You know it's bad when even your mother-in-law suggests it's time you got back to blogging. Truthfully, I didn't mean to disappear for quite so long - but let me tell you, there was a lot of traffic in that tunnel of craft supplies I was digging my way through! But it's been great. Two weeks of feeling really good about the work I've produced. I wish I could show you everything I've been up to in the last two weeks, but alas, it will have to wait until next year.
At any rate, as I'm easing my way back into the day-to-day (blinking in the bright light), I thought I'd bring you a roundup of rooms with mirrors. I tried to select rooms in which the mirror played as much (or more) of a role as anything else in the room. I hope they inspire!
Sunlight dances through this room with its watery green walls and frameless mirrors...I love the feel of this room (or rather, how it makes me feel just looking at this photograph). {via Teenangster}
This room is too formal and decorated for my taste, but the foxed-glass mirror...I want!! {House Beautiful}
Simple, eclectic. But what would this room be without its mirror? {via Simply Seductive}
Another example of a room that's all about the mirror {Source unknown}
Anthropologie always makes me swoon, so it's no surprise that I fell in love with this photo. I like the tightly clustered frames that unify this arrangement of mirrors, giving them more significance than if they'd been scattered along the wall.
Austere and yet suprisingly feminine. I could lounge in here all day. {Source unknown}
Last, but not least, what a great use of vintage finds! {I believe this was either from Country Living or Real Simple.}
It feels good to be back! I hope to see you again tomorrow.
Hi Trish, Some of the vintage ones I find have D rings attached to the back (to either hang with a chain or to place over hidden hooks). But if you don't have D rings on the back, the most common way, I believe, is to use mirror clips. You can usually find those in hardware and home stores. I know frameless mirrors are sometimes hung with adhesive (the oversized type mirrors you find in bathrooms), but it obviously has to be a mirror compliant adhesive, which you'd need to consult a professional about. But for a smaller, temporary installation, I think the clips are the way to go:

Please tell me how you hang the frame less mirrors?
I just cannot figure that out. Thank you
Trish

I love, love, love that bathroom! The shiny silver. OMGosh!!!
I think I need a daily reminder to vote. I have totally forgotten the past several days.

Anthro is my fav store. Aren't you beyond excited there's finally one in NOLA? I really love the room in the 4th picture too. I love the homey-ness of a simple room sometimes.
