Before and After Bathroom. What to do with Mirror?

Caroline Merrill

Before is the yellow walls. I painted cabinets and walls grey. I had a large mirror and not sure what to do with it? I could paint it white? Or do something totally different. Suggestions? I need something to go on that wall. Thanks!

Nice job. Frame the mirror over the sink and add a nice large piece of colorful art where the extra mirror was and a rug in front of the shower picking up color from the art. Move the extra mirror to another room.

I agree with @woodteam5 as well. You update looks very nice, did you buy new cabinets or paint them?

You might consider painting the far wall (the one that had the framed mirror) and then adding a piece of art. The mirror over the sink could be updated with a J-bracket to hold it in place instead of the clips. It looks like it might have some chips in the backing. So I'd replace it. Or, I like to take glass tiles, use a strong adhesive, and glue them around the edge of the mirror as a frame. This might also hide the paint chips. Looks great so far!

Destination, I like your idea of gluing glass tiles around the edge of a mirror to update it. I'll have to keep that in mind.
