How to Decorate a Bathroom Mirror

Looking for a way to add some personality to your boring bathroom mirror? Read on for a simple project idea that can be done in a day, won't cost a lot of money, and can completely transform the look of your bathroom.

Things You'll Need

• Wood trim/molding
• Miter saw
• Paint or stain
• Sandpaper
• Embellishments
• Glue or velcro strips

Instructions

1. 

   Measure your mirror, length x width. You will need two pieces of molding the size of the length and two pieces of molding the size of the width.

2. 

   Buy molding from a hardware store like Home Depot or Lowes. I prefer fluted molding but a flat style can also work. Think about the overall look you're going for.

3. 

   Cut the molding to the proper lengths and miter the ends.

4. 

   Lightly sand the molding and either paint or stain it. Be creative with your colors and finishes. I like to sand the edges of the molding after painting it for a shabby chic look.

5. 

   Either glue the four pieces of molding onto the mirror using a carpenter's adhesive or use velcro for a less permanent option. Make sure the pieces fit together snugly at the four corners to lessen the gaps.

6. 

   Keep as is or use embellishments for a funkier look. Scour the craft store for ideas (silk flowers for a girl's bathroom, wooden sports balls for a boy's bathroom are a couple of examples). Adhere to the molding with velcro or glue.
