HOME TRUTHS: Custom-Frame Your Mirror

A basic mirror attached to a wall.

Transform a wall-mounted plate-glass bathroom mirror from functional to fabulous with Moen’s Mirrorscapes, a system of wood molding and decorative corners that allows you to create a frame with a custom look. Assembly is simple: Cut the strips (which come in up to 8 feet in length) with a handsaw, attach them to the mirror with the included mounting brackets, and connect the pieces using the premade corners (sold separately). Available in five styles and with numerous finishes, the product can fit every decor, from traditional to modern; there’s also an unfinished model that you can paint or stain any way you desire. $220 to $280. (Moen, 800-882-0116)

Retrofitting the mirror with a Mirrorscape frame gives it a custom-finished look.
