    I too framed my much needed, out dated 80's mirros in my 3 bathrooms. Made a huge difference like your parent's. FYI TIP: to make the frame flush against the mirror where the clips and hardware is holding the mirror against the wall, I just used my dremel tool to carve out a little area on the back of the frame where the clips and screws were. Measure the tiny little sections, sand it down with the dremel and it will lay flush. Sounds intimatiting but it was super easy and quick.

      AWESOME Debidewdrop! I was wondering if she did anything about those clips....those darn clips are the reason I've been putting off framing my mirror - that's a great tip so thank you so much!! will be doing it soon 🙂

      @@kaypollard5140 It's super easy. Just mark out the back of the frame where the clips, screws, etc are attached to the mirror and wall. Should be small in size. Put the sanding attachment on the dremel tool and just sand out the marked notches. Does not take long and then the frame will sit flush against the mirror. I hope I explained the process well enough and didn't confuse you.

    The bathroom looks great! You are such a good daughter!
    I have a little tip for you.
    If you have another situation where you have to fill in a gap, do this:
    Tape on the edge of each side of the space you need to fill . Caulk, and do your smoothing.
    You will be left with a straight bead of caulk, without residue on either side of your line, when you remove the tape. 😉

    I must've missed something: how did you end up accommodating those mirror clips? did you drill out spaces inside the trim to allow the trim to sit flatly?

    I learnt a cool trick, which you might find interesting too Lauren :)
    If you're calking in a hard place (angle) use a wet craft paint brush, put some on it and then use it to "paint" in the spot. Looks so good afterwards.

    You are an inspiration!
    Get into rehabbing. Seems you have the knowledge, interest, & tools for it.
    If you can live in a place that has good bones but really needs updates such as paint, flooring, cleaning, etc. you can really make good money on a resale.
    I started with a mobile home I bought for $500.00 and yes it was a filthy disaster.
    Three years later I sold it for $5,500.00 (Did most the work myself.)
    Bought another one at $2,700.00, not quite as bad. Sold it for $4,500.00
    Next was one scheduled for demolition I bought for $1.00. One dollar.
    I turned $5,000.00 on it a few years later!
    Then I went into serious business -- a house. $45,000, sold for $85,000.
    Consider!

    @vzeimen 2 года назад +2

    The previous owners of our house put trim similar to this on all of our plate glass mirrors in the bathrooms but they painted the trim silver. Now the silver is peeling off and looks horrible. Seeing you using liquid nails makes me afraid to try to remove the trim on our mirrors, in case they did the same thing. I'm wondering if I should just sand them in place and paint them. The caulking is a great idea to finish it nicely. My wheels are turning now. Also I've been on the fence about what color to do but our door frames etc are all white so white will work well for me too.

    @f.w.5097 11 месяцев назад +1

    1. Do not apply adhesive so close to the inside of the mirror.
    2. Paint the trim on all sides before you put it up. The bathroom is a very moist environment and you don’t want to have any warping as a result of an unsealed side.
