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 just purchased a house which was built circa 1950, there’s a very nice brick fire place in the living room/den but there’s this flat mirror above the mantel. I would love one of the Mirror Mate frames. It would make a world of difference in the room that we spend the most time in!

    I need a frame for my master bathroom – hope to work on that bathroom this next year so a Mirror Mate frame would be perfect for it! 🙂

    Yours looks pretty, Rhoda! Like that finish.

    Per maquis River Rock from Mirror Mate would look amazing in our master bath up in our cabin in Blue Ridge. We bought this two years ago and I am trying to be frugal about putting our own touch on what the previous owners did. My husband would be thrilled if I was able to win this context! You are truly inspiring me to try my hand at a few projects I would have been scared to try before. Merry Christmas! Michele Dambach

    I would love the SoHo in black for my main bathroom. I live in a home built in 1963 the main bathroom (my daughters) was the pink and grey combo popular of this era I have put a new white vaninty and white fixtures however the floor is still the gray/pink/white ceramic tiles. I do believe the black SoHo frame would give the mirror a nice pop.

    Oh boy could my 20+ year old bath use an update like this. Why in the world did we ever think a big ole slab of mirror was the greatest thing. Gotta love the 80’s.

    Oh I’ve been wanting to use MirrorMate in our hall bath (kids and guest bath) for a while. If I won I would prefer the Pemaquid River Rock. Fingers crossed….that would be one home project checked off the 2013 wish list!

    I would choose the Permaquid Slim Old World Silver for my master bath, and would need two since our vanities are seperate. I’ve wanted to try this for a long time!

    I am selling my house next year and the Pemaquid Porcelain White frame would look sooooo nice, and add value to my main bathroom. I’ve never heard of these frames previously – thank you for the information and for a chance to win!
