If you really love the look maybe you would have more success mounting the tiles on a strip of wood moulding first...personally I think a wood trim cut like a picture frame would be easier and look more like a framed mirror...a visit to a framing store where they can cut the corners perfectly ...as well as offer many beautiful framing options might be worth considering as well

Thanks Ritasj! My first plan was to buy crown molding from Home Depot and do a wood frame, but I don't have a miter saw. This was plan B. Now I'm thinking that when I do the clear caulk that may help to give the illusion of a straight line, and perhaps I can fill in any gaps where the tiles shifted.

Lauren, you can also call any local glass & mirror place who make laminated glass, they make nice laminated frames around existing mirrors using etched glass or any other type of a design you like and it's very inexpensive.

Good luck

I just did this same project and if you go by my example, grouting it will only emphasize the mistake. If the bottom row is the only place with this problem, then chances are pretty good that very few people will notice. If it bothers you, why not put a pretty vase or something with some height and volume to camoflage it?

What are you using to adhere the tiles to the mirror? I used Liquid Nails for glass and it was great and secure in 1 hour. For the top of the mirror I did smaller sections and held them in place with painters tape while they dried. The results are great and everyone compliments how cool the mirror is.

maybe Im missing somethimg but wouldnt it be simpler to just remove the glads mirror and hang a framed mirrow you bought at a store?

Thank you for the comments! Adreenie, I'd love to see a photo of your project! I used Goop clear all-purpose, with notes that it works on glass; and once I saw them sliding I did the painters tape method as well :-)

I agree that grout will probably call attention to any spaces between the tiles, and love the idea of just adding a tall vase to cover that area; most likely no one will notice.

I'm pretty sure if I tried to remove the mirror it would damage the wall behind it. If it ends up looking terrible when I am finished, I may just go ahead and do the moulding route over the tiles - just need to find someone with a miter saw ;-)

Here's pics of how mine turned out - the first pic is closer to the true color of the walls, the other 2 look too green. Pardon the dirty mirror and step stool in the background. This bathroom has a beachy feel to it so the seaglass and tumbled travertine combination works really well in there. Our house was a new build and the mirrors were all glued to the wall as well as have the clips up top "just in case". If we had tried to take this mirror down we would have done major damage. I look forward to seeing how your project turns out!

Adreenie that looks great! Here is how mine turned out. It's not perfect, which bugs me, as you can see the ends did not line up exactly, on the right side. I did buy a glass cutting tool and am going to see if I can pop off those end tiles and cut them. I would need to cut tiles to do the sides since the top slid down a bit; but I kind of like how it looks without the sides for now. All depends on how successful I am at cutting the tiles :-)

Perhaps you can find something at the tile store or elsewhere to cover up the corners decoratively

Ritasj that's a great idea! Maybe some square tiles to go on each corner and even it out. Brilliant!

What do y'all think of leaving the sides undone? Does it look strange to you?

Grouting will definitely hide the mirror showing between tiles. Your clear bead of silicone on the inside will not really hide the crooked line but if done well, you may get a little cleaner looking edge. I think you will find getting a nice clean bead of silicone is not trivial. I would mask off the mirror with painters tape along with the tile surface along your planned silicone bead. Just use enough silicone to fill the space. Almost certainly you will need to run a wet finger along the freshly placed silicone to smooth it over. Good luck, and hopefully you have a good result with your project.

It kind of does look unfinished like this..but I think the sides should be a different tile shape...do they make a tiny square mosaic in the same material?

At this stage the tile trim feels sort of unfinished to me..like it needs a little something more?

Not just on the sides

I have removed these types of mirrors in many homes. Sometimes you have to sand and paint some wall area but thats pretty easy (probably less work than tiling the existing one) and having a professional framed mirror up there is well worth

My husband and I framed a similar mirror using cedar pence pickets. Simple straight cuts and cheap....$15 for 3 pickets.
