Framing a Mirror with MirrorMate: Giveaway

{Giveaway is Closed}

The winner is #112:  Shari!  Congrats, Shari, you have been emailed!

With all the things to update in this house, it’s been fun to get some help from MirrorMate on my guest bath mirror.  You know how it goes.  Those large plate glass mirrors that are all over the place, with not a lot of personality.  I have framed my own before and they turned out nice, but it’s also great to have a professional frame go up on a mirror too.  It totally transforms the space.

I’ll do another complete post on this bathroom later, but wanted to share the MirrorMate opportunity with all of you now.

I got to choose a frame from MirrorMate and they shipped it to me to install.  And installing a frame from MirrorMate is very easy.  For a large frame, you will need two people to help hold it in place, but the frames go together very easy and fast.

frame from MirrorMate

It comes in a box in 4 pieces.  Once you measure your existing mirror, you send those measurements to MirrorMate, along with your frame choice and they will cut the frame to exactly fit your mirror.  The frame sits on top of the mirror, overlapping just slightly to completely cover the mirror.

putting frame together

Lay out all 4 pieces on a protective rug or cardboard.

add inserts and glue

It comes with glue and corner anchors that go in each corner of the frame to hold it all together.  Notice on the frame above, there is double sided extremely sticky tape that is already on all the pieces of frame.  Once you get ready to put the frame up, there are also cardboard corners that help with setting the mirror in place before the tape is pulled and ready to adhere.

wipe excess glue

Once it’s glued in the corners, simply wipe off excess glue and let it dry well overnight and then it’s ready to put up on your mirror.

My dad came over to help me get it in place, cause with a mirror this big, you really need 2 people to hold it.  Pull off the protective paper from the sticky tape all the way around and simply place it over the mirror.  It’s stuck and will not come off!  There are also protective cardboard corner pieces to help with installation too.

Tribeca Frame

Now you’ve got a beautiful framed mirror.

Yippee!!  MirrorMate is giving away to ONE of my readers a mirror frame of your own.  I’m so happy to be working with them and to get a beautiful frame for my bathroom.  This one is called Tribeca and it’s a gorgeous black finish with small beads of silver all around the inside edge.  Perfect complement to my bathroom.

I’ll show you the whole bathroom soon too!

In the meantime, leave a comment telling me which bathroom you’d love a frame for and which style and color you think you’ll pick?!  Go to MirrorMate to check out all the styles and come back here and leave a comment. 

That’s it!  I’ll choose a winner in a few days.

Note:  I received a free mirror frame from MirrorMate, but was not paid to do this post.

    I am getting ready to “spruce up” my downstairs bathroom. This frame could take it from being an okay bathroom to a fabulous one! I would be extremely thankful to win one.

    My next project is to update our master bathroom. Yes, we have the large PLAN mirror over our double sinks. I would love to update it with one of these frames. I have an offwhite vanity, was thinking about changing the knobs to a pewter bronze and think the Chelsea Pewter Bronze frame would look nice. Ronda do you have any other ideals for an offwhite vanity?

    I would love one for my master bathroom. When we moved here in ’09 we’ve updated the other rooms and ours is the last to do. What you did in your guest looks awesome!

    I’d love to update our Master Bath mirror with one of these. We are finally in a position to do some updates around the house and all of the funds so far have been used on the exterior of the house and “need to be done” things. Not many “want to dos” yet. And since I am the only one who uses the Master Bath, it’s last on the list. Would be a nice gift for me, rather than “the house”. 🙂

    The Lexington Sky Marble would look just lovely in our master bath. I am tied of the builder’s grade mirrors so this will be a great way to add some “awesomeness” to that room. I have been wanting to do that room over for awhile now and this will be the incentive to get me to start going.
    Good luck to all.

    Oh wow! That is amazing! I am luvin’ that Lexington Metallic Ash for our master bath. We’re starting a remodel project this spring and plan on staining our vanity cabinets a dark espresso color. Very, very cool! I’m keeping fingers crossed for myself Ü

    WOW! The Portage Pebble White would be perfect in my powder room! I just took the huge mirror off in my guest bathroom and what a disaster fixing the drywall behind it! I won’t be doing that again! Oh I hope I win, I hope I win!

    Wow! That seems so simple and I really would like to redo 2 unattractive builder mirrors with the Lexington Metallic Ash.

    Very cool! Thanks!

    I just painted my daughters bathroom. It just seems so unfinished….the frame around the mirror would be great. I too like the tribeca black. Thanks for so much inspiration! Beth N.
