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’d love to fix up our master bath – we have this huge mirror that I’d like to make into two smaller mirrors and frame them both!!! We have those honey oak cabinets in our house – I’d like to upgrade them, but that won’t be anytime soon.

    I would love to redo my outdated master bathroom and this looks like a perfect solution to my BIG mirror! I love the Acadia Dove White frame available at Mirror Mate! I also love your blog! Thanks for this opportunity!

    TRIBECA …. what a punch of interest to my calm and subtly bright guest bathroom. Thanks for introducing me to Mirrormate! So many possibilities – such an easy update!

    Wow! I love this idea. Our master bath has a huge ugly mirror and (I’m embarrassed to say) a 4 foot long Hollywood light. Needless to say it’s on my to do redo list.
    I love the Chelsea brushed bronze. I could make a fantastic bth using that.

    This is an AWESOME product – and from what you showed, not complicated! I need so much help in my house and could do all of my bathrooms, but the one that is probably most in dire need of help is my guest bathroom upstairs. It is so neglected! I’d probably choose the Gramercy Martini or the Tribeca Burnished Brown and Silver… I’m off to measure my mirrors!

    Tribeca burnished brown and silver for our new bathroom mirror, please. Very, very nice. Maybe now I can finally get it changed!

    I have always admired the Acadia Dove White for my master bathroom. I DIY’d a frame several years ago but it looks awful compared to MirrorMate!

    We are re-doing our downstairs guest bathroom since it was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. The only thing that survived in the bathroom is the ugly frameless mirror – which we are going to keep. It would be much nicer and match the new bathroom better with a Chelsa White frame. Thanks so much!

    I have been thinking I needed a frame for the guest room bath mirror for years. The Pemaquid Porcelain in white would be perfect!

    What a great product! I don’t care which bathroom, both would look great with the Grandezza aged silver.

    I would use mirror mate just like yours. We recently painted our master bathroom a soft gray and a frame like yours would look great.

    Thanks for this opportunity. I would want one for my daughter. My mirrors are framed or just regular mirrors hung on the walls. I would let her choose, but I think she would choose Grandezza Aged Silver. I love the one you chose and look forward to seeing your guest bath. I’ve enjoyed taking this house journey with you!

    Merry Christmas in your new home!

    I’ve been working on our hall bath like forevah. Would love to finish it with it by framing the current bugly mirror with Naples Silver.
