Etsy Mirrors

Mirrors are one of those taken-for-granted home accessories that you don't really think about until you need one. Case in point: we just replaced our closet doors, which were mirrored, and while I hated the dated look of the sliding mirrored doors, having a full-length mirror was very convenient.

Vintage Mirrors and Artwork by London Designer Huw Griffith

People these days have a terrible habit of painting and lacquering beautiful old mirrors, tables, and desks to give them "a modern update." On the other end of the spectrum, you have your shabby chic enthusiasts who rub and scrape up pieces of furniture in perfectly good condition to give them "the vintage look."
