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?!

The Pemaquid Black this is just the item I need to update an oversized mirror in my bathroom that has no personality. I would so love to showcase a quality framed mirror in my home~~ As well, I have "liked" Mirror Mates on Facebook! ! !
What an awesome site! I have a plain-jane mirror in my master bath that is in desperate need of some TLC. Mirror Mate's "Chelsea Classic White" would be a perfect fit!
I would really Love to win one of these.... these are soooo awesome! i stumbled upon your blog through cuttingedgestencils and loved your makeover in the gallery section! and ever since i have been cheking your blog every single day :) lots of inspiration for me thanks alot great job!

I like the Acadia Oiled Bronze. I so need this on my master bath. Thanks for a great giveaway.

I would get the Bellemeade Vintage Silver and I would use it in our master bathroom.
I like Mirror Mate on FB.
I love the Tribeca Black.
I'd use it in my bedroom! Thanks for hosting!
I love the Bellemeade Vintage Silver frame. That would be so pretty in my master bath & vanity. And it needs a facelift!
I liked the Mirror Mates fb page too. :-) Thanks for the chances to win!!
I really love the Chelsea Classic White. So pretty!
Very impressive job! I love the Bellemeade Vintage Silver Frame!
I followed Mirror Mate Frames on facebook (Mary Arnold)
I'm thinking the Chelsea brushed bronze would be nice, but I typically pore over things for TOO LONG, so I could definitely change my mind. We'd use it in our master bath for sure. Right now it's just a huge hunk of mirror.
I would choose Bellemeade in Vintage Silver or Traditional Cherry for our bathroom mirror which is quite blah.
I follow/like them on Facebook.
I would pick the Soho Black Matte frame for a large mirror in my bedroom. I recently realized that I don't have a single full-length mirror in my house! And standing on my bathroom counter crouched over is getting old really fast!

I would love the Tribeca Black to put over our bathroom vanity
I love the cherokee dark walnut, and it would be awesome in our master bath!
I love this, I must to have it, pretty please! I love the bellemeade vintage silver. I would use it in my master bathroom, I adore Mirrormate for inventing this :)
I looove the look of the Casco Bay White frame and think it would spice up our horribly boring builder's grade master bathroom. We dream of removing the blah mirror and giving it a country-fied replacement, but like everything else, that costs time + $$.
love the venetian silver wave! I'd put it in my spare bathroom!! it needs an update!
Oh, this mirror is just glorious! By the way, you both have such lovely eyes.
