Disguise your TV as a mirror

Cut your mirror film to just slightly larger than the piece of glass you are using for your frame.  I picked up my glass from Lowe's.  They will cut it to size for you.

Make sure to set up a clean sterile workspace with no dust in order to ensure clean adherence of your film.

Gila Privacy Control Mirror Finish film is what I use to get the mirror effect.  It is $30 at Lowe's.

Clean your glass.  I use coffee filters because they are lint free and leave no streaks.

Now clean it again with straight rubbing alcohol and coffee filters.

Clear tape will work well, but I like contact paper best because of it's size.  Cut a piece and run it over your glass to ensure you have removed all dust and hair particles prior to adhering your film.

Now clean the film with the rubbing alcohol and coffee filters.

Spray the glass with a rubbing alcohol and distilled water mixured of 3:1 (or buy the spray from Lowe's) Lay your film down on the wet glass.

Use a credit card or other smooth hard device to smooth all the bubbles out from under your film.

 I like to go over my film with a squeegie after the credit card to make sure I've squeezed out all the excess liquid.

Trim your film.  I use a new razor blade, but you can also purchase a tool for this at Lowe's.

Here is the frame I have selected for the TV.  I'm not fond of the shiny black, but I like the design and size.

I decided to antique wax my frame to age it and give it some depth.

Still not happy, I dry brushed some gold paint onto the detail work to make it pop.

Now that my frame and glass are dry, it's time to attach the two pieces.  I used Glass & Bead Adhesive from Hobby Lobby to attach the two slick surfaces.

A small bead ran along the inner corners is sufficient.

I lay my glass into the frame with the film side up.  We don't want to risk the film getting detached from the glass because of the adhesive and this allows us to take the film off in the future if we ever decide to reuse the frame for something else. 

Plumbers pipe hanger is the best thing I have found for attaching the TV to the frame.

 A couple screws and brackets along with the pipe hanger and the TV is solidly attached to my frame.  A standard wall mounting bracked attached to the back of the TV is all that is required to hang your mirror on the wall. I prefer a tiltable, low profile mount as it creates the same hanging affect on the wall as a standard mirror hung with wire.

And Voila!  You now have a beautiful TV disguised as a mirror!
