Mirror Envy


I have mirror envy. Of no mirror in particular. Just mirrors of all shapes and sizes, any sort of frame, both new and old.


I was reminded of this on my long walk home today from the Holden service centre where I had to take my car to be fixed (flat battery + electrical problem = $$$ and no car for the time being!!) when I popped into a mirror shop I had been wanting to visit for ages but had only ever passed in my car.


And wow, I was dazzled. As I wandered through the shop I 'bought' a mirror for every room in the house. Not because I think we should all be primping and preening ourselves but because I love the look of them and how they can become like pieces of art.

Do you love mirrors too? What are your favourites?

  1. I am a big fan of mirrors for wall decor. A great way of dressing your room without adding more colour which is sometimes essential.

  2. Yes, I like collections of vintage mirrors on a wall, or one massive vintage gilt one leaning against a wall (in my dreams). The starburst ones are very pretty too. :)

  3. Yes, I love mirrors too - especially groups of several together. They just instandly add a bit of sparkle, light and a different perspective.

  5. My favorite design right now would have to be the starburst. Gotta love that mid century modern!

    I just stumbled across your blog for the first time and thought I would say hello! I looked through a few of your posts and love your style. I love blogs that follow a specific journey like yours with your house.

    I'm a blogger as well, about the world of art, but my history is in interior design and fashion. I love to hear what people are saying! Hope we get to see more of each other in the future.
