Upgrading Your Builder Grade Mirror

When I redid our loft bathroom, I really liked how big the mirror was, especially in comparison to the rest of the space because this is a really massive bathroom. However, after I redid everything else, I realized the mirror just looked bare and contrasted with the rest of the space. I decided to build a custom frame for it!

Jackie’s Bathroom

I decided to take Jackie’s builder basic bathroom and step it up a notch. It needed to be more functional. We needed more space for hanging stuff that was not on the back of the door and I wanted it to reflect her style. It’s amazing what a change in hardware, some paint, and a little bit of shiplap can do to transform a space!

Creating a Cozy Landing Space

When I first started redoing our primary bedroom, we moved my husband's desk over to the corner of the room. That took away the space that we were using previously for our full length mirror. I knew I needed to find a new space for it because it was just awkwardly sitting behind the bedroom door and that just wasn’t going to work. Hanging it on the back of the door wasn't an option either because there was too much light coming in from behind it. So, I spent some time wandering around our house and I decided that the landing at the top of our first set of stairs was going to be the best option since there was a good amount of space to work with. I liked that there was nothing on the wall, the lighting was good and there was plenty of space for me to make this a cozy little nook, so that's what I decided to do. So I got to work.
