Thank you Ellie! I’ll help as much as I can, but the mirror has been rehomed. From the edge of the outside molding to the mirror was about 4.5 – 5 inches. Many times I use what I have so I don’t need to cut lumber to size. Best I can remember it is the same width all the way around.
It sounds like this is a perfect way to repurpose your chipped beveled mirror. 🙂

Please let me know how your project goes. I’m here if I can help in any way.

I love your mirror!!! It is beautiful! I am trying to replicate it myself and wondered what the size of the edges around the mirror are (the edges on the plywood)? It looks like it might be around 3-4inches, but love the look of yours and want it the same! Also, is there more of an edge on the top and bottom, or is it all the same dimensions all the way around? I have an antique beveled mirror and sadly two of the corners are chipped but I think it will look okay, especially if the chipped edges are on the bottom.
Thanks so much! Again, love, love, love it!!!

You did a wonderful job upcycling the mirror. I love mirrors to help reflect light in my house surrounded by trees. I have a skinny one in my front hall to check myself on the way out the door. Your wheeled table is so clever; I hate moving furniture’ chronic low back pain is a PAIN!

DIY is always more fun with friends ! I wish I had friends around that like doing what I do.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave a sweet comment, it means a lot to me.

Mirror too big for our house but it is a jewel since you made new frame for it. You are so talented Gail. Seem to have idea what to do with whatever you get your hands on. Wish I had you around to help me as Mr. won’t make things anymore, says he’s on strike, phooey.
Thar mirror turned out so incredible, happy weekend

Mirror is wonderful! Love it. I put my “leaner” mirror on a small wall in the living room in my “entryway” area. Helps when u need to check things over before heading out the door.

Laurel,

Those wheels! I use them for everything. Working alone, I couldn’t do what I do without my special helpers which include small furniture dollies. Thanks for stopping by!

I love how this project turned out, Gail. Great tutorial! (And how cool are those tri-dolly wheels?!)
