I have been on the hunt for a large mirror for my room for quite some time now, and especially loved the ones I’ve been at stores like Anthropologie or Urban Outfitters Home section, but they’re so expensive. When I stumbled across this video by, Designed by Smashley I knew I had found my solution. This amazing DIY project looks amazing in my room and turned out even nice than I expected it to.

Step Two
Using gorilla wood glue, attach your slats of wood to the plywood. and place the mirrors into the slats to measure out the distance. Repeat this process as you move down the plywood. Then repeat the process with the vertical slats. Go back and reinforce all the slats with nails.
Step Three
Spackle over all your nail holes and then sand the top so the slats are even. Spray paint the slats with your desired color.
