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.

    It would be hard to choose one, since several of them caught my eye. I like the metallic ones the best.

    We are going to remodel/update both of our bathrooms next year and we need to do something with our builder grade mirrors. These mirrors look great and would be a simple easy solution. The Cherokee Slim Espresso Walnut and the Waterside Oyster would be perfect!

    I would definitely put this in my master bathroom. We have almost finished with redoing all the tile work and the frame around the mirror would be just enhance it all! I like the Chelsea Pewter Bronze!

    Rhoda, I Love your frame!!!! Looks Great!!! I would choose Lexington Polished Silver for my 1970 guest bath. I’ve been working hard for almost a year on just our bathrooms but right now my funds (for anything) are a big, fat Zero!!!!! This would be huge for that guest bath and then maybe I can find some oops paint at Home Depot to paint the existing vanity. Please, Please, Please pick me!!!!!! I need this just as much as my mirrow does 🙂

    There are many tutorials online that show you how to do this yourself with molding. I tried it, but I’m not handy with tools. A pre-made kit like this is exactly what I need! I would use it our hall bath and I would choose white.

    The Tribeca would be lovely in our master bath and go well with the black and white check marble floor tiles.

    I’m torn between the Acadia Oiled Bronze and the Gramercy Chardonnay. I would use either one in my master bathroom.

    Wow… I am on a committee that is “freshening” our parsonage…what a major impact that would have in the main bath-both baths for that matter! I would chose the Lexington ash.
    Merry Christmas!

    I have always wanted a framed mirrir! We are probably in our last home and my husband not being a handy man is not interested in diy. We have one of the builders mirrors and a frame would add so much to our room. I just need it! I love the one you chose.
