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.

    Pemaquid Slim Dark Cherry. This one would work in our master bath so well! Love this company and a frame makes a huge difference to a large mirror.
    Thanks, MirrorMate!

    I love the Naples antique silver. I’ve been meaning to do for a few years. Our little guest bath could use it. Now you’ve pushed me a little! Thanks for all your hard work on your blog. I love reading it.

    I like the new Waterside Oyster – so pretty! I added MirrorMate’s blog to my favorites after the last time you did a mirror update using them. I really like their blog (and yours!) – full of great ideas. My master math still has flowered wallpaper from the 80’s (!) so a mirror update would be just the push I need. Thanks so much for the giveaway offer!

    I *just* downsized and Mirror Mate is on my list of future projects! I have ONE bathroom and a frame around my mirror is going to take it from 1960 to NOW. 🙂

    Love the results I’ve been seeing throughout blogland from Mirror Mate! I would put one in our main restroom (the one our company uses), and since we’ve been going with an oil rubbed bronze look, I might choose the Acadia Oiled Bronze, or maybe (if too much bronze were just too much), the Lexington Metallic Ash. 🙂

    We have two bathrooms with plain mirrors. The champagne color is so classic! What an ingenious idea!

    Cherokee Chocolate Cherry for my master bathroom (to start)… we have three bathrooms in our house (built in the early 80s) that all have those ginormous builder-basic mirrors and nothing has ever been done to them. Framing them out would be so perfect!

    I have two guest baths that are in desperate need of Mirror Mate. I would choose Lexington Metallic Ash, so many lovely choices to choose from.
    Great giveaway~ Thanks!

    Merry Christmas!
