HOW TO FRAME YOUR FOUR-SIDED BATHROOM MIRROR
You will be AMAZED at the difference this quick fix makes to your room! Upon completion, apply your choice of finish to wood frame.
- Select and purchase crown moulding that will lay flat on the front sides of your mirror.
- Cut lengths of crown moulding to fit the sides of mirror. (Make sure to cut accurate angles for corners)
- Apply one strip of Gorilla glue in the middle of the moulding. **DO NOT SPREAD GLUE CLOSE TO MIRROR EDGES BECAUSE IT EXPANDS.
- Place moulding on edge of mirror and hold it in place for about five minutes or until moulding adheres. (Make sure the moulding stays in place as the glue expands)
- Repeat steps 3 & 4 for remaining pieces of moulding.
WHAT IS THE BEST POSTURE WHEN SHOPPING FOR SOFA AND CHAIRS
How long to you sit in a sofa or chair when looking to purchase? 10 to 15 minutes of sitting time is needed to find out if the chair or sofa will be comfortable. A good idea is to have someone with you for a second opinion.
The back of the chair or sofa should have a slight curve to support your lower back and hips should touch the back. If the back of the chair or sofa is too vertical, you will feel like you are leaning forward. If pitched too deep, you will feel as though you are slouching. When sitting, the front edge of furniture should touch your knees. If the cushion seems to curl up around you, it is probably made using low-density foam (cheap). Hard cushions might soften up a bit, but a well construction cushion will not lose its ability to support your back.
