Mirror Makeover

So when we moved in, the downstairs 1/2 bath already had a mirror in it. It's not one that I'm too fond of, but it's nice to have one. The question is, what tactic should I use to cover up the hideousness of its border?


We've talked about spray paint, but that makes me a little nervous...I don't want it to look cheap.

Any suggestions??

    I've seen some really cool mirrors that are done in wood/mother of pearl, etc. You probably know what I'm talking about. Maybe find some store-bought driftwood pieces that you can arrange around the border and gorilla glue them down? Or even twigs that are cleaned/varnished/painted?

    a frame? depends on how thick the glass is, i guess...

    My thought is a combination of the two comments above... a plain frame that you can even stencil and paint a fun (more updated) design on.
