apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

it would look nice gold. or dark teal.

Loves it.

Half of me is yelling "Paint it shiny hot pink!"

The other half is having a 1970s flashback about the class connotations of curly plastic mirror frames.

how big is it?

For Ikea, that's surprisingly nice. It's not my style but I agree it's a great find. Maybe one of these days Ikea will catch up with Tarjay. ;->

Mirror, mirror on the wall... looks like an evil snow white mirror. Love it in black... think as a mirror it might be a cool face-framer... re: size.. web link indicates overall dims as 23.24" wide (man, that's almost 2 feet !... loving it more as a mirror) and 33.5" tall ... yum.

Oh, if you paint this white, you might want to do the crackle paint. I mean white is almost shabby chic anyway, and the style looks vintage so crackle paint would seem to be a good fit. If you like that sort of thing, that is.

how very akea. i kinda like it...

I've had one of these sitting in a closet for close to a year now waiting for a coat of spray paint (I've been thinking bright green)! Thanks for the reminder...I'm adding it to the project list for this weekend.

i bought one of these to turn it into a bulletin board. it came out fabulous.

Mmmm, bright red laquer.

I LIKE THE IDEA OF AN BULLITIN BOARD! :)

Parrot green, swimming pool blue, bright white, tangerine or coral.

Do you think I have Summer on the brain?! Or maybe just Miami homesick.

P2, I like your color names :)

Love it! Reminds me of the "My Brothers Frame" from Harry Allen.

I've been looking for something like this. How big is it? I have a large square unframed mirror in my bathroom and want to hang a white oval frame over it.

This mirror's hideous. IKEA's definitely headed in a wrong direction with this one.

blkbrrry, any chane we can see of picture of your bulletin board it sounds liek a great idea.

nice typing job, and to think i was worried i spelled bulletin wrong

It looks like a plastic IKEA mirror.

vertigo... those back-to-back comments made me laugh. I needed a chuckle. Thanks!

You could make a wacky picture frame with it too.

foog,
i thought it looked like an evil snow white mirror too- but i think i'd enjoy throwing my head back and doing a loud evil laugh before going out into the world every morning!

I painted mine as well! I nearly stole this off the walls of one of the mock-up living rooms when I first saw it. They hadn't started selling them yet and it was really hard to wait until they did.

An unusual choice for IKEA, but well played and appreciated.

I'm not into this mirror at all. Why not buy an antique mirror at a flea market and put some paint on it?

If I remember correctly, it's not a mirror. It's just the frame. If you want a mirror, you have to purchase that separately. And I think they don't sell a mirror that fits this frame.

Yeah, my parents had a plastic mirror in the 70s/80s. So, I'm not all that into the plastic "faux metal" look for mirrors.

i think it' be cute in a bright red or yellow.
