Mirror, Mirror On The Wall...

So I found this post on pinterest that I LOVED about tiling a bathroom mirror.  It really caught my attention because it's hard to find something that really works with our bathroom countertops.  But to see the original post click here.  So I went to Lowe's and got the tile and the bonding glue stuff. 

I got these tile sheets (you'll need two of them) for $9 each at Lowe's.

You have to cut the tiles apart and trim them so that the white stuff on the back isn't sticking out.

Thankfully, I was watching my niece and nephew today and got some free labor out of the deal :)

Next, take your glue, I got this stuff at Lowe's for around $4 for a double pack, I used one full tube.



Apply to the mirror edges and to the tiles, according to the directions on the package.  This kind has to sit for 5-10 mins before you put them together. 


The website only said you have to tape the top row, well, since my mirror does not rest on the counter, I taped it all, if I hadn't the tiles would have shifted before they could dry completly.  I have to wait 24-48 hours before removing the tape.  More photos to come!!

Master Bath Part2

Well, after painting the bathroom last night, we got up this morning and reevaluated our to-do list.  First things first, we decided to keep the standard light fixture, at least for now ($100 saved).  Next, we are going to push doing the flooring back to next Sunday, that way my mom (who did her entire house on her own) can help us.  We also decided to wait until next Sunday to get the new fixtures for the towel racks and all that stuff.  So, what is left to do?  Well, thanks to my amazing husband, he put the old fixtures back up and went ahead and installed the new shower curtain rod (thanks to an awesome neighbor for letting us use their drill!).

Excuse the flooring samples, we were trying to decide on which direction we wanted to lay it next weekend.  But, that's the "finished product" after the new shower curtain rod got installed.





Not too shabby for some first time DIYers! More to come!!
