Use an old framed dresser mirror and give it new life by repurposing it as a new bathroom mirror.
Use an old framed dresser mirror and give it new life by repurposing it as a new bathroom mirror.
Hardest part will be finding an old mirror with a frame that will work for this project. The mirror needs to be big enough for your bathroom but also have an area on top to mount the bathroom light fixture.
Before you work on the mirror, remove the mirror from the frame so it doesn't break or get paint on it. If painting the mirror's frame, sand, prime, then paint the frame.
Once the paint is dry, center the light fixture on the mirror and mark where to drill the holes for the fixture. Drill holes.
You will need to use longer screws for your fixture now, so place the screws through the wood and then cut down to the proper length.
Mount light fixture to the mirror frame.
Before mounting the mirror on the wall, cover up the junction box with a cover. You will need to drill a small hole in the cover to pull the wires through to attach to the light fixture.
Hang the mirror and connect the wires to the fixture.
That's it! Now you have a new, unique mirror!
