Tiled Mirror
 The IKEA tiled mirror is complete!  Finished it last night.  Because the tiles aren't 100% uniform, and the spacing is tricky, it's not perfectly aligned.  But I like the look.  It looks modern, without being standardized.

It looks modern, without being standardized. I did have to go back and paint the edges of the foamboard black--that was tedious.  And then also needed to tack up a few of the corners; that shiny tagboard surface doesn't take the gel medium real well.    It would have been easier to go buy black tiles ready-made, but what's the wonder of that?

Stay tuned for the next mirror adventure.  I DID buy 8 of them!
 
 
 
          
      
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Great! You have a lot of patience. I think I would have purchased tiles after having to cut extra foamboard. The mirrors will make great gifts too.
