Porcupine Quill Mirror at Horchow

We're not sure exactly what it is we love about this mirror so much, but we've recently decided it's the perfect accent piece for making a big statement without taking up much space....

Golden Lilypad Mirror

We love mirrors, and try to put them in as many rooms as possible in our house. No, not because we're vain, but because of the way they reflect light and their surroundings. This Golden Lilypad Mirror...

Geometric Mirror at Pottery Barn

When we think geometric, we think straight lines, angles and symmetry. This mirror is none of that, and reminds us that circles are geometric too. The asymmetrical pattern also just looks like soap ...

Look!: Our Painted Yellow Mirror

We at AT:SF have been on a bit of a yellow mirror kick lately, and here's the latest edition, courtesy of our weekend painting bonanza....

Factory Mirrors in the Sundance Catalog

Simple and beautiful, period. We've all by now seen window frames turned into mirrors, and we know this can be a rewarding and unique DIY project with a great salvage or flea market find. Sundance ...

Look!: Painted Mirror

We loved the detailing on this mirror we picked up from the Alameda Flea Market last month, but it was just a little too traditional for the space we wanted to hang it in. A few quick coats of spray p...

Captain's Mirror by BDDW at The Gardener

Perusing The Gardener's website, we were surprised to come upon this Captain's Mirror. Surprised because we really loved it when we saw it last month at BDDW in New York (in fact, this is our kinda c...

SF Good Questions: Ideas for Painting My Huge Mirror?

Dear AT:SF, Yesterday I was headed out to the bus stop (running a teensy bit late) when what do I see leaning against a telephone just half a block from my apartment? A HUGE mirror! I've had an eye ou...

Soda Can Mirrors by Kathy Taylor Gray

Of all the ways to reuse a soda can for home decoration, we love how Kathy Taylor Gray has managed to abstract the colors and designs of these imminently recognizable brands for a mirror frame that ...

SF Good Questions: What Can I Do With This Old Gilded Mirror?

Hi everyone, While leaving my yoga class in Northpoint on Saturday morning, I came across a woman on Larkin with an open garage and a lot of funky items for sale. The mirror attached just called out t...

Architectural Wooden Mirror from Flutter

A mirror used in the right place can really pull a room together. We love this Architectural Wooden Mirror from Flutter - what a statement it would make in an entry or above a fireplace; we could even...

Boatwood Mirror from VivaTerra

We have a friend who's talking about moving to a boat. While the idea seems romantic (salty air, an open horizon, the freedom of the open seas,) we're a little too claustrophobic and sensitive to mot...

LED Mirror Clock from Kikkerland

We like to keep a small clock on the bathroom vanity so that we can keep track of the time while blow drying our hair or putting on makeup in the morning. The LED Mirror Clock from Kikkerland solves t...

West Elm's Deep Framed Mirror

We've always liked West Elm's deep framed mirror - it's simple and classic but the shelf-like frame gives it a little something else. While we've seen this mirror in entries and bedrooms, we actually...

Burl Slice Mirror from Roost

We remember the days when gnarly lacquered tree trunk coffee tables were what all our cool friends' parents had. These days a huge piece like that seems a bit much, but the little hits of gnarl the...

Wire Capiz Sunburst Wall Mirror from Target

We are officially, thoroughly enjoying Target's Global Bazaar. Just one of the many reasons is this mirror -- rusty, oddly-patina-ed versions of which we spot from time to time in our local flea mark...

Close-Up!: Molly's Mirrors

We're really drawn to Molly Meng's use of mirrors in her House Call. The display of vintage "looking glasses" is an easy way to showcase a collection and reflect light -- especially in a small spac...

Look!: Antika's Midcentury Mirrors

Antika has been on the scene for a while now as a dealer of a well-edited selection of antiques in Greenwood (Seattle). A couple of weeks ago they started advertising on Craigslist, and the lure was ...

One Bravo Stadium Mirror from Contemporary Heaven

We're currently looking for a mirror for our bathroom. We like the unusual proportions of this one -- narrow, but not full length; we imagine it would frame us tightly from the hips up like a good po...

Cut-Glass Mirrors from C & S Acosta

Not like our beautiful faces weren't enough. We like how embellished mirrors add more to a wall than just a, well, mirror-image of yours truly and the facing room. The selection of cut-glass mirror...

Zoe Circle Wall Mirror Set

It can be a nice shortcut when things come in sets. If you've lived in an apartment woefully short on windows and long on awkward stretches of blank walls as we have, it can be intimidating to st...
