pleasant miscalculations

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

We have had a frameless mirror in our master bathroom for years now, while we have been trying to decide what to do in there. I thought we could use the mirror we have and put a simple frame around it, replacing it later if we found something we liked better, or not. I bought some 1x8 cedar for $8 and Darren made a super simple frame. I painted and distressed it and took it upstairs to our bathroom. But when we put it up we discovered that with a now chunky frame around the mirror it covered up the electrical outlet, that of course we need and use. Vertically!?! Nope. There isn't enough space between the light fixture and the counter for it to sit that way either. So I took it downstairs, took the mirror that was in that bathroom out and replaced it with the new one - reusing the smaller mirror upstairs. For $8 dollars and an hour of our time, it all worked out in the end and I think I actually prefer it this way around.
