Updating A Builder Grade Mirror The Easy Way

Now it’s time to get to work. I started by using the glue they provided to coat the corners of the frame.

Next insert the dovetail pins into the joints.

TIP: If you can’t press them in you can use a hammer to gently tap them into place

Once the frame was assembled I used a clean, dry rag to wipe off any excess glue.

This was the hardest part… waiting an hour for the glue to set before putting up my new frame!

After the longest hour of my life it was finally time to put up our fancy new frame! Start by dry fitting the frame to the mirror & getting the placement exactly how you want it. Then attach the provided corner guides to the top corners under the frame.

Once the corner guides are in place remove the sticky backing to the two sided tape located on the back of the frame.

Finally it’s time to install the frame! Use the corner guides to ensure the placement of your new frame is correct & press the frame into place. I gently applied pressure around the entire frame to make sure all the tape was secure on the mirror.

Can y’all even believe this is the same boring builder grade mirror as before?! I think this is my fastest & easiest transformation yet!

I am in deep love with the color & shiny finish of this frame. It completely elevated the entire bathroom.

I think it accents our new chrome fixtures really well too!

We still have a little bit more to do until this bathroom renovation is complete but we are officially one gigantic step closer. Here’s hoping the rest of this project goes as smoothly as this mirror upgrade!
