Mirror Mirror Wall

I can honestly say there was no inspiration behind this- it just started happening and it’s my favourite feature in our flat…

We started off with a couple of mirrors we picked up in the tip – we decided to put them in the narrow corridor to give the illusion of more space.
The first mirror up is our trophy piece – its an old gilt bathroom extendable shaving mirror and looks so great against the wall- very quirky, very us!

We then started collecting with the ethos that everything on our mirror wall had to to be free or very cheap from a charity shop, car boot sale etc.
The first thing I tend to do when I start a project in ransack my parents house and see if I can ‘borrow’ anything unsused… a couple of hours after a delicious Sunday roast ala my mum we were leaving with another 2 mirrors and excited ‘we’re going to need the electric screwdriver” grins!

Ignore the mess in the reflection I’m decluttering!

So up goes another and that week I found 2 identical Mucha inspired mirrors in our local charity shop for £2 each that soon joined it.
(Thanks to Vanessa Plaister for reminding me it was Mucha not Toulouse Lautrec – annoyingly I always thought this but someone told me otherwise!!)

Stephen is very good at placing… I don’t think it would look half as good if I did chose the positions myself.

All the others have all come from our original plan – giveaways or very cheap and the most recent came from a very happy trip to Battersea Car Boot Sale where we got this for £2:
