it fun! (I also adore your boy quotes!) Sherry
ReplyDeleteI have one of those huge wall mirrors in both of our bathrooms, and I'm itching to take them down and put pretty twin mirrors up there. You've inspired me! Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteNice job. Way to dress up a boring mirror. I need to do this in both my bathrooms. I never would have thought of the Gorilla so thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Love the transformation! You took it from ugly to uber sleek! Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
