The frame pieces\u00a0arrived a couple days ago and this evening we assembled it and got it onto the wall.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn&#8217;t the easiest task, since the mirror we bought the frame for was the exact width of the wall, we were nervous the assembled frame might not fit into the wall space.<\/p>\n<p>But we were very pleased with the precision of the pieces, and they assembled nearly-perfectly! Definitely good enough that you won&#8217;t notice that it&#8217;s a DIY project.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4836\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4836\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/img_8622\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4836\" src=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8622-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"You have to glue and affix brackets into the corners ahead of time.\" width=\"630\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8622-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8622-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8622-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You have to glue and affix brackets into the corners ahead of time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4837\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4837\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/img_8624\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4837\" src=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8624-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Then you carry the mirror to the space and do a test fitting.\" width=\"630\" height=\"840\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8624-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8624-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4837\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Then you carry the mirror to the space and do a test fitting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4838\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4838\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/img_8630\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4838\" src=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8630-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Timmy did a nice job getting this picture of the two of us trying to get the frame over the faucet into place.\" width=\"630\" height=\"840\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8630-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8630-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4838\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Timmy did a nice job getting this picture of the two of us trying to get the frame over the faucet into place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4839\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4839\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/img_8632\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4839\" src=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8632-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"I couldn't be more pleased with the finished product!\" width=\"630\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8632-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8632-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_8632-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4839\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I couldn&#8217;t be more pleased with the finished product!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are finished with our half-bath upgrades (and hopefully home improvements in general for a while)!
