What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?
“This course was instrumental in helping me organize my space as well as my time. As a busy mom, I have a better grasp on what my days need to include so that I can enjoy my family rather than spend my time spinning my wheels cleaning up after everyone.”
“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”
“I am pretty sure I have solved more issues with the seven layers and clarity tool than I have in 6 months of therapy!! I think this course is going to help much more than my home. Thanks Amy!!!!”
When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

Beautiful, Amy!! I have one of those college dorm mirrors just sitting behind my closet door, waiting for me to give it a new life. It may make the “things to do sometime before the end of the year” list… ;)
Aloha,
Charlie
I love this. as I was reading it, I thought that is so old world charming I would antique it. Then I read further and saw you wanted to. How I glaze is, go to home depot buy Martha Stewart faux finishes glaze. Mix it 4 to 1 with your color (can use stain, paint, whatever for color) you can get this tinted but I prefer to mix it myself so I can use it with different colors for different projects. You then use a brush and brush it on your project. Make sure to get in all the nooks and crannies. Then take a cloth and wipe it off. This will leave the color in the nooks and crannies. The glaze doesn’t affect the color, just makes it so it doesn’t dry as fast. Gives you time to mess with it. Hope this helps. On a side note, until I make me one of these, I will now be standing on my tub to get a look in the mirror. Thanks for the idea lol.
wow you did am amazing job!!!
xo dana
You did an amazing job!!
love it!
xo
I love it, great job!! = )
Wow! That turned out great! So crisp and clean..I say don’t antique it. I always regret it, but some of the tips above sound really useful without discoloring the white. Anyway..you did a really nice job! :)
Oh Amy! That is stunning! I love it! It is perfect for a master bedroom :)
It’s beautiful! Great work! I used that same scrolly decorative wood on my ottoman-side table thing. Love it!
It is a pretty popular one. I have seen it on a few other projects on some different sites…guess we all are shopping at the some big box hardware stores :)
So pretty Amy!! :)
HI, Amy
I just love how your mirror turned out. Just lovely!
Vanessa
Vanessa–Thanks so much for your sweet comments…I really appreciate it!
Very impressive! So pretty… great job!
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such a sweet comment Amy!
I don’t think you should antique it or glaze it. It’s perfect the way it is.
Gorgeous. It’s perfect just as it is!
Oh my word!!! This is BEAUTIFUL! Makes me want to make one! It would look fabulous on each side of our fire place!
I am hosting a really fun giveaway on my blog! Would love for you to come and check it out!

Thanks Katie. They would be fun by your fireplace. I will have to check out your giveaway :)
Oh wow, it’s beautiful. Very elegant and I love the white against that paint colour too!
Thank you Andrea! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. I love the white against the paint too. That is why I am unsure about glazing it.
WOW!! I have the perfect place for something like that at the top of my stairs that has a skinny and tall blank wall. What kind of mirror did you use? It looks awesome.
Thanks for sharing. You executed this beautifully. I am definitely inspired!
I love this, I have been wanting a long mirror. I will have to try this out.
I have one of those mirrors (frame was lost long ago) and have been trying to figure out just how to get that thing on the wall already.
Thanks!
Thanks Penelope. Glad you found a solution. I hope you are able to make one to suit your needs. I really love mine!
So amazing!! Here from “The Picket Fence”. I am pinning this. I have wanted to learn how to make one of these for a long time. This is an awesome tutorial. Thanks!
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. Hope you are able to make one for yourself!
I absolutely adore this mirror!! I love it exactly as it is! I am going to try this for my daughter’s room. It is simply gorgeous!
Love the mirror just lovely. These mirrors can be so expensive. You have inspired me thank you!
Just stumbled on your blog after googling how to frame out a builder’s mirror…I’m obsessed and can’t stop reading…Maybe a lame ? But how did you choose to attach the mirror to the wall? Thanks!
I want to do this with a mirror as well. I would love if you gave some explanations on how you did the top piece of your mirror, the molding on top. Is it crown molding or just baseboard trim upside down and then what other pieces did you use? I can’t quite figure it out from your pictures. Thanks. I love this look.
It is a very small crown molding. Then we also found a decorative piece that is the little scroll like piece just in the molding section at Lowe’s. In our Lowe’s they are in the same aisle as the crown molding but just on the other side of the aisle. Hope that helps.
At first glance, my thought was that the silicone might deteriorate the back of the mirror and show through to the front of the mirror? I’m wondering about that, as the backing material (which is the reflective part) of mirrors are fairly delicate. Any thoughts? Just curious, as usual. Hopefully I’m totally wrong.
So far so good. The mirror backing is actually pretty durable. The silicon has had no effect on the mirror at all. Great question though.
Found you via Pinterest!
Really like what you’ve done here. I, too, have a crappy dorm mirror, but being a mirror, couldn’t just get rid of it!
Thanks for some great ideas.
Christine
Having read this I thought it was very enlightening.
I appreciate you spending some time and energy to put this information together.
I once again find myself spending a lot of time both reading
and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worth it!
Absolutely stunning work Amy, can’t believe how gorgeous the mirror looks in the end!
Joan- Thank you!
wow, this is beautiful, would love to attempt it, i don’t see any dimensions for the plywood, im guessing you did something along the lines of 2 x 7? could you be specific? thanks!
Sheryl- Yes, a 2X7 or 2X8.
