Here we are heading into the Fall and Winter holidays…and I think it’s really appropriate to highlight mirrors! They say the eyes are the windows to the Soul…but we have to look in the mirror to see them! Right? Mirrors reflect back to us all those bits and pieces we have hidden and the same holds true in the home! A well placed mirror adds light, depth, expansion and so much character! I love how light bounces off the surface of a mirror and is redirected into other areas of the room adding emphasis where before there was none.
The choices are endless whether you choose to add a mirror to your entryway, living room, bathrooms, hallways or outdoor living areas! They come in so many shapes, colors, sizes and textures…. old and new! Let’s take a look at what I found and I’d love to hear your comments on which ones you find to be the “fairest of them all”!
