DIY Trumeau....

I'm finding it hard to do a tutorial when I have no idea what I'm talking about.

  So I guess I will just wing it ..ha!

                               I used one board for my base, mirror from Wal mart,decorative wood garland from  Home Depot and trim from my sisters garage :)

I set my pieces where I wanted them to go .... measured by sight then cut.

You can see here where I measured by drawing lines.

I didnt measure for perfection...just looks.

I used this good ole handy dandy saw to cut my edges.

Before you decide on a mirror size I would measure your wall space.

Cut out a piece of paper and hang it on the wall for a few days.

Move it around..

I have high ceilings so the long mirror worked perfect for me.

I also found that drawing lines helped me keep things in their place.

Make sure you paint your base before you add the mirror.

Opps. I forgot to tell ya'll I attached my trim with small nails and wood glue.

I told ya'll I stink at giving tutorials..sorry..

Dont forget to paint your mirror trim before you glue it down.

I used liquid nails to hold my mirror in place.

 

Once my mirror was glued down I then attached my trim .

I sanded and stained..and sanded..and stained...

till I got it just right...

see...

I must read a tutorial on how to write a good tutorial..ha!

I'm one of those that builds like I cook.

No recipe..

No correct measurments...

No rules..

Just right~
