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.

    Rhoda how wonderful. Plus I really need this. Both of my baths have the very plain plate glass mirrors.

    I would choose for my Powder Room the Venetian Silver Wave; gorgeous!

    We remodeled our main bath in 2007 and I still haven’t covered our frameless giant mirror. This looks so easy. I think I like Tribeca Burnished Brown & Silver.

    I’d love to do my kids’/guest bath(when I have visitors)! I love the portage pebble white! It would be such a nice and quick update! They have a double vanity with this huge mirror! If I win, it would kick me into gear to redo/update their bath. 1987, need I say more! I also have 2 more of these kinds of mirrors in the aster bathroom that could stand some updating too!

    I’d love the Pemaquid Slim Old World in Silver. We have a very basic master bathroom that could use some freshening up and this would be a perfect start!

    Oh gosh . . . how would you ever choose? So many to pick from! However, my Master Bath need a total re-do and at this point if I were picking a frame I’d go with the Chelsea Brushed Bronze; I think it would match my existing cabinet wood. Thanks Rhoda for the opportunity! Your mirror looks fantastic!

    I love the Tribeca but my cabinets are white – since I am not a decorator I’m not sure which direction would work best for my Master bath. I just painted it a beautiful pale blue/green/silver color (the light makes it look different every time I walk in there) and changed out my light fixtures to brushed nickel. Now to tackle the mirror. I did not know these mirror frames even existed. So thanks so much for sharing – I love your blog. You’ve done a wonderful job with your new home. Merry Christmas!
