Nope...didn't think so!
Did you think I'd gone all philosophical on you...I am capable of that you know...I've been to big school!!
Now, back to business...do you have a favourite mirror?
all images found by typing in venetian mirrors here. Not one little bit of rocket science involved!
Ooh - they're gorgeous!! I love the one resting on that mirrored table. We don't have any particularly interesting mirrors here but when we renovate our main bathroom one day, I'd love a fancy mirror :)
ReplyDeleteoooooooh...you have me drooling over here!! those mirrors are so gorgeous and glam looking!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in on my little giveaway!
I'm your newest follower :)
Dear Kerry, As your images suggest, the Venetian mirror can be placed almost anywhere to great effect and, indeed, it does look very attractive in the bathrooms you have shown. In fact, for myself, I should prefer to site one somewhere slightly unexpected where its ornamentation might come as something of a surprise. The kitchen might be rather fun.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question, I possibly prefer the somewhat plainer C19 or earlier convex mirrors. In British houses, by tradition, one is always placed in the dining room to enable the servants to see the entire table magnified without looking directly. Imagine what this would do for the Vampire Slayer!! A lioness, no less!!
Gorgeous Images. My favorite is the one over the blue dresser, i am somewhat new to decorating and did not know these were called venetian mirrors, very interesting, Thanks!!!! Love your posts
ReplyDeleteHi Kerry, so much inspiration in this lovely post. The first two pictures are adorable, love love the colors, That pink chair would be just perfect over here in MY room ;)
ReplyDeleteSending a big hug your way! xo
As you proved, they look fabulous anywhere! But I have to agree with Edith Hope . . . they look best where one might least expect one. I think I need one now.
ReplyDeletemirror nr.5 must be my favorite! but in "real life" I prefer much simpler styles, with wooden frames.

I just sold one because I couldn't find anywhere to put it...that is a sad reflection of my decorating skills! Rachaelxx
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, this post is spectacular! That first image was the image that inspired me to use venetian mirrors in my bathrooms. I found it the other day while sorting out my builder folder/cupboard! I kept it for posterity. A-M xx
ReplyDeleteEvery single one of those mirrors is amazing! I love all the red in your office!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the kind words and prayers, you are so sweet!
You appear to be right, they look fabulous anywhere!
ReplyDeleteI have a bit of a "thing" for mirrors in general, just running out of walls to hang them on:o)

Well, Kerry,
ReplyDeleteI could think of one place where you can't put a Venetian mirror but, I'd better not say, as I may offend many people !!!!!!!! hahahahaha.
Gorgeous, gorgeous images of the most beautiful rooms, featuring those wonderful Venetian mirrors.
I'm afraid that I have a 'thing' about mirrors. I have lots of them !! Not from a vanity point of view.... I just like them, and the reflective qualities really open up a room.
My favourites are the last two. Love 'em !! XXXX
I love venetian mirrors and I love this post my friend!!! All of these pics are beyond gorgeous and I will now be on the lookout for some venetian mirrors on my travels (what do you think the chances of my local thrift shop having one...no didn't think so!). I do have a favourite mirror in my living room it is an oval pie crust beveled edge mirror that hangs in our living room:) From the pics above, I love the first one it would be perfect in our Isabella's bedroom:) Thanks for some wonderful inspiration Kerry:) Have a wonderful Thursday ~ Tina x
ReplyDeleteooohhh,wow! mirrors and lampshades seem to be my favorite home accessories. they have dual purposes, the aesthetics and its functions...nothing will be wasted with that. thanks so much for dropping by. i will definitely be coming back, i am also a blogaholic...but i dont want to be a recovering one yet! take care and enjoy..maryann
ReplyDeleteI think the mirrors go just about anywhere. Thanks for visiting my blog and the sweet note that you left there. I was looking at your profile and noticed that we like the same music and many of the same books... great minds!
ReplyDeleteThese images are all beautiful. To be honest, I don't think an elaborate venetian mirror would work well in my home though the slightly more simple or darker coloured ones (like the one pictured in the dining room) would be fab.

New follower... very pretty pictures... great style~
ReplyDeleteKerry, beautiful images, difficult to say which one I like best, as I have a bit of a weakness for Venetian mirrors. Nope, had another look and just can't decide, I will have them all please.

ReplyDeleteThese are all gorgeous! I've had my eye on a mirror on Ebay but I had talked myself out of spending the money we can't afford. Now you have just talked me right back into it. Gah!
