How build a dramatic mirror from the dollar store...

It’s only taken me 5 years, but I finally had the living room repainted from an awful lemon yellow to something much tamer; I will tell you though, it’s almost too light for me, but I am learning to love it. It’s called Canvas by Benjamin Moore. After it was painted I realized I wanted a large mirror on the wall but could not afford the huge price tag. That’s when I decided to build a dramatic mirror from the dollar store.

A neutral-toned living room with a beige sofa, assorted pillows, a doll, and a wooden side chair features a white coffee table with small potted plants and trays. Build a dramatic mirror from the dollar store to elevate the space.

I wanted a HUGE mirror on the wall like Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn, but didn’t really have the extra $500 sitting around..

but I did have $20 for the Dollar store. So I bought 20 $1 mirrors and decided to build a dramatic mirror from the Dollar store.

Nine square mirrors with silver frames, arranged in a grid pattern on a floral rug in front of a coffee table, create the look of a dramatic mirror from the dollar store. The image is watermarked "Jennifer Rizzo.

I laid them out in the pattern and spacing I wanted and them measured how that would fit on my wall. I decided on 1.5 spacing between each mirror.

A hand holds a level against a beige wall with blue painter’s tape nearby—an essential step to build a dramatic mirror from the dollar store. The name "Jennifer Rizzo" is written in the bottom right corner.

I marked out a level tape line on my wall and basically taped out a big box to fit the mirrors in.

A hand measures the back of a picture frame with a tape measure on a beige couch. "Jennifer Rizzo" is written in the lower right corner, offering inspiration to build a dramatic mirror from the dollar store.

I measured where my hanger was from the back of the first mirror so I knew where to put my nail in the wall.

I marked it on the wall and hung my mirror. I did each mirror he same way until I filled the entire wall.

A beige sofa sits against a tan wall with a grid of square mirrors above it—build a dramatic mirror from the dollar store for this effect. A vacuum and side table with a lamp are nearby.

You can see it against my tape line still on the ceiling. It helped me keep it level.

A beige tufted sofa with assorted pillows sits against a wall, topped with a grid of square mirrors—build a dramatic mirror from the dollar store; side tables hold books, plants, and a lamp.

I ended up removing the bottom row, I didn’t like it going behind the couch as much.
Who said I can’t have a big mirror for $15?? I saved so much durn money making a dramatic mirror from the dollar store .

A cozy living room with a vintage armchair, beige tufted sofa, and white china cabinet transformed into a display case for decorative pillows, plus wall mirrors reflecting the space.
