Oh happy day lovlies! How was your weekend? Did the sun shine in your parts? We did a little Spring clean touching up, and had a little chilly BBQ and officially celebrated our two happy years of marriage. It was a nice weekend all around. We also snuck in a little project, with little time available- and it had big impact!
Our My closet is rather huge. We have three closets in our master bedroom, and to be honest, it's what sold the house. If you aren't familiar with homes in the northeast, that are over fifty years old, they rarely have adequate closet space. This house had beyond adequate closet space. Sold!
So this nursery-turned-closet had a rather large full length mirror, but it was pretty bland. It needed some....umph. So see what we did about it:
So this is our closet, which I can't complain about. With the exception of that boring mirror, you won't hear a peep of unhappiness out of me. We thought about replacing the whole thing, until we looked into the cost. Eesh. It was mighty expensive to get a custom size, with a frame we liked. We thought we were stuck, until we found Mirror Mate. We checked out the options and found one that fit in exactly with our Neutral-Moroccan-British-Cowboy themed bedroom build. Sold! Look how easy breasy it was to finish:
Read the instructions! Follow the instructions! They are simple to follow, and minus the hour wait time for the glue to dry, you'll be done in less than a half hour, no joke! Joey was super happy how easy the instructions were.
Not only are the instructions brief, the tools are minimal, and easy to use.
The most complicated part was folding these cardboard corners. Can you tell me love Mirror Mate? We are already scoping out where else we can use another one of these bad boys.
Use the tools to connect the corners after you use the wood glue. Those white strips (you'll see what they are for very soon) come pre-attached.
Place it off to the side, and wait an hour. The hardest part. Seriously.
We lined up the mirror, and used a level to see what it would look like.
Place the corners, once you get it perfect, then take the frame away.
Now the fun part! Peel the backing of the strip away. Then stick it on the mirror, keeping it aligned with the corners you previously placed.
This is us impressed how easy and quick the process was.
Ta Da! Isn't she perdy?!

I've been dying for one in cherry chocolate or espresso for the builder grade huge mirror in our master bath! :-)
I also liked them on FB. Although I should have waited to tell you that because number 1 and number 2 never win :-)
I love the Cherokee Slim Licorice - mostly because of the name and modern look. I'd probably use it in my master bathroom!
I'd get the Pemaquid Black to use in our master bathroom--it has one of those enormous, frameless mirrors over the vanity. Bland.
The Cherokee Dark Walnut would look perfect as an upgrade to the boring plain mirror in our master bathroom!
I am in love with the Pemaquid Black frame! It would be gorgeous framing the mirror in our downstairs bathroom.
I "liked" Mirror Mate Frames on Facebook.
I love the Cherokee Cherry Chocolate. I also have over of those extra large bathroom mirrors that I don't want to go through the work of replacing so this is the best solution!
I also 'liked' them on facebook!
Bellemeade Traditional Cherry
I "liked" them on facebook
I like the Chelsea Brushed Bronze. I think it would really help the look of my bathroom!
i like the Chelsea Espresso
I love the Chelsea Brushed Bronze! I would use it in my master bath!
Oooh! This is great! I love the Acadia Dove White frame! And I would use it in our new dressing room that we will be making as we refinish off our basement.
Thanks so much for a chance to win!
xoxo,
Jen
Oooh, I want the Bellameade Vintage Silver! Our master bath mirror desperately needs a frame. Thanks for the chance!
Entry #2: I follow Mirror Mate on Facebook. Thanks!
I would love the exact mirror you have for our master bath!
I need both one for both of my bathrooms! I really love the Tribeca, but the Cherokee would work as well.
I am also a fan of Mirror Mates on Facebook!
I have the "Chelsea Espresso" picked out for all three of our bathrooms! We can't have the frames just yet because of other home renovations, so a $200 prize would go a long way toward renovating the bathrooms too! Awesome contest!
I "like" MirrorMates on Facebook, which is how I found your terrific blog and contest!
I would use the Soho Matte Black or Chelsea Classic White for my master bathroom. I haven't decided which color scheme to go with yet, but getting a mirrormate would be amazing!!
I like Mirrormates on facebook!
I love the Pemaquid Black. I just bought my very first house, amoung the many "updates" I would like to do, the bathroom is first on this list. There is a 48" mirror with no frame on top of olive green countertops and some horrific cheap dark brown cabinets. The new vanity is on it's way and I would love to have a beautiful mirror to set it off!
