honestly, i don't think this is something i'd try myself. call someone!

I agree...a professional would be advised. I think a decorative mirror over a w-w mirror would look fine if done properly.

I think someone on here has done it and posted pics but can't remember who. it looked great. I know they didnt drill into the mirror, which would be risky even for a professional I think.

I think it would be worth it to call a professional. Check out the great pictures at My Notting Hill blog, Mirror over mirror.

You need a special drill bit (ask Hardware Dept/Power tools at Home Depot re which one, and someone who's used it before to do the job.

Thanks everyone! The inspiration photos are just what I had in mind. Now I have to find out how it is done. Perhaps the designers had the mirror drilled by the glass professionals before installation.

Leslyintn -

Saw this on one of the blogs I follow and had to post it, so you could see. She has layered a mirror on top of her wall size mirror, and took a super fat ribbon to the things on the back and hung it all on an old drapery finial above. I thought it was a great idea and easy solution for what you want to do.
Hope this helps you out. I saw another post so when I find it I will post it for you as well.
Good luck, BTW where are you in TN? I live in Hermitage.

I have it in my daughter's bathroom because the mirror installer's assistant ruined the wallpaper, assuming it was a full wall mirror (we were supposed to hang a framed mirror there).

So, they went ahead and installed the full vanity mirror and then I had a smaller beveled mirror cut and installed over the large mirror, centered on the vanity.

I don't know how they did it--it looks much like the photo above, but I would hire a glass installer.

Why dont you just hang the frame minus the mirror it would give you the same effect without the weight.

Kelly- That is a great solution...and something even I could do! BTW I live in Nashville, so we are near each other.
