Vintage mirrors also can be quite a talking point when used in ways unexpected, whether it be in smaller groupings -

I have collected quite a few vintage mirrors over the years and I love having them displayed around my home. Maybe there are those of you out there that also have your own collections, or maybe you now feel inspired to start collecting!
Happy Wednesday and remember -

hello Stephie:
ReplyDeleteWe love having mirrors about the house as they are so wonderful at reflecting light and transforming it into a myriad of interesting and intriguing colours and shapes.
The images you show here are full of ideas and we especially like the way that vintage mirrors are used in a variety of settings. We shall shamelessly copy!!
Love these! My husband doesn't like having mirrors in our home so I've only snuck in a couple. But up to me, our fireplace would look just like photo #1!

ReplyDeleteI love mirrors because they reflect the light.
ReplyDeleteI also love the different frames, especially very big mirrors with gorgeous frames. I Have mirrors on pretty much every wall in my house! I really enjoyed this post.
Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog. I can really relate to your swimming cossie struggle, and the horror of the walk to the pool... I find that really difficult too. It's sad how hard we can be on ourselves isn't it? Sending hugs, Em x
