My husband is going to kill me...
He should be on his way home from work in about half an hour...
I am impatiently awaiting his arrival...
See that mirror? We affectionately call it our two-way mirror. It's not one but it's kind of freaky to have one that looks like it. The last owners of our house literally built it into the wall. It's recessed by about a good three or four inches and it's absolutely hideous.
We didn't have the money to have contractors fix it when they painted so we decided to just live with it for a few more years until we can afford it. About two or three months ago we bought a huge mirror we could cover it up with. In order to completely cover it, we would have had to nail boards to the sides of the current mirror so our new mirror would sit flush.
Today, I ran my errands, cleaned the house, got bored and decided I was tired of waiting until we had the money to fix it. I was hoping the frame that's poking out was just nailed on top of the frame attached to the mirror and I could just pop it off and cover the recessed mirror and frame up for the time being.
Um....no...It comes out in one solid frame piece. Now there's a huge stinkin' hole in our wall! I didn't take it completely out of the sheet rock yet because it's open wall behind it. I think our friend knows how to do sheet rock or at least knows it enough for us to patch it. I figure we can worry about the texture at a later point since the new mirror is big enough to cover it.
Now, I'm just waiting for my husband to come home.
Do what you love and the rest comes on it's own

All I can say was good luck ......my husband would have had something to say, (lol)
Don't worry, it should be an easy fix and not too expensive either. I'll bet when it's done, you'll be happy you did it and wonder why you waited so long.
My husband and I are converting two bedrooms into a master bedroom with two closets and a big bathroom and we are doing most of the work ourselves. And if we can do it, I'm sure you'll have no problems.
I love this kind of construction! I too did this to my kitchen while my husband was away for work...lol...hey someone needed to start the job! : )
what's a little sheetrock. Actually it might make a cool little nook if you want to finish it out in that much detail. It's just as much your house as it is his, so if he gets pissy you might just remind him of that. Love, S.
