Oh hey guys, remember me? I promise I did not forget you, I just took a bit of an unplanned hiatus 🙂 After getting the Split on the market, I switched into focusing on my own house and had lots of gardening plans… and now suddenly it is summer break! Yikes!
The great news is, I settled on the Split Decision and have purchased my next house. It’s a baby 🙂 Not new, just small. And I’m excited to get in there and see what I can do with a smaller house. Granted, I have no idea what it looks like inside as I don’t officially own it yet, and the last I saw, it was still occupied. Based on that, and from what we can tell from the outside, there is a chance we may not need to do much on the inside at all, and we could just turn and do a true flip on it. Time will tell…
Speaking of the Split, I promised you a tutorial on the wall mirror, so without further ado…
I wanted to tie in the fireplace hearth with a piece on the mantel, and so I pulled the same design into this “tile” framed mirror.
thin plywood, 33 1/2″ x 33 1/2″
1×2 – you can go with beefier trim here – I kind of wish I had!
2 @ 33 1/2″
2 @ 35″
scrap 1×4 (for back to attach mirror and plywood to frame)
2 @ 33 1/2″
1 @ 26 1/2″
26 vinyl tiles, 5 3/8″ square
Note on tiles if you are creating your own on a vinyl cutter: I cut mine into 4 sets of 2 tiles, 4 sets of 4 tiles in a square, and 2 tiles cut into quarters. This makes laying out the design go very quickly.
Note: You can easily use different sized vinyl tiles, just adjust your plywood and frame sizes accordingly. I created a 1/4″ gap between the tiles to mimic the look of grout lines. So if you used 6″ tiles and 1/4″ gaps, your board would be 37 1/4″ square.
This was a fun and surprisingly quick project. It also makes a big impact wherever I place it.
Enjoy!
