Mirror, Mirror On My Bathroom Wall...

We all have or have had the dreadfully massive sheet of mirror glass in our bathroom. There is a clever way to change that! Framing the mirror without glue or nails, You can use the good ole' VELCRO!

For around $40 and a couple of hours of your time, your mirror can be transformed and add to your beautifully decorated bathroom without having to hire someone to make an expensive custom frame for you!




It is so easy and simple that you will want to frame every mirror you have and your neighbors too boot! LOL! You could have a lot of friends before this is over! ;) You will want to buy the square rosettes (see photos below for reference), so you don't have to do a lot of angle cutting. You can also cut angles or have someone cut the angles for you, if you don't like the rosette idea. But, by using the rosettes you can make a straight cut. Your local Home Depot or Lowe's will cut the straight cuts for you for free! Just take your measurements with you and ask for someone to help you in the lumber area.







If you are wondering how well Velcro will stick on a bathroom mirror, you will be pleasantly surprised! It will hold up for a very long time, even with the steam...GUARANTEED! :D

Make sure to purchase the Velcro with the sticky backs.

Keep the two sides of Velcro together and stick one side to your trim. Then peel off the paper and press your trim to the mirror.

Working your way around the mirror, until all the sides are done...

And there you have it. Your very own custom framed mirror that little ole' you made yourself!

Screaming Meme's Tips For Redecorating On A Budget....



When it comes to redecorating a room, fabric is the quickest and easiest way to achieve a new look....For a simple pick-me-up in the living room, add a few comfy new pillows.... Use a bold pattern you love, a splash of your favorite color....or both.



Another way to go is to create a calming monochromatic look using texture for visual interest. Start by choosing a rich fabric...nubby, tweedy chenille or plush velvet are great to work with...then add some depth with accessories...you might introduce contrast with woven wicker or rattan...or more glamour with shimmery silks or satins.


Whatever your style is, you'll find that one of the easiest ways to tie the room together is by repeating the upholstery or pillow fabric at the windows....


Before you discard a piece of furniture, ask yourself whether it could be painted, covered or used in a different way...


Painting still has to be the most powerful and inexpensive way to get a new look...

Hang a sign inside...An old ad sign or one your make yourself can give a fun, fresh look to your space...


Outside chairs...Don't overlook an old wicker chair or aged garden seat...try it in a room for a fresh and different look...


Sideboards...Treat your sideboard as a restaurant would....showing off your silverware, china and fresh fruit as the basis of an ever-changing display which you can add to and take away from regularly.


Spread candles throughout your home to give it a cozy feel. Scented candles also make for a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere....


Spice up kitchens by hanging pots on the wall.... This will free up cabinets and also give the room a new decorative touch....


A small room can be made to feel larger by painting large stripes or daring colors on the walls....


Decorating with white is a good way to avoid color decisions.... white is soothing color, too.... Be sure to add different textures....and ground the room with black or brown to keep the room anchored....
