So I have been struggling with an idea for my dining room for over a year now I think... I just could not decide what it was that I wanted to do. I have this weird window that makes the wall kind of hard to decorate. I have debated over vintage doors, vintage mirrors, starburst mirrors all kinds of art and I just could not commit to any one thing. So it finally has come to an end- I needed to fix it and then things just seem to fall into line. It's always so nice when that happens. I found this picture on Pinterest the other day and fell deeply in love!
I painted the walls in there Restoration Hardware Slate which I LOVE but the mirror I picked was just not doing it for me. So I think I am going to give the vintage mirror/frame collage idea a go. I originally had a reclaimed wood mirror collage. So the clincher was when I received an email from a reader who owns a company that makes beautiful antiqued mirrors (which I have been searching for someone for a long time). Leftbank Collection makes all types of antiqued mirrors which is perfection for this little project of mine as I can vary the style of the mirrors so they look collected over time and I can fit them to some vintage frames too.
I have always wanted to do this somewhere.. now I just have to find the right spot!
I love love the plain jane mirror here... so me! I will definitely need to use one of these.
I am so excited!!! I am going to see what I can find at the flea market over the next few months and fill in from there.

you know what a mirror gal I am so I love this as well. great idea to find old frames; I was thinking the same thing. can't wait to see what you come up with...donna
love this idea; I pulled some pages from a French magazine with similar images but have to pin them.
So you will mix random, found vintage with custom? That sounds perfect!
Inspiration dahhling it really is everywhere! Good luck on your new project.
I would like to use antiqued mirror as a backsplash in my kitchen. I have gray cabinets and wood countertops, stainless steel appliances. Do you think this would look to 80's ? I'm burnt on subway tiles and everything else that's out there. What do you think? Should I go for it?
Love this! Magnificent. :)
Definitely!
At Christmas, we did a huge wall with a collage of mirrors—some round, some square, some tall and thin—and between them, we strung whimsical feathers, with birds... we did not want to take it down!
Lovely inspiration—enjoy the new project, and putting it all together :)
Hope you are having a great weekend.
