and get your hooks done. 14. caulk and repaint your moldings so theylook like new. 15. add vintage shutters to a bookcase. 16. use square molding to frame a mirror (nomiter saw necessary). we made a mirror frame using crown moldingand a little bit of spray paint. it’s not perfect-perfect, but it’s close enough.webought square pieces of molding (sold in the decorative crown molding section) to placein the corner. see? buying guide:when you buy your molding, ask the salesman at the hardware store to cut the molding foryou before you leave the store (they’ll
do this for free). you’ll want to have about1/2 inch of overhand on each side of the mirror (unless it butts up against the countertop,as ours does at the bottom). so, to figure out how long you need the molding to be foreach side, measure the mirror from top to bottom and add an inch (or 1/2 an inch ). subtractthe width of two corner pieces. if your mirror is 60 inches long, and your corner piecesare 3 inches wide, you’ll want to cut the molding to be 60 + 1 – 3 – 3 = 55 inches. 17. or just glue tiles around the border. i went to lowe’s and purchased two sheetsof tumbled marble tiles clearance priced for $7 each.this diy bathroom mirror project was just
getting better and better! when i got themhome, i trimmed the mesh around the tile to make a smooth edge. i also purchased a tube of silicone adhesivethat boasted it could be used for fusing glass together to form a fish tank.another nod in the way of boys and their bathroom habits. i figured, if it could hold togethera fish tank, my diy bathroom mirror could take anything my boys could throw at it. then, i spent the next hour cutting, squeezing,and sticking… the trickiest part was the top. i just useda little painters tape to keep them in place until the adhesive could harden up
not really bad idea for a an hour of work. total cost $18. 18. make a classy gallery wall for $20 orless. shocker. we passed the mirror section – whichi usually ignore – and i spotted these $2 mirrors in frames.there were a few different color options, but black and white is my jam right now, after i got home, i selected some favoriteinstagram photos, and printed them in black and white on regular printer paper.next, i cut the photos out, used mod podge to coat the mirror and secure the picturesin place.
last, i layered each photo with another modpodge on top to seal it. that’s it! 19. hang mirrors on your bifold closet doors.it’s almost like having one big wall-length mirror. 20. 21. use a bookcase as a headboard.really opens up your options as to where you can put your bed. 22. make an easy bar for your balcony outof a piece of countertop and table legs.
this is actually an ikea hack.1) measure and drill gerton legs into the base of the pragel countertop, roughly a 1inch inset from each edge. 2) use the the ekby stodis brackets as a guideto prevent the countertop from sliding forward or backward along your existing patio railing. 3) to prevent the countertop from warpingdue to exposure, galvanized steel strapping was then used to further secure the bottomof the countertop to your patio railing. 23. use quarter-round molding for instant,easy glass shelving. using the measurement you took for the depthof your cabinets, cut 8 lengths of quarter round (four for each glass shelf you are hanging.)more instructions waits you on other site.
