Tile Mirror Upgrade

This is my bathroom mirror, well my old bathroom mirror.  I have never really liked it.  It came as a matched set with the vanity that was purchased when the bathroom was remodeled.  It got hung up because it was what was around.  Ever since then I have looked for something to replace it.  I have tried a couple of other mirrors over the years and none of them worked.  Some were too big, some too small.


I finally decided to stop looking for something new, and instead to work with what I had.  Here is what I started with.


Before I made anything permanent with glue, I laid out the tile to see how it would fit.  I turned the tiles and worked with them until I could get everything to fit without cutting.  I decided to add a
 little detail on each of the four corners.


A thin bead of construction adhesive held the tile in place.


After a few hours drying time it was ready to re-hang.


A great upgrade that didn't cost a thing!


Have you been working with what you have?  Or upgrading anything that has been bothering you lately?

Memo Mirror

I originally purchased this mirror for $15, and loved the chalky white finish, and swirly lines.  I have had it for some time now, and couldn't decide where it should live. I finally decided to hang it in my craft/guest room.

Magazine Style

As I was clicking through the September/ October issue of Lonny magazine, I noticed this room designed by Lisa Sherry.  This gorgeous mirror specially caught my eye, because I have the same one!  I wonder if she bought it for $59.99 at Homegoods like I did.

The Look for Less: Mirrors

A classic design inspired by a Moorish window, the Weathered Zinc Fez Mirror from Restoration Hardware is gorgeous.   However with a price tag of $678.99 (on sale), I certainly won't be bringing it home any time soon...sigh.

You are in luck though, because if you like this style, the look can be achieved for much less with the allen+roth Quatrefoil Cloche Octagon Mirror from Lowes.  Same classic lines for $600 less, and with a can of spray paint, this mirror would be a really close match.
