Mirrors: Botox for Wrinkled Rooms

Mea Culpa-
Holy Moly- what I've been through just to get you a post!  Sorry for the delay.  I've missed you! Don't give up on me, baby.

Mirrors Are Magic
I love me some mirrors! Mirrors are my favorite accessory for staging. I collect 'em in all sizes, styles and frames.  Mirrors are crazy amazing for making any area in a house ooze appeal.  And, mirrors are a big bang for the buck. Of course, their reflective power is great for increasing light in a room.


Hocus Pocus: Mirrors create the illusion of more space.

Funky and Fun Mirrors

Check out these mirrors now on sale on the Joss and Main website. Talk about a pop of color and a design statement! I can see these mirrors in an entry, power room, a girl's room or one of those McMansion master closets. The price of these mirrors blows me away.  The sale price is $279.95, reduced from $562.38 (or that's the price that has a line drawn through it).  For heaven's sake, the frames are resin!

Here is a funky mirror I bought at a consignment shop for $16.  Looks kinda like the ones above, no?  (Talk about funky, I tried to wiggle out of the shot and managed to get the reflection of  the top of my outdoor umbrella.)

What funky color do you think I should paint my find?  (I'm leaning towards turquoise....)  I want it to look fun and fresh.  Love to hear your suggestion!
(I have no idea why this print is so small I am hitting the Publish button and will figure it out later!)

Thanks so very, very much for reading my blog and hanging with me during technical issues!

    1. Thanks for your vote Nichole. I hope I can find a good turquoise in spray paint.

  3. I vote turquoise too, Linda. Funny. I just picked up a funky mirror at a thrift store yesterday. Not quite as ornate as yours. But I was also thinking of painting it turquoise. I think we both did well at our thrifting. No way would I pay over $200 for a resin mirror.

  4. Turquoise would be super fun. I think the print was small because it was under "add caption" part?

    1. Linda, I tried to get out of the caption and it kept defaulting to it....I'm trying to figure out why I can't do the simpliest things! It happened again today when I posted. THANKS for your comment. If you can figure out what I'm still doing wrong let me know.
