Bathroom Vanity Mirror #8: Glass cutting is a pain

Put small, false corbels in the corners?

-- My broker promised me he would treat my money as if it were his own. Trouble is, he did.

Corbels, I was thinking the same thing… didn’t know what they were called, but now I do!

The corner inserts could end up being the most interesting feature! I have found that to be the case several times…

-- Steve - Impatience is Expensive

Corbels would work perfectly and quite likely enhance the total appearance

Real men use Duct tape. :)

-- Life is to short to own an ugly boat.

If it’s broken the only safe way is to replace it.

Jim you make a good point. It is broken and sharp, I should probably champer the corner off to eliminate the sharp edges at least.

Everyone else thanks for the ideas, I am trying to have a simple arts and crafts look to the final project, I’m not sure if Corbels can match that style but I will look around. As for the panel molding that was my first thought as well; something contrasting with a simple shape. I have also been thinking about something directly on the glass almost like etching something and covering the corner, not sure exactly what but if there are any idea’s let me know.

You might try adding Intarsia pieces to the corners. leaves, acorns, or flowers… make up your pieces and silicone them into the corners. I have used this trick many times and it looks like they belong there.
Good luck and God Bless ~ John
