Mirror, Mirror

January 6th, 2010

Over the past several years I’ve been collecting antique gold mirrors that I found at flea markets. They’re all different shapes and sizes in various conditions, but that’s what makes the collection so special. Yesterday I finally got around to arranging them and hung them up on our red wall (something I’ve been meaning to do since August 2008). They add such a regal touch and I love how the detailed edges really pop.

That’s it! You’re officially my hero! I recently started my own mirror collection (I have a total of 2!) and it’s really inspiring to see how amazing it will look once I amass a whole bunch of them. And using the tape to mark off the area you wanted to fill? Genius!

This is lovely! I like how in one picture your reflection is seen in one of the mirrors.

Very inspiring and each mirror has this vintage yet modern feel to it. That red is gorgeous.

It’s the simplest thing and I’m (only slightly) embarrassed to admit it but using the tape for guide lines? Genius.

Oops. As in, it didn’t even occur to me.
Again. Genius.

Beautiful! i’ve done something similar with empty photo frames as its such a great way to liven up and break up coloured spaces.

Emily, love your blog! You might want to be careful with old mirrors. They carry the energy and memory of their old owners.
