  • I found the perfect mirror but it was too expensive so I built the frame myself and put it on my current mirror. This is part 3 of my bathroom makeover, and one of my favorite projects even though I had some set backs :)

    Hi Tiff, it looked like you were putting more pressure on the back of your hand stapler when the staples came out wonky, and when you put more pressure on the front keeping it parallel to your surface they seemed to come out better. Maybe do it more intentionelly next time and see if it makes it better 🤔

    Welcome to the world of picture framing!
    So what you need to join your moulding is a Cassese underpinner.
    I used to work at a custom frame shop.
    You did good for what you had.
    I think your problem was that the paint you put on after you spray painted it darkened it too much.
    Next time, try the paint diluted with half water.

    Just caught up on this series, been great to watch! I suggest swapping out the cabinet knob to a matte black that matches the faucet for a more cohesive look as well. If you get a black tension shower rod as well, when the curtain is drawn it will hide the silver shower fixtures and look pretty good.

    1) Velcro pads would work very well to secure that mirror frame! And the bonus would be you could change it out whenever you felt like it. 2) You just need another very light coat of gold over the antiqueing and the color should be perfect. The brown paint you used had too much red in it. (And now I see you did this! \o/ ) 3) I would have made the frame a bit wider.

    It's looking really good. The mirror turned out really pretty, sorry you had to go through so many tries to get it perfect. Rub n' buff, may have been an option for antiquing, I've seen others use it with good results. Question - why didn't you inset a medicine cabinet for extra storage? May have been able to find one close to the cost of the mirror, just curious.
    The countertop looks really good, works so well with the sink & love the cabinet color.

    • @diytiff
      @diytiff  4 місяці тому +1

      Thank you! I’m not a big fan of medicine cabinets. I think they are bulky but there might be some inset modern ones out there. My goal was not removing the mirror it’s glued to the wall 🙃

They're made for giant man-hands, not girls like us. When i built my screened in porch, I did some research into the easiest to use/depress, the Stanley TR150 is the way to go! I have 5) 5ft tall windows, thats a lot of damn staples! Best purchase ever. Looking forward to the next video, the frame turned out great!

    I am glad the glass part of the mirror didn't give you any trouble, last thing you and Toni need is 15 years of bad luck. That bug though scared the heck out of me too (normally I'm not too scared of bugs but when I see something Ive never seen before or something that looks like a smaller breed of insect but it's 10 times larger I freak.) it also reminded me of an old cancelled series back in the 90's where there was this parasite that looked like a mosquito of steroids and the size of a dragon fly. and these and one stung this kid in the neck. the plot never made much sense hence I never got into it but when That insect thing was on screen it was scary...and this was on Nickelodeon of all places! I do agree that an extra coat did help with the frame at the end when you first added it to the mirror it looked more brown but that extra coat helped a lot.
