Remember last week when I wrote about trying to find wall art? Well, when I was visiting my parents this weekend, I picked up this sweet little mirror to get things started. This mirror always hung in my great aunt Mable’s house above her laundry room sink. My mom picked it up for me at her estate auction and now it hangs as wall decor in our bedroom.
This mirror is from the 60s, and on the back it says it’s made by Hamilton of Indiana, Inc. I think that’s pretty cool that it’s a vintage and local piece! I wasn’t able to find much about this company or other mirrors by them, but I did find a listing for the same exact mirror on Charlotte’s Craigslist. Kind of random!
I really like the idea of having a group of mirrors together on a wall, so maybe I’ll collect a couple more to hang around this one. Here’s some Pinterest inspiration:
Anyone else love mirrors as wall art?
I love the idea of a collection of mirrors on the wall – yours would be a great one to start a little collection around.

Yes! Now I need to start hunting for more mirrors…
I have to say I feel a little neutral as I see both the advantage and the down side at the same time. It’s really pretty during day time as they reflect light and make the room seems bigger. However, it might look a little spooky when it’s at night and I’m all alone…
If you finished your mirror wall art, could you show me a picture at night and how they might look like? Maybe it’s just me…Q_Q

Hahaha, I hadn’t thought about it being creepy, but I can see where you’re coming from. I tend to get spooked easily, too!
I love mirror wall art, and would actually love to do that when I have my own place
Have a beautiful day

I love mirrors as wall art! I have a large gilded mirror in my living room and I can’t forget the one at the entryway to my apartment. They’re aesthetically pleasing and they come in handy when you need that last minute looksie before walking out the door!
