Reflect Mirror

10.26.09 mirror 1.jpg We're quite fond of putting a small, sometimes subtle spin on the traditional to make it something new and fresh. These mirrors are a great example...

 
 

10.26.09 mirror 2.jpg The frame of the mirror is nothing new--a gilded ornate molding for a rectangular mirror. But Goody Grams has shaken it up a bit by creating a ledge that is also mirrored, making it seem like the mirror has been bent at a 90 degree angle. It is a simple detail, but we think it gives this mirror a very interesting look. Used as a tray, we can see this being a great entryway mirror. But we really like the way it looks in the corner of a wall or ceiling. It's a bit of unexpected fun--the kind we can really appreciate in a home.

Cute idea but it kinda makes me feel like I took too much of something :)

Seems like bad Feng Shui.

Not even remotely attractive, IMHO.

The photo is a big off--putting, but I'll bet one of these could be good in a small, dark entry, as a landing strip.
