I've had my contractor build molding around existing plate glass mirrors and it always comes out so nice. If you have a really wide mirror, you can frame it out and put another piece of molding down the center vertically to give an illusion of 2 mirrors. Comes out great too. I love all do. Your completed work puts a smile on my face.

This makes the perimeter of my mirror is uneven. Do you have any suggestions on how to make this work?

I thought you looked great and sounded great....didn't notice anything strange about your lips either! lol You did a great job framing out that mirror. We had that problem in our last house but the mirror was much bigger. It looked like something out of a public bathroom. Wwe eventually took it down and went with a ready made white cabinet with mirror(wood). Great tip about painting the inside lip of the wood frame. I did the same thing on a mirror I picked up at a garage sale and had to take it apart when I noticed the reflection. Great job girl!~Hugs, PattiCrystal Rose Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04427893770103768637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030833295025317219.post-12903077866415229402011-08-31T14:24:38.364-04:002011-08-31T14:24:38.364-04:00This looks SO great, Missy!
