MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL

Mirrors are said to be a reflection of the soul. People probably first started to look at their reflections in pools of water, streams and rivers which were the first mirrors. Some of the first man made mirrors were found in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) dating from 6,000 BC. As ElleDecor puts it, mirrors can serve many interior-decorating purposes. Here are a few interesting finds I came across on the internet for your enjoyment:

This gold vintage mirror is so adorable, I would love to have one like this in my dressing room. I love the touch of femininity with the draped pearls and flowers over the top and the notes tucked in at the bottom, I'm all about personalization!

Genius way to create an interesting entryway space. I have a rule to always check myself before I go out the door, you know make sure the hair is in place, no lipstick on the teeth and whatnot. The placement of this mirror couldn't be more perfect, it's so convenient!

What a great way to make a dining room wall more interesting besides the predictable rectangular wall mirror or framed art.

If you are a fan of the more rustic look this is pretty neat. It's a great way to add some pop to a wall where you don't have a lot going on. It instantly draws you in. And for only $1,695.00 you can have your very own Cathedral Wood Mirror here.

Since I live in a coastal town I am a big fan of sea shells and starfish. This mirror is so eye catching and can be the focal piece in a room with plain walls behind it. 

If you are going for more of a Moroccan theme in your room, this one if for you! I love the subtle orange calla lilies at the bottom which contrast nicely against the teal blue. If I ever open up a bed and breakfast (a dream of mine) this will be the theme of one of the rooms!  

I like this oval mirror placed between the two rectangular windows. It's a great use of space and I wouldn't have thought to place the couch in front of it which covers the bottom but I am totally digging it.

I am obsessed with geometric patterns. I think it all started when my friends Mom Margaret Holden who would babysit me when I was younger would hand make pages of different geometric shapes and have us color them in. This laser-cut white mirror against the grey wall really pops.

Two words...statement piece. If I had a room big enough in my house I would have this. This works better with high ceilings. How did they get that in the door?

I believe this is two mirrors stacked  on top of each other. I am really liking the old rustic, distressed, wood frame makes it look antiqued. I am a fan of vintage.

And finally here is a beautiful bathroom mirror. It's a pretty simple pewter mirror but the hammered texture is what makes it so stunning.

I don’t know about you but when it comes to a home accessory like a mirror I like to scout those items out when I am on my travels whether it is at a boutique store in Newport, RI or a craft fair in our very own town it’s fun to find something unique that will get people talking about it when it's on display in your home and then you can tell them the story behind where you found it!
