I have to admit that when I spot a beautiful mirror at a tag sale or flea market my heart beats a little faster. I stealthily move toward it like a wild cat hunting it's prey. Ok, I'm obsessed with mirrors! But who can blame me? They have a silvery shimmer that bounces light around the room, perfect to open up a small space. The shape of the frame is unlimited. Unlike traditional artwork, mirrors are beautiful whether they are round, square, ornate or simple. I don't have a lot of "things" hanging on my walls because I'm very particular and on a tiny budget. Two circumstances that don't usually live well together. However, I can indulge in mirrors to my heart's content. What about you? Do you use mirrors as artwork?
Don't limit mirrored surfaces to the wall!
A grouping of smaller mirrors can have the same impact as a large one.
Flea market finds turned into art.
A collection can look well thought out when grouped together and it's so fun to find more!

ReplyDeleteJust a fabulous post Tanya! I'm particularly taken with the 2nd image of that incredible mirrored dressing table & everything on it - can't take my eyes away from it.
ReplyDeleteMillie ^_^
I know what you mean Millie. I really like how the b&w pictures are tucked in all around the mirror also. :)
ReplyDeleteI love mirrors.. stop by and see my post - i think it from last month.. sMILES!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that I'm not the only one that loves mirrors as much as (or more than) artwork!
ReplyDeleteOOOHHHH! I LOVE LOVE LOVE mirrors... I have them everywhere I possibly can. I love how they open and brighten a room!
ReplyDeleteI love mirrors too. I've been collecting little round ones and didn't know what to do with them until I saw your post. Thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteJessica, I would love to see a picture when you get them on the wall!
ReplyDeleteYes, I definitely use mirrors in decorating...our flooded wooden floors in the den have been replaced so now I can put the room back together. I stand a tall mirror in a gold frame on the floor and love it. I bought it years ago for $15.00 and have seen others for $300.00.
