Replacing old mirror

Having a new mirror cut at a local glass/mirror shop will be less expensive than having a mirror professionally resilvered. If the dresser is old (antique), mirror resilvering or replacement will lessen the value of the piece.

mirror casing

I am going to install a casing around a 4'X 5' mirror. (similar to a door or window casing). But as there is nothing simple to attach it to, i.e. a wall, any tips as to how to secure the casing to the mirror. I am envisioning 45 deg. angle cuts in the corners and a 4 or 5 inch casing. Thanks for your help.Read More

I have a mirror that is scratched in places in the back so it looks crappy. I was told that if I put silver paint and then black over that, it would be good as new. Is this true? It doesn't seem to be as I'm putting the black on now and I don't see a difference. If it's not the case, what do you do to fix scratches on mirrors? Thanks in advance for any help...bunnyRead More
