Wall of Mirrors

We've been doing some redecorating lately and here is something fun for you to look at. Sean's been working on this project for months now. He'll find old frames at work or on the street or make them or add to already existing ones. Each one has a bit of a story. And then he'll get some mirror glass to put in it or black glass. He put them all up last weekend and I'm sure more will join in the future. We spent a lot of time rearranging them on the floor, trying to figure out the best configuration. It is good times.

I kind of have a nice rule of thumb. It is this: Instead of feeling the need to put up crappy art on your wall, put a mirror. One might think we're vain to have so many mirrors on the wall. And one might be right. I consider it more of a display of the frame. It's an art piece, whatever it is. And I enjoy looking at it.

Here's the before wall.



And the after wall.

I love how you were able to stick out your left hand so it reflects in that one mirror. It's that attention to detail that keeps everybody coming back to your blog.
