.: bathroom recipe #2 :.

About 2 weeks ago, my mom asked me to decorate our bathroom downstairs. We hardly use this bathroom. Over the years it has turned into a storage/dog's bathroom so we never thought about decorating it. Of course I agreed to help her out, and she gave me a very tight budget to work with. I'm always up for a design challenge! :)

While at Lowe's to pick out a paint color, I came across Mirr.Edge, a mirror framing system product. I was immediately intrigued! Basically, it is a system of mirror acrylic OR woodgrain finished polymer strips and corner plates that you can very easily apply around the perimeter of your mirror. It completely transforms your existing mirror into a new one, and the best part of it all is that it's CHEAP. I got 2 packs of the beveled acrylic mirror strips and 1 pack of the mirror corner plates for around $38.

Look below for a before and after pic. A perfect sweet concoction recipe! :)
