Framed Mirrors Made From Molding

Recently our home projects have been centered in the dining room where we are putting up grass cloth wall paper. The dining room project has been ongoing for a few months, but I don’t mind a long project at all. I’m not quite sure I could makeover a room much quicker than that, plus it gives me time to be secure in what I decide to do to the space.

My taste changes every 3 months I tell you. Does yours? Because of this I try to take my time and let a space evolve as it will.

Before we started the wall paper last weekend, our previous project in there had been putting up window film.

Of course while we do these major parts like windows and walls I’ve been tackling some of the side projects like art for the walls. We have a set of pocket doors that open to the living room right next door and I wanted to hang some mirrors on the walls above the plate rail on either side of the doorway.

With some beveled mirrors from the craft store and one long piece of molding from the Habitat store, I came up with these.

At first because of the way the molding piece was I planned to make the same mirror for each side but realized I wouldn’t have enough molding for that so I made two from the reverse cut of the molding. I’ll explain more in a how to, but here is one up close, notice how the shape of the molding goes, with the curves on the outside and flat part on the inside.
