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.

    The Mirror Mate would definately do wonders for my Hall bathroom. It’s the bathroom that family and guests use. My home was built in 1976 and believe me it came with the absolute basics which includes the mirror over the sink that is just a plate of mirror….boring!!!. I do believe the Pacifica in Silver Sheen would be my choice since the light over the sink is silver and this particular frame isn’t overly ornate as my home is just a little old ranch!!
    I’ve got my fingers crossed that I’ll be the lucky winner.
    Happy Holiday,
    Kathi

    I have been meaning to frame out the mirror in my master bath, and a professional frame would look so much nicer! I would probably pick the Chelsey, or something simple like that because my bathroom is very small and an ornate frame would look silly

    I just added framing my bathroom mirrors to my to-do list and your post popped up into my reader! WOW! I would choose the cherokee espresso walnut frame for both mirrors in my master bath. They would look great! I would love to win one of them!

    That looks great! I need to frame my powder room mirror. I’m not near as handy as you are, but it looks like a project I could handle.
    I think I would choose Bellemeade Vintage Silver

    I would love to get the Lexington Metallic Ash…it would look fantastic in my master bath. The only problem I might have is on the right side of my mirror there is an electrical outlet. I wonder if they would have a way to work around that?

    And Merry Christmas!

    Pacifica White Cap is what my main bathroom is calling out for. I didn’t know about Mirror Mate!
    I have a large mirror over the bathtub that is just ugly on its best day. Framing it out in a beautiful white frame like Pacifica White Cap will take that space from ugly to beautiful.
    Thank you for all the wonderful suggestions.

    I need to re-do our main bathroom and framing the mirror would be a good start. I love the Acaida Dove White!

    Oh, yes, my master bath definitely needs one of these. I like the Pemaquid – still deciding on the color.

    I LOVE the Tribeca Black that you used but for my guest bath I would need something in silver. There were several that would work.

    Rhoda, What a wonderful time to have discovered your blog. We recently moved into a new home(for us) after living in our previous home for 36 years. We have spent the past several months putting our own touch on our new home to make feel like it’s ours. Our job hasn’t been nearly as HUGE as yours has been…but a job non the less. The Mirrormate framing would be a great improvement for our master bathroom and I think that the Chelsea Brushed Bronze would look great in there!
    Continued Blessings n your new home!

    This is a great idea. I have been wondering what to do with my big ugly mirror. Like the Bellemeade Vintage Champagne.
