Give a Tired Bathroom a Facelift

Do you have a bathroom that you want to update?  If your answer is yes, an economical way of giving your bathroom an update is to frame the existing mirror.   Mirror Mate offers a wide variety of frames to choose from.  Exact measurements are the key to your success.  So double check those numbers and the rest is fairly easy.  Once your frames are delivered, installation is your next step.  Follow the directions that are given, it's just that easy.    Here's how easy it was for a recent staging that we did where we put together a small frame and a very large 8 foot one.

The frames came precut and mitered on all four sides.  We added a little wood glue (came in the kit) and then attached some butterfly clips that pulled the frames tightly together.

After gluing them, we set them aside for 1 hour to dry as the instructions say.  Once dry, we did a test fit of the frames on the mirror.  If your frames are screwed to the wall with glass or plastic holders, you can replace them with smaller/thinner holders that also come with the kit.  In our case, the frames were measured to sit right on the counter back splash, so lining them up was a snap.  If this is not your case, the kit comes with some handy corner blocks to help line up the frames perfectly.  After our test fit, we peeled off the sticky back strips and then pressed the mirrors in place.  What a difference!

Along with frames around the mirror another update to the bathroom would be to add a new faucet and lights.  It's amazing what a difference a small investment can make to a room without breaking the bank.  Finish off the room with a nice neutral paint, new shower curtain (white preferred) and some new fluffy towels. 

If your selling your house just think of the equity you are adding to your home.  Home buyers love updated bathrooms, makes their mental to-do list shorter.  Which in today's market puts your property on the top of their list.
