Mirror window film
 

I have a built in wardrobe with partially glazed doors

I want to turn the glass into a mirror - would reflective window film
sold for privacy purposes do the job ?

The existing glazing cannot be removed as it appears bonded to the MDF
door which has been machined to create a multipane window effect.

Or any other suggestions of how to create a mirror effect.

Thanks

Robert

Well yes, it would certainly make a mirror of sorts - but not of the quality
of a 'real' one I wouldn't have thought. If you're just after the effect of
a mirror (eg for making the room look bigger etc) it would probably be OK,
but if it's for SWMBO to apply her eyeliner, I suspect it wouldn't pass
muster.

They're awful. If it's for the lady to look at her image full length it's
even worse than applying eyeliner - which you can do with a hand-held
mirror.

I remember it well.

Do they still use eye liners?

Most of my Saturdays seem to be spent standing around various cosmetics
counters while she looks for just the right consistency / colour / make. It
is worse than shoe shopping.

I don't buy or wear shoes either.

But there again I don't look smart or alluring or businesslike or attractive
.... in fact I'm a mess.

I'll stay shoeless.

Not because I don't like them, my feet aren't fat but they're fat too broad
to fit any commercially made shoes. Always have been. Those made for old
women, like me, fit across the toes but flop about the nkles, I have slim
ankles.

This is a DIY issue. Spouse makes my medieval shoes and sandals - which I
wer most of the time. when it's really cold I wear sheepskin boots which are
wonderful but frightfully expensive. The Celtic Sheepskin Company. And no
socks.

Why can't she just get the same as she got last time?

At present there are cutains behind the door windows - a bedroom
makeover requires a change.

Use as a mirror not required, I would have removed glass and replaced
with mirror if I could, but I reckon any attempt would result in the
thin MDF breaking!

Interesting discussion so far - have you noticed how the upmarket
dress shops have a chair and motor mags for the "husband"

You can actually buy mirror on a roll which, provided you take a lot of care
applying it, works very well. If it's put on properly, you wouldn't know it
wasn't a solid mirror. do a Google for "mirror roll"

She has a talent for liking things that have recently been discontinued.

Have a web search for a product called "Vitrail". It's made, or supplied in
the UK, by a company called "Pebeo", who also make other paint and tint
products for fabrics, glass and all sorts of other things. Their stuff is
great and cheap for these types of effects on glass and plastics.

Oh, in that case go ahead!

No ... Oxfam doesn't.

Why? He shouldn't be there in the first place, he should be enjoying
himself on the golf course or at football or in the pub

Indeed. What's he doing interfering with the wife?

And now Chip'n'PIN is coming in, hubby doesn't even have to be there to sign
the credit card slip. Keep your PIN secure - "careless talk, costly wives".

I wish Spouse would have taken responsibility for financial matters of any
kind. His motto was: I earn it, you spend it.

Anyone who allows their wife to have a credit card deserves all they
get.
In those homes where the wife is given her weekly housekeeping money,
there is none of this retail therapy nonsense.

There's none of that in our house either (we don't live in a home). No
weekly housekeeping anything.

Everything's done by DD.

Shopping's a no no for both of us, we hate it.

For most men, that's a complaint not a motto.

I'd love him to take control of the finances.

Or anything ...

This is excellent Mary I hope you are breeding, we need lots more like
you.

Long past breeding but we did our best. We have a daughter in law who's born
to shop and has infected her children but I think all the others are as idle
as we are :-) BTW she's an accountant so has her head screwed on and is
ultra sensible about spending.

She'll stop when she hits the card credit limit, so it is only the AmEx that
needs to be watched.
