These Mirrors Speak to Me.

How splendiferous would the poem from the last post look on an antique gilt mirror?


I feel another DIY project coming on...

If you had a mirror like this, what would it say?

  2. Well, Hello...Sexy! You don't look a day over 35...

    That's what my mirror would say...hopefully!

  3. When house hunting, we looked at the place of an aging music business veteran...who had a mirror in his foyer right at the bottom of the stairs...it said "Damn, I look good..." A little self affirmation as you come down for breakfast every morning...hilarious.

  8. I have a mirror in my front entry with the word SMILE. So its the last thing I see when I leave my house and,if I smile as directed I can make sure my lipstick is not on my teeth :) Now thats something to smile about. And when I return home I can again I smile because I'm home.
    Love them...all

  11. I'm crazy for this idea. In these two instances it's not corny @ all.
    I would write a poem my husband gave to me this past V-Day;

    Love For Love
    Ithers seek they ken na what,
    Features, carriage, and a' that;
    Gie me love in her I court,
    Love to love maks a' the sport.

    Let love sparkle in her e'e;
    Let her lo'e nae man but me;
    That's the tocher-gude I prize,
    There the luver's treasure lies.

    By Robert Burns

    A glorious weekend to you!

  16. hi - thanks for the comment! I don't take the seagrass wall to wall because then it becomes permanent. this way - it's still an area rug, and if it gets damaged it's easily replaced. plus i like it as an area rug. i'm thinking i wish my own was bigger. i might increase it's size!

  17. Oh! I really, really love this idea...a French poem would be the best, need to find a mirror and a wall to do this on1
