Ashley's Shanty Thrifty Find

Hi Friends! I HAVE to blog about the thrifty find I made yesterday! I really don’t like the mirrors in our bathrooms but I have been patient in changing them out because I wanted to replace them with framed mirrors (for a more custom look) and that can be costly!

Well, I said it CAN be costly but as I found out yesterday my patience paid off BIG! I went to Lowe’s to buy some curtain rods when I stumbled upon a rack full of Mirredge mirror trim in several different colors. I stared at the Cherry Walnut for a while and wasn’t sure how it would look but I couldn't leave the store without it so I bought just enough for the boys bathroom upstairs.

These came in sets of two so I bought 2 sets ~ one set for the horizontal trim and one for the vertical trim. I then bought 1 set of 4 corner plates. They cover the seams and add a nice aesthetic touch.

Whitney just happened to be coming over that afternoon (how convenient for me) so she assisted me in this venture. The trim is 59.5” long, so roughly 5’. The instructions say to measure each piece on the mirror, score and then crisply snap the trim to get the right fit. This did not work (circular saw is so much more efficient – learned how to use one with this project). Measure the vertical strips first and then the horizontal. After you cut them down to size there are double-sided adhesive pads that come with the trim – just peel and stick (we put 4 to 5 on each strip).

To see the rest of the project check out my blog at: Ashley's Shanty2Chic

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall...what's the best frame of all??? Mirredge!!!

I just want to thank you for all your help in placing my order for the Dove White mirror frame. I just finished installing it and I have to tell you it looks like a brand new bathroom. I had always been bothered by some discoloration at the bottom of my wall mirror. To hide it I would place objects in front. Now I will make sure I show it off!!!

Assembly was easy and the results are priceless!!! I keep looking at my "new" mirror.If you ever need references feel free to give my number. If you ever hire installers in the Boston area I am available!!! (I'm an early retired teacher looking for another career.)

Thanks again and have a great day!!!

WOW!

April 29, 2009 By pollyesther "I never heard of this product before and when I noticed it in the store I figured why not try it since it was inexpensive. Well I was very surprised to find out how easy it was to install and how nice it made my mirror look!"

Mirredge Product Review on Home Depot.com

"The acrylic mirror strip installation kit is the perfect way to enhance a plain mirror and hide the imperfections that occur around the mirror's edge after years of use. This economical "fix" adds a classy finish with ease of application. Applied easily in a few minutes! I loved the way it transformed a plain, aging mirror into a classy new attraction in my bathroom. I plan on purchasing 2 more kits shortly for my next bathroom I remodel in which I have 2 mirrors that need sprucing up! The acrylic strips score and snap easily and if you follow the instructions completely, you will wind up with a fabulous new mirror! I am 100% satisfied!!!!

Thanks to Mirredge!

Thankyou for the e-mail as we ll as the phone call.

The job is done and looks really very good, I used the acrylic mirror edge since there is no wood tone in that bathroom.. Had to buy many strips since the mirror goes around two walls and is about 7 feet by almost 5 feet !! The product is easy to work with once one gets "the hang' of it !!

The project went fairly fast.I am happy to say that after living in this house for almost 7 years, the bathroom mirror finally looks finished, thanks to MirrEdge.

Sincerely, Linda Williams

Dove White - WOW!

Just to let you know that thanks to your e-mails where you answered my questions about where to find your Dove White Mirredge framing systems and how to measure and cut them correctly, my 3 bathrooms look phenomenal !!!! I was even able to find space savers and toilet paper storage units that matched the design that is on the corners of the mirrors!

You have come up with a great invention that has saved us a great deal of money! Thanks SO much! I have recommended Mirredge to ALL of my friends!

Thanks again for taking the time to answer my e-mails! It made all the difference in the world!

I used Mirredge in my bathroom..

I used MirrEdge in my bathroom on a older mirror that was beginning to show some age damage around the outside. I used the cherry walnut with the contemporary cormers and it looks great. (Purchased at Lowe's)

As a suggestion - you could increase the variety of the uses of the product by just creating different types of corners. While many people today love modern looking decor, we live in the country in Texas and have a more rustic look to our decor. Some corners that incorporate a star, cowboy boot, or some other rustic western theme would open up a whole new market. I had considered trying to glue rope around the mirror to hide the flaws, but realized what a mess I would make with the glue everywhere. Then I found the MirrEdge and decided that would be much simpler. I would have loved to find more variety in the corner selection to more fit the bathroom decor. Otherwise it was easy and made it look much neater.

Thanks for taking the time to listen,

Ellen

Incredibly Easy!

"I just wanted to send you a quick note and let you know how much we appreciate you sending us your Mirr.Edge product and how incredibly easy it was to install. If I was able to install it, anyone can. Thanks again!" Jeremy Hollingsworth, Extreme-How-To-Magazine

Completed mirrors

I wanted to send you a picture of two completed mirrors I did. I not only did the "builders" mirror I also did the medicine cabinet mirror. I still need to do a little paint touch up (I painted it white but will for sure buy the next kit in white already) ...... I think it looks pretty good.

Thanks

Beveled Acrylic Mirror Strips

"We had our basement finished and we have a Retro theme, black, red and white. We searched the internet looking for mirror to put between black half round moulding at chair level, to match our Black Wurlitzer Juke box. When we came across this product we were thrilled. Previously in our search we could only find 1 inch sqaure mirror. This product was so easy to work with and the effect is beautiful. We did the whole bar area and are ordering more, to trim the bar . I would highly recommend using this product. We have gotten so many compliments on it."

How To Apply Acrylic Mirr.Edge to a mirror that has existing mirror clips

The best way to deal with this situation is to unscrew and relocate the plastic or metal mirror clips to within one and a half inches from each corner. Affix the horizontal and vertical Mirr.Edge Acrylic Strips in between the clips using the included double faced tape in each package, in addition to dabs of Mirr.Edge Glue Adhesive or Liquid Nails LN-600 Adhesive (sold separately) next to the double faced tape squares. Affix the Mirr.Edge Corner Plates into the corner areas and ON TOP of the Acrylic Strips in each corner, thereby covering the mirror clips.

In the event the mirror clips are not able to be relocated to the corner areas, you can piece the Acrylic Strips in between the existing clips, and cover the clips with a Mirr.Edge Cover Seam Plate, or a small piece of leftover Mirr.Edge Acrylic Strip, cut to two or three inches long, or as desired. This solution works best with the metal mirror clip, as it is only about an eigth inch thick. If you have the traditional thicker plastic mirror clips, replacing them with a metal clip would work best. These metal mirror clips can usually be found at your local home improvement stores in the mirror and/or hardware department.

Black edges look awful but look what happened...

BEFORE with ugly black edges from desilvering
around the edges...

AFTER - WOW!! Look how beautiful it looks

with the acrylic mirror trim....Just love IT!!!!

To Manager of Home Depot

I am writing to tell you how happy we are with one of your newest products, MirrEdge. We recently moved into our new home in Boynton Beach and were planning to put a new beveled mirror in the master bath area at quite an expense when we happened upon this product in your store. We purchased the product and with no problem were able to install it ourselves.

It has made quite a difference in the appearance of our home and we are very pleased with the results. Thank you for carrying the product and saving us the cost of a new mirror. Now we can spend those extra dollars for something else at Home Depot.

Sincerely,

Edward & Louise
Boynton Beach, FL

Thanks

Dear Mirr.Edge,

Just had to write you to say thank you for a wonderful product! I am in the process of trying to sell my home. Had unsightly black line along the bottom of the mirror that started to travel upward in one of my bathrooms. Using your product was so easy and the results were absolutely beautiful. I was able to purchase your product at Home Depot in Delray Beach, FL where I first saw the product.

Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Andrea M

make your mirror look like new

the 3 foot by 5 foot mirror in my wife's bathroom was discolored along the edges. we planned on replacing it but then we saw an ad on tv about acrylic mirror edge strips. we went on line and found that home depot sold them on line. after reviewing the ad on line we decided to get the ones that matched the mirror. I installed them very easily and they matched perfectly and look great. Seddie from Longmeadow, MA
