These funky, ornate vintage (or vintage-inspired) mirrors would look terrific in a range of bathroom styles, from eclectic to traditional to sleek modern. In fact, I think my favorite combination is to put an ornate vintage mirror in a very modern bathroom. Instant character.
Some of the mirrors below are small and would only suit a small powder room, while others are quite large. Some are a steal, while others are pretty pricey. But none are dull! Our post Design Details: Bathroom Mirrors Done Right really underscored how much fun a cool bathroom mirror can be.

Love them! The Talon hall mirror looks similar to what I call my 'snow white' mirror.

I am so glad that having a sheet of mirror that covers the entire wall from the vanity to the ceiling and corner to corner is no longer the norm. Who wants to see that much of themselves? I have ripped out the wall mirrors out of both of my bathrooms and hung much more appealing oval mirrors. They make the bathrooms feel calmer.
@highlander403: so true! Brutal to wake up to seeing your entire body and face in all of it's glory!
ha!
I've got one similar to #2.
I believe you can achieve most of these at a thrift store and spraying it any color you want.
I too removed all my over-size mirros in the bathroom and vanity area and put my more decorative ones with fun frames.
I'm using those larger ones in part of my garage I use as a mini gym.
#2 looks a lot like my Ung Drill mirror from IKEA: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40213759/
Nice collection you put together there! Howard Elliott's custom paint program can provide colors that really pop. Case in point the Purple Veruca Wall Mirror. Your readers may want to know that many other glossy colors are available on that particular mirror and others. In fact, we sold a Veruca Mirror today in Hot Pink!
What LYONSTILL said. The original medicine cabinet mirror in my circa 1915 apartment is hazy and spotted. I bought a horrible fake-bronze, plastic-frame mirror with a lovely floral pattern at Sal Army for $1.69. 2 tubes of craft paint to match the aqua and grass green on the shower curtain. Lively punch of color! Hung it right over the existing mirror.
@PoeticFrenzy, how did you hang the new mirror over the old medicine cabinet? Somehow I don't think Command strips are going to be the answer here.
@KMK355 -- creative low-tech... There's a picture hanger with "teeth" on the back of this mirror. I screwed two small eye-hooks into the wood on the inside of the medicine cabinet door, then looped a string through each of the eye-hooks and around the hanger-teeth. Tied the knots on the inside of the cabinet. The string is thin enough that the cabinet door can still latch closed. I also put cork strips on the back of the new mirror's frame so it doesn't bang against the mirror in the medicine cabinet when I close the door. The new mirror happens to be about the same size as the medicine cabinet door. And, it's not very heavy.
I LOVE THEM ALL! Yes...in all caps!
