My bathroom facelift project is creeping along at a snail's pace...sorry about that! If you missed Phase 1, you can find it here.
Phase 2 consisted of building a frame for the mirror, and replacing the ugly (and crooked) racetrack light fixture!
There was absolutely nothing wrong with our builder-grade bathroom mirror. Not much that can be wrong with a big flat mirror glued to the wall--unless you count the "glued to the wall" part, which I do. I "googled" how-to-remove-a-mirror-glued-to-the-wall, and it really didn't look like a DIY-type project, unless I was interested in 1,294 years of bad luck! (I'm not!)
So the alternative was to embrace the glue concept, and build a frame which I could GLUE to the mirror! Oh boy!
I purchased two different pieces of molding to construct my mirror frame. The first piece was a plain rectangular board, and the second was a chair rail. Placed together, they made a nice wide frame.
I cut all the pieces to size, then used Liquid Nails to adhere the molding to the mirror. I used my thirteen-year-old daughter...and some Frog Tape...to hold the molding in place while the glue dried.
My cutting isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, and the boards aren't perfectly flat. So there are gaps to be filled, and I used a caulk on the little cracks, and wood filler on the big ones.
Next I replaced the "racetrack" style light fixture. I never noticed it was installed crooked until I painted the stripes! I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a new fixture; I found one that was nice enough for around $50.
Here's what the light box looked like after I removed the old fixture. There are three wires: white, black, and ground (usually copper colored).
Match up your wires and twist the ends together. Then you screw on the handy-dandy little plastic wire nuts.
Your new fixture will come with a mounting plate that screws on to your light box; there are usually no new holes to drill. Bolt your fixture to the mounting plate, and you're done!
I haven't yet replaced the towel or toilet paper holders because....well, I'm cheap. I haven't been in the mood to spend $30 (minimum) to replace something that is really still OK. Hopefully I'll either a.) win the lottery, or b.) find a great sale!
I have been meaning to do this kind of a frame around my bathroom mirror. Thanks for showing your finished product. Plus, once you put up a new light fixture, isn't it amazing how easy it is? I no longer have to nag my husband to do it for me! Yay!
I love this. I really need to change the same light fixture that you have, but it works fine...one of these days!
I love it! It looks amazing! It's so elegant. :) Hm... I think the cabinet looks fine if you don't paint it, but that it would also look really cute painted light brown or cream to match the wall. I love window shopping at Home Depot and Lowe's in the light fixture section a lot. Always have. Hahaha. And choosing new towel and toilet paper holder fixtures will be so fun after you win the lottery! xD
Looks great! I've been wondering about adding a frame to the builder's mirrors in our bathrooms... Thanks for showing that it can be done!
Saturday, January 17, 2009 I officially became an adult (riiiiiight lol). it probably wasn’t my most exciting birthday because most of my day was filled with a HUGE gymnastics meet, but luckily I landed my double backflip on floor and won, which made for a good birthday!! haha. After the meet my friend Tab and I were supposed to go to the casino and waste some money at the penny slots (that’s about all we can afford lol) but being the smart cookie she is, she forgot her license….so that killed that plan. However, some of my racing friends came and watched my meet, so afterwards i just hung out with them which is always a good time =]. But anyways, just wanted to let everybody know how cool I am now that i’m a big bad adult!! check back for the update tomorrow after I hang out with school friends for birthday stuff!!! =]

"What a wonderful book! As a writer on and practitioner of thankfulness, this is the first time I've ever seen something to make gratitude visible. I can't wait to make everything in here." --MJ Ryan, author of Attitudes of Gratitude
"If you do an online search for books about gratitude, you will find that not only are there lots of them but that are very similar. That is why I really like this gem of a book. Not only does it focus on special kinds of gratitude for different occasions but also on how to create keepsakes to remind us about being thankful for everything in our life. For that I am most grateful." --Allen Klein, author of You Can�t Ruin My Day
"Inspiring and empowering, Crafting Gratitude will help you take your thanksgiving to a new, fun, and meaningful level." --Spirituality and Practice Magazine
We live in a fast-paced, demanding world. Even if we are aware of the importance of tapping into our gratitude, we can easily be seduced by society�s siren calls of consumerism and envy. It�s hard to stay grateful in this kind of environment, but Crafting Gratitude can help us to remember the incredible, overflowing, abundant richness of life.
