Mirror, Mirror On My Bathroom Wall...

We all have or have had the dreadfully massive sheet of mirror glass in our bathroom. There is a clever way to change that! Framing the mirror without glue or nails, You can use the good ole' VELCRO!

For around $40 and a couple of hours of your time, your mirror can be transformed and add to your beautifully decorated bathroom without having to hire someone to make an expensive custom frame for you!




It is so easy and simple that you will want to frame every mirror you have and your neighbors too boot! LOL! You could have a lot of friends before this is over! ;) You will want to buy the square rosettes (see photos below for reference), so you don't have to do a lot of angle cutting. You can also cut angles or have someone cut the angles for you, if you don't like the rosette idea. But, by using the rosettes you can make a straight cut. Your local Home Depot or Lowe's will cut the straight cuts for you for free! Just take your measurements with you and ask for someone to help you in the lumber area.







If you are wondering how well Velcro will stick on a bathroom mirror, you will be pleasantly surprised! It will hold up for a very long time, even with the steam...GUARANTEED! :D

Make sure to purchase the Velcro with the sticky backs.

Keep the two sides of Velcro together and stick one side to your trim. Then peel off the paper and press your trim to the mirror.

Working your way around the mirror, until all the sides are done...

And there you have it. Your very own custom framed mirror that little ole' you made yourself!

Are You A Concoct~er?

Definition...

Concoct: To invent, make up, contrive



Yes, I am a concocter...Is that a word? Concocter...I have always had a vivid imagination. That also goes for concocting decor and furnishings in my home...I bought that old mantel about 3 years ago...I didn't really know what I was going to do with it...I just thought it SCREAMED Meme...I love anything black and white...I drug her home, dusted her off and tried her in every area of my home...I sadly had to tuck her away and forgot about her for a while...




Until one day, I was at Kirkland's Home and found that mirror you see hanging in the middle of the mantel...It was on clearance for 75% off...I got it for $50.00! I thought to myself...How cute would this be with that mantel! And then my wheels started turning...I thought it reminded me of an Old Time~y Saloon in the wild west.... I drug that mirror home...I knew without measuring, that it would fit...I am good when it comes to eyeballing...

{Eyeballing...that is a weird word...There goes my imagination, again...Sometimes I think I would be rich, if Hollywood could get in this funny, little mind...It is a mystical place...And quite comical, I must say...;)}

Yes, it fit...So, now I had to find a side board or dresser to sit my new "concoction" on...It had to be bar height to make bar tending easy...You would of thought I would of started with the sideboard and then the mantel and lastly, the mirror...No, Screaming Meme is a bit dyslexic...lol But, it is working for me...so, why worry?

{Not to change the subject, again...;) But I sometimes forget that I am dyslexic...I was strolling along at Lowe's the other day...And I saw John Deere Mowers...I subconsciously read "John Deere" on the mower...I was still strolling along in my own little world and started thinking about the new movie, Dear John...I thought, "Why did that come to my mind?" and I giggled to myself...I read Deere John...Oh, my funny, little brain ;)}

I was working on a model home and had to find a few more pieces before I turned her over to the builders...I walked into a high end rustic furniture shop and there was "THE" rustic Texas style sideboard...Sitting quietly tucked away, like some forgotten treasure...It was perfect for my game room bar, I thought...I had to put her on layaway...And pay her out...

There she is... the "Old Saloon" Bar in our game room...She is so happy sitting there on display...She gets dressed up for the holidays...And when we have guests over, we bring out the "adult beverages" that hide in the cabinets...Yes, she is versatile...I plan on adding glass shelves and a light at the top for when I want to light her up and show her off...I think she is pretty as she is now...It could easily be a hutch in a rustic dining room...A sink could be plopped in the middle of the cabinet and she could be the center of attention in any bathroom or fancy outhouse ;)...The possibilities are endless, when you use your imagination to "CONCOCT"...What can YOU concoct today?
