Tip for spraying screws: use a cardboard box with screws poked into the box and then spay the tops of the screws.
Yup yup. I use that or a piece of styrofoam. 😊
Great tip!!
smart👍🏾
Also, you can spray a small amount into a puddle and just dip the screw heads.
Great tip
Now take the mirror off the wall to paint around it.
As a beginner home DYI person, I truly appreciate this video. Very well described and explained. Thank you!
This is great -- but the before and after photos at 6:00 are not just the "mirror frame." New faucet, new hardware, new light fixture, and new hand-towel holder, too. ;)
Looks great, my only concern is how would you remove the mirror if it ever cracks or for any other reason.
Thank you!! Most diy projects I found they didn’t have the plastic piece on their mirror, you helped a lot!
My setup is just like his so this video is spot on for me without a lot of complex details. Thanks for the straightforward video!
Definitely dont use liquid nails... horrible horrible suggestions. This guy must stood there forever holding that. Had to scrape all that crap off and use an adhesive that drys much faster
No sealant on the wood? In a bathroom? Needs some poly over the surface. To keep the rustic look you can use a flat sheen which is better than nothing, but a higher sheen would be best.
Next time when painting screws grab an old cardboard box and push half of the screws through the cardboard. Now you will have no trouble painting screw heads.
Finally a tutorial that told me how to measure. I am terrible at math and doubt myself often, even on simply math things that I know are easy. No other video said to measure and then add an inch. I will be making this frame this weekend. THANK YOU
Would love to see your finished project/ mirror! My husband went and bought lumber for our two mirrors this morning.
So....You'll NEVER be able to remove the mirror now? You used a metal washer that contacts the glass? You have a huge gap behind the wood and didn't dado the back of the frame so the wood could sit against the wall?
Sorry, but this installation as a whole is not good!
Lol there are tons of questions about that 😆. That should definitely should have been mentioned in the video
what made you pick pressure treated for this? That stain might not look as good as all that moisture works its way out of the wood over time.
This is great, and exactly what I'm going to copy on my own ugly builder-grade mirrors. Thank you!!!
I am so glad I found this video! I knew I was in the right place from the beginning bc I have the same mirror with the same things holding it onto the wall that you had in the beginning with the same color and texture wall! I don't have those lights though (but I wish I did). And, we are currently trying to figure out how to frame the mirror (although that is not how I stumbled across your video). I LOVE how this turned out! This is exactly to my taste and my liking. And I REALLY appreciate all those little tips you gave (stopping up the drain, don't spray your wedding ring, etc.) ESPECIALLY the "don't put too much glue on it bc it will reflect in the mirror" bc that is something I would totally do. Thanks so much! LOVE this video!!!
Usually, it is release the clips and take the mirror out. But, given the clips will be gone after you put these beautiful frames, how are we going to remove the mirror, should there be a need to do so. Thanks once again for the video. It is very helpful indeed, and of course, the frames are aesthetically very pleasing. I am contemplating to do something similar.
Suggestion.. you might want to use double braces so you don't have to glue the bottom board. I.e. if you later wanted to replace the countertop, you might want to just pop off the bottom board for access rather than having to pry the bottom board off the mirror.
Great idea. Thanks for the comment.
Do you not have to cock or fill the gap between the mirror and the wood? You mentioned the glue does not show if you go down low enough but is there not then an opening between the glass and the wood?
This is precisely what I was looking for. Great job. How has the frame held up nearly a year later?
This was so helpful; just cut and installed my own mirror frame.
Tip * use pine board instead of pressure treated wood. Better for home if you have kids
Nice job. Would you do a video on how to frame a mirrored medicine cabinet.🌾🍂🍁🎃
Do you end up with a gap between the frame and the wall? Did you put caulking to fill the gap?
Love it! Exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want to spend $150 for a new mirror!
Exactly... all mirrors are the same .. it's the frames that make the diff.
I love how clear you explain this process. Did you seal your stained wood?
Wow! This is amazing. Thank you. Very beautiful work. I love your extra tip about the wedding ring! 😂 Great additional tips. You did a gear job on your bathroom pieces!
I have a lot of respect for your honesty in this video. Very helpful! Thanks for the great content!
I got to the point where I stained my wood with varathane stain and poly but the wood is bowed. When I went to glue it, the sides were not touching the mirror. I wonder if it bowed while drying or if it was already like that but I don’t know if/how to salvage the wood and finish my project.
We are in exact same spot. What did you end up doing? Scrapping it & starting again? We have two boards already glued on before realizing just how bowed they are & aren’t connecting right.
Why wouldn’t you put the brackets on the other side of the frame so they can’t be seen?
The point is for them to be seen.
This looks fantastic! So glad I subscribed. Will definitely be doing this for my cozy, little bathroom.
Do you have to seal the board with poly for water moisture?
Well, in the required tool list you forgot to mention the miter saw :)
Good catch. If anyone needs one, this is a great mitre saw: amzn.to/3ZHSakb.
Plus new sink faucet, vanity hardware, + nice touch
Looks great! Personally I would have taken the mirror off the wall, moved up 1-2 inches and made a notch out in wood for the width of the mirror and mirror clips. May be able to get away with no glue then, and wood frame is flush to wall. To avoid bloching of stain (some areas darker than others) can use a pre-stain conditioner.
Great comment. Good ideas for next time.
There's many ways to make this project more complex, but the need doesnt call for it.... for a quick non weight bearing frame that's just for looks... this more than does the job.
Love the way it turned out! Great job and thanks for the tips 👍🏽
Thanks for this! Right to the point, very detailed and easy to follow 👍
Anyone else think of halsy when he was talking about catching the mirror if it falls? No? Just me? Okay.
Man seriously....
Using washers to hang the mirror! and sticking the frame to the glass adding an extra weight, will you call it a good work?
Plus, screwed corner brasses on the front!! You just screwed it
How do you take the mirror off the wall now? For like painting behind it, etc?
Where would I get a Miter Saw? that would make this project expensive. Home Depot doesn't help with that part.
Never heard of an industrial farmhouse lol. Looks great though!
Lol I thought the same thing
First class video: no music, no subtitles, no fast forward
great video he doesnt ramble on talking the whole time, just the facts and instructions..i like that
Does anyone know the measurements of the wood? It’s the exact length I need. Thanks
This is a good quick idea. I just finished mine and it does change the room. I followed everything he did except the liquid nail. I built the frame completely then used 3M sticky so that it was so permanent. The imperfections in the wood make it so only use 220 grit sandpaper. When you do the brekets before gluing it's easy to work with.
Oh yeah and I'm in Canada. It costed almost $45 no big deal
really nice finished product, especially with the rest of the room. That'll be an absolute pig to ever take down though - I would have looked at a different mechanism for holding your mirror. Perhaps a couple of z brackets painted black (to match) with enough clearance to get a screwdriver to them in the future.
Just break the mirror
The one thing I don't quite understand is that, isn't there a small gap between the frame and the wall since it's sitting on the mirror and overlapping or how did you get it flush with the wall without cutting a groove in to account for the thickness of the mirror?
now ...how do you get the mirror of the wall if the screws are behind the frame?
FYI
Don’t cake the paint and stain on like in this video and wear some rubber gloves.
0:29 Grab your marking pencil, not your stabbing pencil.
nice clear instruction but i think its horrible that you glued over the screws that secure this to the wall. i pity the person removing this mirror off the wall later. good luck getting a screwdriver or something to unscrew from the wall.
Thank you so much for thisvideo...You directions are so clear and understandable...love it
congratulations on 100,000 veiws
Would you recomend putting a clear coat since its in the bathroom and humidity will maybe wet the stain again etc?
what size lock washers did you use? you didn't mention that.
For some reason I thought the metal brackets would look better on the back where it's unseen. 🤔
So how do you take the mirror off the wall? Is it just me or is this looking good but otherwise stupid?
Thank you for making this video. Your explanation very detail help first timer Diy-er go thro step by step😍😍😍
Does this mean you can't remove the mirror since the frame covers the nails on the wall?
Only downside I see to this is you'll likely ruin the mirror attempting to remove it
How did you keep from screwing into the mirror ?
Do the screws thatre going into the brackets actually go through the mirror itself or just the wall?
Just into the wood. Maybe 1/4” or 1/2” at most
Congrats, you ain't never getting that mirror off of that wall now.
That's what I was thinking. How is he ever going to remove it without ripping the frame off and breaking so many things? Doesn't make sense.
So the wood is entirely on the mirror, correct? And you add an inch to all four sides?
Thanks for this video! Do you think I could put the flat corner braces on the back of the frame for a “cleaner” look?
Yes the braces were cosmetic so putting them in the back would work.
You’re right a simple mirror frame makes the whole thing different …..
And the new paint
New vanity light
New vanity top
New vanity bottom/ faces
New faucet
New towel bars
Isn’t it funny a bathroom looks different after a remodel…?😂
It’s really a nice idea. Did you drill the screws into the wall or just the wood?
Did you watch the video?
@@JenOween I did watch and installed the mirror frame in my house
Nice and simple. We like. Is "Kona" the darkest stain you found? What did you seal the seems with, if anything?
Great video! I will give this a try. Question, won’t the screw head and washer give it a bump to where the wood will no longer be flat against the mirror?
Using the same glue to attach the mirror to the wall would bypass the need for the screw and washer. I'm with you, there has to be a bump and that would jack up my project.
@@davestockton5340 I was thinking the same thing. Glue it is.
I'm just starting this project and got the standard plastic hangers, and then I thought the same thing...the boards won't be flat against the mirror. I don't want to glue the mirror to the wall, so I'm going to chisel out a small recess on the boards to accommodate each bracket, they will lay flush against the mirror that way.
Great and easy video to follow. I have a mirror like yours, but I noticed yours appears to be sitting on the backsplash of the counter. My sits in the metal sleeve that came with the mirror. The other edges are held with the same tabs. My question is... The metal sleeve is not flush with the mirror. If I remove the sleeve I do not know what would hold the mirror. Any suggestions?
We followed this and our new mirror frame is great. Your best tip was the fuze it. We did 2 L brackets on each corner (at outside and inside edges) which added strength. We also put small wood blocks on the backsplash to evenly space and support it until we were sure it was secure. Thank you for posting this… very helpful!!!
What if someone wants to remove the mirror in the future? What about the back of the mirror? What about the gap between the wood and the mirror? How is that ever going to be cleaned? It's actually really sad that this video is so popular. That mirror is never coming off that wall without a big mess and lots of things getting destroyed.
Great job! I want to figure a way to do this and still be able to get at hardware to remove it if needed 👍
Do u think it will look good painting vanity bathroom the same color as the mirror frame like yours? My wall colors will be Dark storm cloud and the towel rack will be matte black and also shelves with matte balack pipes will be avobe toilet. Curtain rod is the same color too. My floors are life proof LVP light gray color with shades of white. Don't know what cor should I do my vanity bathroom top?
Hi how you didn't tell us how long you cut each frame ? Is it same size as the mirror or abit longer ?
Why did you put the brackets on the front? Would have looked better in the back. But great idea, simple and looks good
Invest in an orbital sander. You can also get a fantastic result with a propane torch on the wood (Shou sugi ban method) followed by sanding and sealing
Do you add an inch to the 36” so it’s 37”
Or Add an inch to both the left and right side of all 4 pieces so it be 38”?
nice looking brushed nickel finish with multiple water spray options
Our master bathroom has a standing shower with handheld shower head.
We started to see some rust spots in the hose not to mention heavy mineral built ups in the shower head because our house has very hard water despite water softener we have.
My wife picked out this handheld shower head to replace our old one because she loves the brush nickel finish to match our bathroom decors but this turned out to be very impressive handheld shower head.
Although I have replaced shower heads many times in the past, it came with nice instruction on how to replace it for those who's not familiar with it. My only advise would be to use wrench to hold the base spout when removing and installing the holding adapter so you don't accidently twist and damage the base pipe when you over tighten it.
I really appreciate that it came with plenty of plumber's tape because you really want to put that on before connecting different parts so that there's no water leak in between threads. This is one of most common mistakes and reasons why there's leak after installing it. Very happy to see that they have provided plumber's tape to remind you to use it!
It also had rubber rings/washers in each connector but it also came with extra one, which is nice. They also included a shower drain cover to prevent hair from going in to the drainage, which is a nice bonus. I really love the brush nickel finish, which makes it look elegant and expensive. The 7 different water spray setting is nice to have so you can change it for different purpose. We will most likely leave it on one setting for most of the times but it's nice to have option to change it when needed, such as jet spray for cleaning the shower wall, etc.
After replacing the shower head, I didn't see any leak and the stainless steel hose feels sturdy. I also like that I can rotate and tilt the shower head holder and it stays in place. Overall, very happy with this shower head!

Hi! what size angle bracket did you get for this mirror? I see it comes in 20,25,30, or 40mm
Just thinking about what if I need to remove the mirror, looks like you are covering the screws with the wood glued..
how do you remove the mirror afterwards ? because you glued the wood on the mirror and the wood is over the screws that holds the mirror in place.
I would like to know this too!!! Please
Just pry it off somehow with pry bar
They installed the mirror on the frame but I can see the reflection of the glue. Anything I can do?
I have to be nice to the guy at Home Depot to get him to do his job......what is this country turning into......
I hate this look
This is awesome. Followed your instructions and did this for myself ❤❤
Great tips!! Especially for those mirror clips. Did you use anything to protect the frame/wood from the water or moisture in the bathroom ?
he bought pressure treated wood
How did you cover the plastic clips that hold the mirror in place or did you remove them?
I wouldve seal it. Youre gonna get alotof humidity in a bathroom
what about the screws that hold mirror in place, dont they stick out and cause you not to get the wood flat against the mirror?
Is there any way I can make this frame a standing mirror?
Glue the mirror onto a plywood sheet and put the frame on it
@@myurenj4469 thank you.
Great ideo. What if you want to remove the frame later? Do you have to break the mirror?
1 by 4 is not too wide？
Your video was so helpful!
You’re tutorial made easy to understand and can’t wait to start my project. I even liked when you made time to say hi to your baby 😊.
I think the knots and imperfections give it more character.
I love Zelda, Especially Breath of the Wild
No one gives a f
Why add the extra inch?
You need to clean up the mill chatter, it is visible through the finish!
so does the frame sticks onto the mirror or the dry wall?
Mirror. You could also just build a similar frame and use hooks or wire behind the wood to hang if you don't want to permanently glue it to the mirror. If hanging it, you would want to make the frame a little larger than the mirror to hide the hooks or wire.
05:17 is the saddest moment of the video... so you left those screws there :(
What's the color u used it..
Thanks a bunch for the awesome detailed step by step 😊
