Since we bought our home four years ago, I have always disliked the stock construction mirrors that were in my Master bath. The size of them was great for the bath but the unfinished quality kept eating away at me to do something.
So I did.
I went to the local Lowe’s and purchased the moldings to fit the size of the mirror. I also bought the square block corner moldings to make the corners easier to construct with mitering the corners. Because the light switches are so close to the mirror covering the ends was not an option unless I had a electrician do some major rerouting. I thought my best and cheapest option was for me to glue the moldings to the mirror itself.
First I cut and painted the moldings, making sure to paint the back side as well because the reflection off the mirror will show all the underside faults. Gluing up all the moldings was not difficult but getting them straight and taping them in place to keep them straight till they set, was almost comical.
Hopefully all the errors will not be greatly noticed and the more finished look to my bathroom is aesthetically pleasing for me. All in all I would say it was not that difficult, except for the cutting exactly to measurement, and with another person helping to hold moldings in place. I would say this is a fairly straight forward minor change and easily doable from anyone to try.
