Dane, mirrormates is pricey for my budget minded attitude, but I'm envious of the creator that turned her idea into a great enterprise.  Thanks for commenting. 

Don't know who the first comment is from (not logged in?) but thank you.  These cabinets are also painted, not a dark color but a sandy color.  The paint is American Traditions (lowes) espresso in a satin finish.  I use it a lot! 

Maureen, thanks for coming back.  I kind of knew that it was someone that knows me.  Have a great Sunday. 

Hi Kathy, thank you for your kind comments.  Actually a compound angle chop saw is one of my favorite power tools and I can do great miter cuts, but if something goes wrong I hate using caulk. So this is a better solution AND one that most people can accomplish.  Several of my staging clients have done this and they're always pleased with the results. 

Shobha it sounds like your area builders have the same ideas and those in my area.  ALL low end fixtures, mirrors and finishes.  I swear that they have have stock in Lowes and Home Depots outdated warehouse items.  Shiny brass, plain mirrors and even bug lites in the bedrooms.  I've tried talking some design sense into them, but they just look at me like I'm crazy.  The condo has those colors throughout...ocean/spa colors for the calm and cool look.  Thanks for commenting and give us a show of your project if you find the time to do this. 

B, thank you.  It is easy and I bet you'll love the transformation.  Shoot us a photo when you're done. 

Elaine, thanks so much for your "appreciating" comments.  I am pleased with the outcome and anxious to get back to make a few changes in the other bath.  Need to "cool" it down.  Enjoy looking a mirrormates ideas.  You can get a designers package to share with your clients.  I mainly refer them to the website for ideas. 

Anita, glad to be of inspiration.  The nice thing is that depending upon the style that you want to achieve you just change the wood trim and the color.  Thanks for commenting. 

Kimberly, as much as I enjoy using the chop saw and making specific and careful miters, it's really nice to not have to worry about it AND so much faster.  Glad to be of help.

Lisa, can you share a photo of the closets?  I too have used rosettes, of many different designs, for door molding.  I guess I could share those photos too.  Please let us see your creative work. 

Terrylynn, mirrormates offers a nice discount to those of us in the design field.  Hope they join the Stagers.LIST resource.  Thanks for commenting. 

Cheryl, I use American Traditions (I think, anyway it's a Lowes brand), color is espresso and the finish is satin.  The cabinets are a sandy color called Water Chestnut.  It's an ICI/Glidden color.  I use it A LOT for many different applications in my home, in staging and in design. 

This bathroom mirror was glued to the wall so no "J" channel or plastic clips to work around.  However I have glued over J channel.  ALSO I forgot to mention that you really should paint the back of the wood trim black because it will be reflected in the mirror.  The trim sits right on top of the mirror.  I think on this particular on it extended about 1.5 onto the mirror and another 1 inches beyond the mirror.  Yes this trim was 2.5" wide and the rosettes were about 3" square.  Hope this makes sense. 

I don't mind the questions at all.  Any more just send 'em my way.  I don't have many secrets. 

Lora the plastic clips are tricky.  First I would remove just the top ones and see if the mirror is also glued.  Sometimes installers do both and the clips hold up the mirror while the glue is drying.  If yes, then no problem, just remove the clips.  If not, then I would remove the top clips, use a caulking gun to apply some glue to the back of the mirror, replace the clips while it dries and then remove again.  If the mirror is sitting on top of a black splash then usually you're ok for stability. 

 I have also used a pneumatic nail gun to attach the trim and the rosettes but also use the glue so there are no gaps.  It takes more time because you have to fill the nail holes, sand and such so I avoid the clips if possible. 

The J channel is the easier to work with and you can use it on the top and the bottom, then everything is secure and easy to cover. 

IF you use mirrormates system they have ways around this issue.  You have to measure carefully for each install and they make the trim to adapt to the clips. 

Charlene, oh how I hear you.  I've had a project in my living area started and incomplete for two years.  It's the ole' shoemakers daughter story.  It just doesn't seem as important or as much fun in my own house.  Probably by the time I get around to it again, I won't like the original plan because I'm so addicted to change in my interiors.   Good luck "finding" the time. 

Aloha Kimo.  We are on The Big Island in Kailua Kona.  This has been a dream of ours for almost 30 years and finally we're living it.  Thanks for comments and mahalo.

Lora, glad to be of help.  Hope it goes smoothly.

Patty, thanks again for stopping by.  I'm going to post a photo of a gorgeous bathroom that really needs this treatment, but I've been unsuccessful at convincing the seller AND he's a contractor so he has the skill. 

Michelle, karma.  I know exactly the product that you're speaking of. I saw them at Lowes probably 6 months ago and haven't seen them since.  In fact, I think Terry Haugen did a post about them.  Doesn't it seem strange that often we know more about Lowes than the folks that work there?  (-:  Post your photos when you're done. 

Penny, I'm always happy when RE agents stop by and look at my posts.  Thanks for commenting.  Hope you're using a professional stager. 

Sandy, why thank you.  It's nice when updates aren't too complicated or costly.

Kim, this is SO-O much easier.  No messy caulk if the miters don't exactly fit.  Thank you.
