Here is a before pic of the ugly unframed mirror:
I first measured the width and length of the mirror. Then, I went to Lowes and picked out
When I got home I painted the trim and decorative pieces a cream. When dry, I sanded down the edges of the painted trim and then rubbed on some wood stain. I then took another wet cloth and wiped away the excess.
When everything was finally dry, I put the liquid nail on the back of the trim one at a time. I then put it on the mirror. I secured it with clear tape so it wouldn't topple over.
After waiting for about two hours, I took off the tape. The end result is, in my opinion, an excellent mirror makeover.
Now if I could just learn how to clean the mirrors really well ( I always seem to leave streaks for some reason)!
Happy painting, gluing!

Wow, great job! It looks so much more "finished" now. And better than paying $300 for someone else to do it! BTW, I love the bold green walls. I just painted our bathroom green too - it's so fresh!
Stopping over from the Serenity Now link party. :)
Ditto what Amanda from Little House said. It does look so much more finished! You did a wonderful job! :) I use black and white newspapers paired with Windex to ditch the streaks. :) Thanks so much for linking up to my party. I hope you'll stop by Serenity Now again soon. :)
That looks great! Like original to the house.
You did such a great job! Now I want to do that in my main (aka kids) bathroom.

Beautiful!!! Let me say also that you did a great job- what a big difference it makes to the room! I was going to say the same thing as Amanda- when I worked in a flower shop we cleaned the glass shelves with windex and newspaper to avoid streaks. Works really well! Have a super week :)
I was going to do something similar with leftover flooring - loving this option SO much better!
This is so old you may not even read these old posts, but the only way to get no streaks is to use a wet wash cloth to clean the mirror & then a dry cloth/towel & dry the mirror. No Windex etc. needed :)
