apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Aprica - well done! Kudos!

To answer the question, yeah I'm thinking about doing this with some cabinets to spice them up till I can afford to remodel (one of my bathrooms). In my case I already have large mirrors from salvage that just need to be cut down to size by a glass shop.

Oh, I did so something similar but different if this counts - I was inspired by how Candice Olson makes awesome mirror/sconce combinations so I designed and assembled my own. The frames I bought wholesale online to my specs, the mirror I had custom etched at a place in Atlanta (shipping was pricey but not too bad), and had a local glass shop drill the mounting holes for the sconces I selected.

hmmm- invisible sharp edged furniture that wants to eat my shins.

very cool look anyhow.

Has anyone ever used glass paint for a similar effect? I wonder if that would work...

before i found my mirrored console on craig's list, i was all set to do this. nice job!

MagneticKids, if you're thinking of the mirror-finish spray paint, that has to be applied to the inside of glass. So you'd be taking pieces of glass, painting their backs to get a mirror finish, and then gluing them to your table... at which point, you might as well just start with bits of mirror instead.

Chrome-finish paint applied directly to the table might give you something as shiny as the mirror table but less invisible because the reflection would be less accurate.
