River Mirrors by Caryn Moberly

We were really inspired by the raw slab window bench in Jasmine's whole-home makeover. While these mirrors would be a wildly ambitious DIY project, they're quite unique, and perhaps not impossible to recreate.

At first we thought the mirror was somehow poured into a channel of a single piece of burled, slab wood, but on closer inspection we can see that two very thin pieces are mounted to the rectangular mirror underneath.

I think they're beautiful. I hate the way they're shot with the reflection of the rafters, though.

gorgeous, but few homes could pull them off well.

I think they're gorgeous- they manage to combine a very modern rectangular shape with a wild natural form.

I can't imagine trying to use these vertically- too swimmy, yikes.

However- why not position them horizontally on top of a very sleek and modern buffet cabinet? What a neat element for a formal dining room- especially behind a sophisticated bar set up.

wow. wow. I want one made with beach bleached wood, hung horizontally, on a flat white wall. I'm going to DIY this, or at least try to, this summer.
