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

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.

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
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.

Indeed. What's he doing interfering with the wife?
Mary
I'd rather watch paint dry. Why is it that Dentists, doctors, etc always assume the "blokes" only want to read car mags? Is it because no car mag is worth keeping so they get everyones cast-offs?

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.
Mary
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.

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