Double wide mirrors are incredibly useful in bathrooms with dual sinks or a wide vanity cabinet.They are generally wide enough to accommodate a toothbrush holder or other bathroom counter accessories. Mirrors with shelves give you an extra surface to keep items that are used daily, like perfume and toiletries.Pivot mirrors can be gently moved vertically or horizontally to reveal different angles, allowing you to see different views of yourself or your outfit as necessary.Backlit mirrors come with built-in LED lighting which creates a soft and natural glow, perfect for applying makeup.While basic mirrors act as a simple reflective surface, others come with extra features that increase their utility. Some feature thick wooden frames while others have modern metal settings. Bath mirrors are available in traditional rectangular designs or unique rounded styles. If you have a sufficient amount of cabinets and wall shelves to handle your bathroom storage, a basic bathroom mirror is all you'll need. Choose from a variety of great mirrors and bathroom mirror cabinets built to coordinate with any bathroom decor. In a basic powder room, a simple mirror may suffice, but in the main bath, you may prefer a mirror or cabinet with extra features like storage. It is usually centered over the bathroom sink and lit by overhead sconce lighting or twin lights on either side. I think it made a fabulous difference in the bathroom! I can’t wait to add some other projects to tie the room together.Beautiful Bathroom Mirrors and Bathroom Mirror CabinetsĪ good mirror is a must-have in any well-functioning bathroom. To finish, I used a matte spray sealer to protect the paint on the frame, and then attached it to the medicine cabinet using sticky back velcro. I did let each color dry before moving on to the next. I then drybrushed (how-to here) the frame with 3 different FolkArt colors: Clover, Italian Sage and, finally, Parchment. I made sure to paint the back of the frame as it most likely will be reflected in the mirror. I basecoated the frame with primer first, and then added 2 coats of Thicket FolkArt acrylic paint. Once all of the clay pieces were cool (I waited until the next day), I glued them in place on my frame with E-6000, letting the glue dry overnight. The thickness of your clay pieces can also determine the baking time.

Follow the baking directions for the brand of clay that you are using as each might be slightly different. Tip: work on wax paper so that you can keep your table surface and your clay clean.Īfter I had all my flowers, petals and leaves (it took 2oz of clay to make everything you see), I put all the shapes on a piece of parchment paper and baked the clay on a oven safe dish. I flattened out the log shape to form the leaf and used a stylus to add in the veins. For the leaves, I started with a small log shape that I tapered on each end. I also made some individual petals for filler. I put the 4 petals together, points in, molded the rounded edges slightly to give them a curve, and added a 5th ball in the center that I pushed flat to hold the petals together. I found the idea for adding the flowers at Addicted 2 Decorating and give her credit for her fabulous tutorial and project! I started each flower with 4 balls of white Sculpey clay, flattening each ball out with my finger and pulling out on one side to form a petal. Now I couldn’t just leave the wood plain, so I decided to make some clay flowers and leaves to adorn the corners.

Pete used wood glue and nails to hold it together so that it would be stronger. Instead, I purchased a piece of molding from Home Depot and my fabulous friend, Pete made me a frame! I chose molding that had a lip on the back so that it would wrap around and hide the silver, metallic edge of the mirror. The medicine cabinet is not a standard size, so I was not able to buy a pre-made frame to use.

After getting permission from our landlord, I decided to add a frame to the cabinet to dress it up. We live in a rental apartment so there was no replacing the boring medicine cabinet we have.

I only got to one of the projects but will be working on a couple others for April that I will share with you. I was inspired this month to work on adding some fun elements to our bathroom by Jen at IHeart Organizing.
