Dress Up a Plain Mirror

By Tim Carter
©1993-2008 Tim Carter

thanks for the directions for framing the bathroom plate glass mirror.

QUESTION:

I got an idea to hang decorative mirrors above each sink onto my full wall mirror in my bathroom. Can I do this myself or should I call a glass professional? If I can do it myself, how do I go about it?
