DIY Mirrored Wall.

As long as I'm on a roll with posting tutorials...here's another one.

Last year I posted my good friend Harmony's, mirrored wall. I've had a lot of inquiries requesting a tutorial. So here it is...a year later. Enjoy!

Start with the "LOTS" mirrors from IKEA.
They come in a pack of 4 for only $4.99.
The trim is actually just basic trim moulding from Home Depot cut to size. Start with the long horizontal pieces, then cut the vertical pieces to go inbetween the long horizontal pieces.
Make sure to use a level every step of the way.
Believe it or not, mounting tape was used to hang every mirror AND piece of trim!
Nails kept splitting the the wood so mounting tape was used instead and worked great.

I am absolutely LOVING this :) I can't wait to try it, although I'm going to hold off until we buy a house in the next few months here (currently looking) because I feel like it won't be easy to take down!!

It looks just like a window. Great idea for darker places or even in rooms without any window, because it creates an illusion. I'm following this blog for a few weeks and i love it! Kisses from Portugal.
