Mirror Mate: Review and giveaway!

Every house has them. You look in one every day (and sometimes cringe)

Mirrors!

But they don't have to be ugly.

Mirror Mate is a quick, easy, inexpensive way to dress up your mirror.
MirrorMate® Frames - Real frame, Real fast, Real style™

The people at Mirror Mate were kind enough to send us a Mirror Mate for our guest room bathroom.

I don't think I've ever shown you this bathroom before.

And for good reason.

I tried to pretty it up with a yard sale Pottery Barn shelf and some cute beachy accessories. But there was no denying the ugly mirror, brass light fixture, and faucet.

Also note that when we bought the house all the knobs on the vanity were gold. Yes, I love spray paint.

Anyways, there's nothing I can really do about the light fixture and faucet right now. So I thought I would offer a distraction.

By prettying up the mirror you kind of forget about all the other ugliness! I fell in love with the simplicity of the Pacifica White Cap.
Pacifica White Cap

It was so easy to do!

The Fed-Ex man arrived at  4:00.

Hubby came home from work at 7:10. I was giddy with excitement.

The box was carried upstairs by 7:15. Pieces laid out on the floor.

Mirror glued and clipped together by 7:25.
It says to wait an hour. I paced around the house. I Even vacuumed a room.

At 8:25 we were back in the bathroom, peeling the sticky stuff off the back.

Mirror leveled. Viola.

Super.easy. All in all it took about 15 minutes (besides the waiting time for the glue to dry!!)

Hubby likes super easy DIY.

Now here's the exciting part! 

The folks at Mirror Mate are offering a Before Meets After reader a chance to win one!
