Good Questions: Similar, Smaller Mirror?

Reef has a request: "I am looking for a mirror to go above our fireplace mantel. I love the geometric mirror from Pottery Barn but it's too big. Does anyone know of something similar that's slightly smaller in scale? The wall above the mantel is 48" wide. Thanks!"

This one is easy! Last week, we posted these Porthole Round Mirrors from VivaTerra. Unlike the large mirror from Pottery Barn, these mirrors are separate and can be arranged to fit your space...

Does any one else have some suggestions for Reef?

Aluminum mirrors from CB2. If you want a darker frame color - I recently spray painted an aluminum metal frame to a broze color using spray paint from Home Depot and the results were good.

I was going to suggest the same thing caw261 did! I don't think you'll find anything that comes much closer!

Thanks guys,

I had considered the cb2 ones, but you're right caw261, I want something less polished looking. I hadn't thought of spray paint. The viva terra ones are lovely too, but I'm looking for something with a more industrial look. I'd also love them to be attached to each other. I think it'll be a long search or perhaps a trip to a metal shop.

These are sharp. Is there something similar to the PB one, same size, just cheaper?
