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 master/guest bathroom. I have been wanting to fix up the mirror since the rest of the room looks great but the mirror is pretty shabby. I would go for the Acadia oiled bronze.

    I would frame the mirror in our master bath. I would choose Bellemeade Traditional Cherry. After that, I would frame our spare bath mirror. This is so cool.

    I love these frames! My master bath sure could use a facelift and a mirror frame would be such a nice touch. I would choose the Chelsea Classic White. Rhoda, I hope you have a blessed Christmas in your beautiful new home! Thanks for taking us all on your journey home!

    Rhoda – I love your new Mirrormate mirror in your guest bath. So very pretty! Thanks also for the chance to win one. I have always admired the Waterside Pearl for my master bath. Keeping my fingers crossed….

    I have two bathrooms with those ugly builder grade mirrors. My master bathroom would look so much prettier with the Providence Oiled Bronze mirror frame.

    I would love the Chelsea Classic White in my downstairs guest bathroom. It’s a large bathroom with a large plain mirror.

    OH! I never have seen these before. These frames would be great in my bathroom connecting to our master bedroom. After looking through the many choices I would have to pick Arcadia Dove White. It would brighten that bathroom right up!!!

    Rhoda, your new home is gorgeous and then some! Always admire the Mirrormate mirrors. I’m eyeing the Portage Moonlight Silver. Thanks so much and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    I like the Bellemeade Traditional Cherry for our guest bath. I love this concept….why do builders use the ugly plate glass mirrors in the first place?? Love traveling with you on your journey to turn that fixer-upper into a real home. Merry Christmas!!

    My daughter wants to re vamp her bathroom and I thought about doing this to her mirror so this would be great to win! She probably would go with the Tribeca Burnished brown. Merry Christmas!

    We just finished some small DIY’S on our guest bath, but the mirror is still the 1979 builder model. The Mirrormate would be great. Thank you for this chance to win.

    I have not one, but two of these mirrors in two different bathrooms and would be thrilled with one of these frames! My favorite is the Lexington Sky Marble!

    The Acadia in white would be awesome in my upstairs bathroom. We have a mirror that needs something exactly like this!!! Best idea for a company! Some of us aren’t that handy to do our own from scratch!!
