For those of you that really value watching the weather (or news or whatever) while you get ready for the day, here's a mirror that will streamline your routine and also make you look like you're ridiculously wealthy. "Seura's television mirror provides a convenient viewing location when it is on, and a non-obtrusive way to hide the television when it is off. When the LCD is activated, the screen is conveniently visible as a window within the mirror. When it's turned off, the LCD is completely hidden from view to allow for a complete mirror reflection." 45x36in, 20in LCD TV (Thanks Lindsey!)

Recently I was visiting the McLeod Residence Gallery in Seattle and had an opportunity to see the piece "McLeod Mirror Series 1: See Yourself in Others, 2007" by the The Barbarian Group (Boston, MA), where your reflection is made up of tiny blocks of color which are actually the images of people who came before you. You can read more about it here or you can see my ultra fancy camera work here (not recommended). LCD screen, web cam, plywood 36”h x 22.5”w x 7.5”d Edition of 100

Recently my entry hall got an update with a new floor mirror, and I can honestly say it makes coming home a nicer experience. It opens up the space, which is really nice in smaller areas. "Oversized mirrors such as the Atlanta Mirror (2003) by Michael Ogura have become affordable, modern-day solutions to many an interior dilemma. With its full-size reflective surface, the Atlanta effectively makes spaces look larger and brighter. The hand brushed stainless steel frame is corrosion resistant and solidly built to lean safely against the wall." 16- and 20-gauge brushed stainless steel; 3/16" glass mirror; 3M VHB adhesive. H 72" W 30" D 2"

Now, let me just say I know this is terribly expensive, but it's also terribly cool, and I'm hoping that there will soon be a more affordable version (I'm almost sure of it because technology is just that way) for us all to have. It's a mirror that accepts SMS messages from a phone! I suppose this is a little more of what we would expect of the 21st century, given that we have high expectations from a childhood cartoon.

"The +336+, designed by Robert Stadler (of the French design group Radi Designers), is a mirror able to receive SMS messages sent from a mobile phone. The messages appear as luminous text, running on the mirrors’ surface when one gets close to the mirror."

Limited edition of 20.

I was just in Seattle this weekend and was reminded of how cool this mirror was when I saw it in one of the shops down town. (The store is called Ornamo, but they don't have an online store--but do stop by if you're in the area.)

The mirror is large in scale (35h x 12w x 10"d) and generally just really cool. It's on sale now at Moma.

"Bring this nearly three-foot high version of the familiar rearview car mirror indoors. Wall mount and adjust by rotating 360 degrees, lowering or angling towards the wall to display your desired reflection. Made of a black injection-molded ABS frame with glass and anodized aluminum."
