Some people like the happy trick or treating side of Halloween, while others enjoy the spooky, creepy side.  Decorating your home to add the spooky Halloween feel can be easier than you think.  Here is how to make your mirror appear to have a ghost living inside of it.  First you are going to need a mirror with an old looking frame, an old book, a razorblade for scraping and glossy black spray paint.  Here are some quick steps:

1. Take apart the mirror
2. Find an old picture from your book and cut it out to fit the mirror frame.
3. Scrape off the coating on the back of the mirror, try not to scrape off too much.
4. Tape the picture to the back of the mirror.
5. Spraypaint your mirror frame black.

Now you have yourself a transparent face in your mirror, to spook some guests.  For more images and instructions please visit http://goo.gl/8YM8uM.

Creative Ways to Optimize Small Bathroom

Do you have a small bathroom off a hallway or even tucked under the stairs?  It may sometimes seem impossible to make it cozy and inviting.  Rest assured, there are many different ways to transform that small clustered bathroom into a thing of beauty.  A houzz decorating article details a few creative ways to optimize the space in a small bathroom. 

1. Invite the eye with creative paint treatments.  Bold colors are great to change the look of your bathroom, with horizontal stripes or a painted ceiling to draw the eye off the size of the room.  Paint is also a cheap and easy update to make in any room.
2. An open shower is an idea that has been utilized by Europeans for a very long time.  With some extra waterproofing measures you can eliminate the shower door and fit a shower into the smallest of bathrooms.  It will also give you a different unique look.
3. Installing great floor tile can shift the rooms focal pint onto the ground.  Drawing the eye to the floor takes away from the cramped space and changes the focus.
4. Unused wall space can be taken up with built in cabinets or shelves.  This allows you to store toiletries, reading materials or anything else without taking up any floor space.
5. Mirrors!  Adding a mirror to a small space is the oldest trick in the book, because it works!  This creates an illusion of doubling the space.  When combined with good lighting mirrors can really make a small cramped room feel much larger. 

Bell Mirror & Glass can help create and install any type of mirror or custom glass for your bathroom, or any other room in your house.  Like us on Facebook for plenty of great ideas and tips for your home.

The placement of a mirror in a selected space can depict how the room looks for better or worse. Mirrors are way more versatile then we actually think they are, they can act as one of the best tools for an owner with a small space.

There are numerous ways to place and adjust mirrors to make your space look nicer, here are some ways you can do that:

1) Group them together: Smaller mirrors are a lot cheaper then large mirrors, so buy a few small ones and group them on the wall in the same place.
2) Turn them on their side: This trick works best with long skinny mirrors, it makes any wall look longer instantly.
3) Floor length: Floor length mirrors are great ways to make any space feel taller. Their long shape draws the eye up and carrying it around the room, making any space feel lighter and brighter.
4) Layer them up: By making an entire wall mirrored and then adding smaller, defined mirrors on top, not only are you creating a larger more open-feeling space, but you'll also be giving depth to the space without weighing things down.
5) Fake-mirrored furniture: You can fake expensive designer prices and simply use a glasscutter and mirrored tile found at a hardware store. It’s a lot cheaper with results that can be quite amazing.
