apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I think it's Hot.

Gotta ask... how did they hold up during today's earthquake???

Germany didn't have an earthquake, LA did.

i'm with alexPDL first thing I thought of was earthquakes!

i would not recommend this to anyone living in or around LA. i have several large floor mirrors leaning against the wall in my living room and they didn't have any damage, but some of my vases and all of my large framed Pierre Verger B&W photos came crashing down! i am very close to the epicenter - what a freakin' ride...

There was an earthquake in Germany today?

I don't know...mirrors on the ceiling remind me of a cheap motel with a waterbed....not that I've ever been to one of those places mind you!

For a restaurant, I love it! Especially with those whimsical pink chairs.

really like the mirrored ceiling idea, having seen it done quite successfully in an entry foyer and a dining room. in both cases it was wall to wall with great hanging lighting. this, however, is a busy mess.

This is not a bust mess...it's fabulous! Wall to wall ceiling mirrors are so 1974 Vegas...This is fresh.
With Liquid Nails and a lifetime commitment I think it would be "safe" anywhere. Bravo for thinking outside of the box!

This is beyond bad feng shui--it's a contender for a Darwin Award.

It makes me uneasy at this vantage point, looks a little higher than eye level in the picture and the perspective is a little too dramatic. Really what I read is "flying shapes into the horizon" and I don't know if they're flying over me or if I'm flying under them, about to hit the 'specials' pole. Maybe it is the dark sage (?) color on the ceiling that matches the walls, it's probably going to be difficult to paint that a color that works better, huh, but it induces the illusion. Standing on the ground, it would probably look all the better, I mean as far as gimmicks like this tend to go. Restaurants are allowed to do things you should never try at home.

it gives me vertigo

you earthquake fearers... are you also afraid of your ceiling drywall falling on you? your ceiling lamps? your ceiling lights?? In L.A. i suppose you should.

otherwise, c'mon. if something is put up properly (no sticky tape, kids) you will likely be fine.

if you have chosen to live in an earthquake zone, you might reconsider many things; like moving.

gotta spell it out sometimes.

foog - you read my mind!

I love this, but so cal is not the place to try it!.....maybe I will experiment with large empty frames??

I think mirrors on the ceiling are great when mounted under a chandelier. They intensify the light by reflecting it back toward the floor and can make spectacular light effects.

I think this is fantabulous! Thank goodness someone is experimenting and trying new things!

Do not want. But the Ice T comment really made me crack up.
