This post was originally posted on my old blog 'www.maplestoneblog.com'. -----> About a year and a half ago DH and I framed out the builder grade mirrors in 2 of our 3 bathrooms. Framing out these mirrors is one of the cheapest and easiest upgrades you can do. The cost is only as expensive as the trim that you purchase (or already have).
Before heading out to your favorite home improvement store or digging through your stash at home; make sure to measure the perimeter of your mirror(s).
Supplies:
2 - 1x2.5x8 simple molding
3 - 1x4x8 baseboards
tube liquid nail, we used one tube for both bathrooms
painters tape
miter saw
pencil
tape measure
caulk
Make sure to paint the backs of the boards before hand. It was raining the day I painted them, so I laid down plastic and used my dining table!
1. Clean mirrors thoroughly before starting.
2. Measure mirror again REMEMBER: MEASURE TWICE CUT ONCE, start making your cuts (we started with the sides then moved to the top and bottom). Make sure to do a rough fit before gluing boards to mirror.
3. Run liquid nail along the back of boards, if you put too much on make sure to wipe of immediately. Place boards on mirror, adding pressure to adhere, once all boards are in place, add painters tape to keep boards from moving while drying.
*IMPORTANT - DO NOT USE SHOWER OR TUB FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS*
I let ours dry for 48 hours before I removed the tape.

In our Master bathroom we decided to divide to apply the boards down the middle.
Once dry, apply caulk, let dry (I waited 24 hours) then paint.
Here are the finished mirrors:
I love the way they look, especially the master bath mirror.

Recipe
Sandwiches
Do you like sandwiches/subs? My family does and I've never been been a huge fan of meatball subs, but I will eat them. They're easy to prepare, filling and great leftovers. I've had this recipe written in my recipe book for awhile and I'm not sure where I got it from. But wherever it came from I'm glad I wrote it down!
All the ingredients are pre-made, (including the meatballs) or homemade, it's up to you.
Thank you for stopping by.
Hugs,
Tina

How to cook EASY MEATBALL SUBS
- 1. In your crock pot place meatballs and pour in sauce until meatballs are covered. Cook on high for 4 hours, then turn down to low and let simmer until ready to serve. To prevent meatballs from scorching stir often.

- Once cheese is melted, serve
