Lindsey is a girl who has a great big boring mirror in her bathroom and would like to do something about it. Someday. Eventually. (hint: me) Another girl named Lindsay (but with an A) also had a great big boring mirror in her bathroom, and actually DID something about it. (not me. dangit.)
But I love this look! I’m pretty sure this is a project I could handle, and I’ve almost talked myself into it a few times. But then I remember it involves a bunch of measuring and angles and mathy stuff. Stuff that makes my brain wither up. Wither up into little uncooperative raisin. A raisin that is also crying. Um … sorry I’m not more of a motivational blogger. Look, pictures!

January 18, 2012 at 11:34 PMawesome! I did something similar to my bathroom mirror at my old place… well, my dad cut it and I supervised. I love the crown moulding look of this one!

January 19, 2012 at 3:07 AMYes, yes that is indeed a LOVELY job she did there. I agree, when it involves, measuring and mathy numbers I just throw my hands up and say…let someone else do it. However, I will say this. Her mirror is so fantastically gorgeous now, the cabinets are a sad sad thing. Perhaps those are next on her list to tackle. Just sayin.

January 19, 2012 at 3:12 AMYou can do this one for sure! It doesn’t use angles at all! Straight cuts and you’re good to go. I wish that I had done it this way. It is beautiful!

January 19, 2012 at 3:20 AMYou know, my whole house has wonderful trim work and crown molding. Everywhere. Places I don’t really want it. But I have a mirror like this before photo – big and plain. In fact I have two like that. I think I need to put the man in charge of making stuff on to a mirror re-do. Your’s looks fantastic.

January 19, 2012 at 8:56 AMWow, it looks amazing. So different. I have a wood framed bathroom mirror and vanity and have been debating whether to paint it white. Your’s looks awesome! Will you paint the wood on the vanity as well? x J

January 19, 2012 at 12:17 PMHey, thanks for all your sweet comments, I really appreciate your input! Now about my cabinets, they will be on our list, if we end up staying in this home. There is a big possibility that we may be relocating for my husbands job.

January 19, 2012 at 10:25 PMAwesome! I have a great big plain mirror like that too! (I guess it’s an Arizona builders thing) Maybe I’ll check into dressing mine up.

January 26, 2012 at 7:44 AMI don’t think the cabinets are bad! (And I am quite picky when it comes to cabinets) they obviously aren’t my favorite.. but they look fine to me! And the cost of replacing them….. love the mirror
