Default Framing bathroom mirror

Thinking about adding a frame, of some type, to dress up the master bathroom mirror.

Any DYI out there who have done this, or anyone who can recommend a company? Thanks.

My wife used Entrypoint by Perry's, 352-751-0883
She highly recommends them.

You can google and find several companies who sell frames that can be easily attached to the mirror. But, I have never done it.

Check out MirrorMate.com.

This is exactly what you are asking about, as a DIY project.

It is a relatively simple DIY...that being said we used Entrypoint to do all our bathroom mirrors.....top notch quality and service.

Depends how much one wants to complement or contrast....whatever pleases the beholder is always good.

Unless you have the proper equipment the frame will look DIY (from someone who made 1000's of picture frames). Use Perry's like I did. They use specially cut moulding that does not have a rabbet so it lays flat on the mirror. Yes, I would match the mirror to the vanity.

So did I do it myself. It is not hard. If you don't have a saw that does 45 degree corners, take very specific measurements to Home Depot and then glue it up yourself. It not hard and probably cheaper.

Picture #3 shows the mirror frame really well. Looks great!
