Desire/Aquire: BBDW Captain's Mirror
I featured the BBDW Captain's Mirror as a Crave Worthy over a year ago, as well as a Found It! in March, and I still think it's the most handsome mirror I've ever seen. Owning it would be like being married to the dapper Donald Draper — kind of.
Cool Idea: Everything in One Hue
Melanie, of the fabulous Etsy shop Plum Cushion, lives in a seriously stylish 1941 Cape Cod in Seattle. The bones of her home are nice, but it's her cool palette and ability to modernize vintage pieces that really make it hip. One of my favorite elements was how she painted her Rococo sconces and mirror and her Chinoiserie console table to match the blue of her walls.
Etsy Finds: Antique Mirrors
These days, most trends are historically referential, be it in fashion, furniture, or even finance. But when it comes to mirrors, all the trends I've been spying as of late have been deeply rooted in the past. Think starburst mirrors, Rococo mirrors, tri-fold mirrors.
Roundup: Sunburst Mirrors
I've been over sunburst mirrors for a long time now. But as other trends gain precedence, they've slowly returned to my favor. I'm really digging how the mirror in this bedroom is used.
Found It! Bella's New Moon Ornate Floor Mirror
In behind-the-scenes photos from the upcoming and highly buzzed New Moon, Bella Swan's bedroom boasts a fancy ornate wooden floor mirror, in addition to beautiful flocked bedding. Another photo from the set suggests that it may actually be a mirror that attaches to a dresser. But for the sake of the illusion, I hunted down a similar ornate wooden floor mirror for you.
Found It! Opulent Feather Mirror
I spotted this mirror in the portfolio of über talented designer-to-the-stars Kishani Perera and felt a sharp pang of design envy. Not only is the mirror seriously opulent, it's a showstopper that I'd kill to have in my home. On second thought, I'd seen it before.
Love It or Hate It? A Wall of Mismatched Mirrors
In this very eclectic living room, which I think belongs to photographer Debi Treloar, one wall is adorned with an arrangement of mismatched ornate gold mirrors in varying shapes and sizes. In general, I feel like it's hard to go wrong with a mirror. Here, I think the disparity of the mirrors works with the room's sort of lost-and-found vibe.
Casa Quickie: Double Your Pleasure
Once you've taken steps to make your cut flowers last longer, you might as well make the most of them while they're lookin' good. Once you've put them in a chic vase, set it in front of a mirror! For the price of one bouquet, this trick will give your arrangement the visual presence of two.
Cool Idea: Cabinet Door Mirror
In a Sydney home tour shot by photographer Todd Selby, I noticed this old cabinet door — check out the knobs in the center behind the plant — repurposed as a mirror, and love the look of it. I've seen old windows repurposed in plenty of ways (see here and here), but never a door. On second thought, this could be a window that opens outward.
Love It or Hate It? A Mirror Facing the Bed
After I rearranged my bedroom recently, a friend of mine said with a wink, "Oh, so the mirror's facing the bed." I hadn't even thought about that arrangement until she called it out. While my boudoir is a bit too small to try to keep the bed out of full-length mirror's view, there are many couples who find it advantageous to "reflect" on events in this room.
