Mirrors are a constant reflection of our design style & Post Apocalyptic Bohemia is filled with them, even outside, plus here & there is a mirror on a mirror. The mirrors reflect & refract the light & help make a small space open up. The mirrors are from many different era is the 31+ years of being a couple, including mirrors that we brought into the relationship, including one from my great grandmother's home in smalltown Illinois.
The newest mirror was assembled by the Husband yesterday from an old red tray & a found hubcap. I really like this one. It appears to me to be rather "Vermeer At The Beach".
A mirror above the headboard reflects outdoor light. A mirror on my side of the bed allows me to see what I am doing when I am... (oops, TMI?). The drapery is new, a bolt of paprika colored, hand stitched silk with tiny mirrors, purchased for a song at a flea market last Sunday. When we got it home, the Husband remarked that he had no idea what it could ever be used for & was possibly a foolish buy. That Husband is resourceful & regardful, he found a way to use it & please me.
Leaning against a wall in the front room is the largest mirror at Post Apocalyptic Bohemia. Dig the mirror on mirror action above the mantle.
Ironically, I never seek my reflection in a mirror. It is too frightening to look in the mirror & see my father staring back.
