Remember this mirror on mirror project from my parents’ bedroom suite redo? The basic idea was we used an approaching ridiculous number of 3M Picture Hanging Strips
If you’re looking to tackle this project in your house, check out the selection of pretty inexpensive frameless mirrors from this eBay seller.

these are beautiful..particularly the last one…I love how your diy turned out! love the color of the cabinet under the counter too! do check out my aqua-themed post when you have a moment! xx meenal
That looks great! I never thought of that…a great way to add interest to a huge mirror (like the mirrored closet doors in our master bath!).
Love this idea– great way to add dimension on a dime! Target has a few as well.
Thanks for sharing!!
3M picture hanging strips?!?! I had no idea! Great tip.
Perfect timing! I am doing something similar to what you did in your old entry (only with paint, instead of top-taping the walls with vellum tape) and I need a little (subtle!) sparkle in there now!
Fun look, love that. Velcro works better than 3M stickies, FYI!
I really want to do this idea in our second bath but I'm afraid the steam would weaken the strips over time. So I'm guessing your mom hasn't had any trouble though so I should try it!
I have this very 80's esque wall of mirrors above the chair rail in the dining space of my condo. It's the wall that faces you when you walk through the front door. I've been trying to come up with a way to update it, but hanging my huge framed mirror on top of it seemed like it might require a ceiling plate and be a nightmare of a project. Do you think these mirrors would provide an updated look?
How many strips did this actually take? Did you leave the tiny pull taps exposed in anyway to make it easy to remove? How has it held up at your moms house?
Libby – I'd definitley give this project a try. I'm doing it in our apartment too.
Anon – the mirrors have held for more than a year without a single problem. I think we used about six strips per mirror.

I totally have that last mirror, but I believe my mom got it for me from either HomeGoods or Marshalls. I love it!

I have the mirror from lowes in our bathroom for our beauty salon, it's totally gorgeous! Love your project for your parent's bathroom, very inventive.
will that detach easily? I ask because I'm a renter and would love to spruce up my mirrors, but I'd have to take it with me when I go!
What a great idea! I have that Ikea mirror in my bedroom on top of my dressing table, but have been trying to figure out a way to dress my master bath mirror up. I love it!!
I've been wanting to do this in my bathroom ever since I saw your post of your parent's remodel.
I've been wondering whether they are still sticking up there after all this time.
Fabulous! Great ideas!
their bathroom is so fabulous and luxe looking! and i have that soap dispenser from target. :)
These are pretty fabulous, it is a great way to dress up a plate glass mirror, I wouldn't have though about this! Janell
Just spotted one of these mirrors on Saturday for $22. If you live near Roanoke, VA, head to Consignment First!
Love this idea! Totally want to try it in our bathroom. Love your blog…it's full of great inspiration!
