A Mirror for the Living Room

These old pieces from dressers come in the most ambitious shapes. I've got my eye on a perfectly round one next.


This one is three feet high and two feet wide. I love the way the reflected vignettes change, according to where you stand.


And it's just the right amount of over the hill. A chipped corner. A mist blooming. A darkened spot.

  2. Gorgeous! I've had it in mind to get more mirrors in - light is incredibly important in northern England - and now it's a certainty!

  4. Beautiful photos! Such pretty peachy colors all together.

    in my darkish house, mirrors are a salvation. I do have a perfectly round one hanging next to our coat closet for quick peeks at hats and hair before we go.

  5. My mother has an oval, bevel-edge mirror that belonged to my great-grandmother. Starry and silvery. Such charm!

    I've been following your blog for a while. Just want you to know that I enjoy it so! Lovely.

  6. Vintage mirrors are lovely with their reflected stories that they never tell but we can imagine.
