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 love MirrorMate! I would love to put the Chelsea black satin in my guest bath. It would look perfect with my other black accents and my red and yellow decor. I love reading your posts and can’t wait for the reveal of your bath.

    I would love to do my guest bath (which is also the one I have to use)! I would choose the Cherokee Slim Licorice. Getting ready in the mornings would then be so sweet.

    I would like the Tribeca Burnished Brown, but there are so
    many pretty ones to choose from! Both of my bathrooms mirrors need to be framed. We also bought a 1980’s home that needs so much updating. You have inspired me so much!!!

    I love the grandezza bronze and I would use it in my son’s house. He is redecorating his starter home on a limited budget and I have been doing some projects to help him. The room that he is currently working in is his master bath so this would be a wonderful addition!

    I have seen Mirror Mate in Southern Living Magazine and thought what a wonderful idea. Our home is 14 years old and in need of some serious updating. I would love to use the Providence Oil Bronze in our master bath. Just discovered your blog and I’m hooked!! Thank you for the inspiration 🙂

    I would use Chelsea Pewter Bronze for the master bath mirror. It is in need of a redo!

    I’d love to frame the mirror in my girls’ bathroom. I really like the Waterside collection. I can’t decide if I’d use the Pearl, Oyster or Seafoam. Your mirror turned out GREAT!!

    The huge mirrors in my 70’s master bath. Probably choose Cherokee slim licorice.

    This is such a great idea! It looks simple enough for even those of us who love ideas. but are “decoratively challenged!” I am slowly but budget mindedly trying to update my master bath. I would choose the Broadway.

    I have a 1960’s house and all the bathrooms have the plate glass mirrors. ANYTHING from Mirror Mate would definitely be an improvement. Love following your home re-do, it is beautiful.

    Oh wow…very hard to choose. This is such a great idea for making a HUGE difference in the bathroom. I would definitely use this in our guest bathroom…but then that would lead to probably painting the vanity and doing something with the faucets and new hardware and…and…and. Isn’t this fun!!!

    Would love these in our master bath. We currently have oval mirrors that are plain ol’ blah! I think these would add a pop of pizzazz! 🙂

    I would put Chelsea Classic White in the master bathroom. I am amazed at how well it dresses up those plain builder mirrors. So pretty!
