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.

    When we moved into our newly-constructed home, framing mirrors was just beginning to be in style. I asked to have the mirror framed in the bathroom, but the worker said they could not do a complete frame. So, I’ve been living with a 3-sided framed mirror (no panel on the bottom next to backsplash). A new, 4-sided frame from MirrorMate would sure be an improvement! 🙂

    Love the Grandezza in aged silver! Would love to have the mirrors framed in my master bath–it would bring that bath out of the 90s.
    Thanks for the opportunity!

    That is awesome and a great way to re-use vs replace.

    I would pick waterside in pearl for my masterbath.

    I am planning on redoing my master bath – hopefully this coming year. A pemaquid river rock or pemaquid white would be a great addition to our makeover! Thank you and thank MirrorMate.

    My downstairs bathroom is so outdated! From the psychedelic reflective wallpaper to the seriously lacking vanity! I would choose the Grandezza Aged Silver to bring it more up to date and add some class!

    We have already painted, changed out fixtures, and put down new flooring in our guest bathroom. A mirror frame would be a great finishing touch! I would choose Venetian Silver Wave because I think it would look great in my remodeled guest bathroom.
