During the holidays when I was growing up both my mom and grandma went over-the-top with their Christmas decorations. We’re talking little Christmas villages, santa figurines, garlands up the staircase, twinkling lights indoors and out, and of course, the most beautiful Christmas tree ever.

Thanks to our friends at Metrie,  I’m bringing you a fab DIY tutorial on how to create a large scale, custom framed mirror using moulding. I love using large scale mirrors in interior projects because they add an element of grandeur to a space and also helps to reflect light which really opens up a room.  A very large decorative mirror can easily cost several hundred or even thousands of dollars on the high end so this is an easy way …
