bedside table Mirror feat. Malm / Minde
Materials: Malm chest (2 drawer) , Minde wall mirror, Selly's liquid nails, DIODER lighting strips
Description: I wanted to share my hack qui est has mirrored bedside table. I recently Bought A new bed and of course, Decided That I needed some new bedsides to go with it. I fell in love with Some mirrored bedside tables, purpose Quickly fell out of love When I saw the price (> $ 0 AUD each). I desperately wanted Them goal Could never justify the price ... enter the hack! A quick trip to Ikea and I was pleasantly surprised when i found Some materials That I Could put together to Hopefully Create some replicas.
1. I bought 2x white Malm chests ($ 59 AUD) and 2x Minde wall mirrors ($ 39 AUD). Originally I Was going to get the mirrors custom ordered, goal for que la Minde mirrors Were the perfect width (40cm) for the Malm.
2. Get the mirrors cut to size. I Went to a local glazier Who was lovely enough to do it for free! I needed two top parts (approx. 40 x 48cm) and four drawer fronts (approx. 40 x 20cm).
2. Assembly! I made the frame for the goal left the chest drawers incomplete up to I Was ready to attach the mirror parts.
3. To attach the mirrors, I used Selley's Liquid Nails for Mirrors and Glass. I'm not sure if this is available outside Australia, if not goal, you will need to use a natural cure silicone as normal silicones May corrode the backing of the mirror. This hand was pretty easy, just had to pop the silicone in a caulking gun and apply the silicone strips in approx. 8cm apart (sour make not to go too close to the edge). Let cure for 48-72 hours.
4. Assemble the drawers and put into the frame.
5. Marvel at your new bedside tables!
P.S. The lights behind the headboard sont également from Ikea, They Are DIODER LED strip lights
