Remember the Utility Card? Yep, the one from grain. Well, they also carry these lovely mirrors with a textile wrapped edge. If the price is a tad too high, maybe their Bound Hand Mirror will scratch the itch. They’re all made in the USA and custom colors are available.

I’ve been pretty impressed with the quality of designs coming out of West Elm lately. I’m haven’t been the hugest champion of their case goods, but I think their accessories have been spot-on.
These mirrors have a refined blackened frame, and would be perfect in an entry, above a fireplace or above a dresser. The round one (above) is 30″ diameter and $149, while the small rectangular one is 36″ x 24″ and $129. The large one (not shown) is $349, and is not one solid mirror but features smaller mirror tiles.

For those of you on a shoe string budget, this mirror might be something to consider. Half simple/modern, half Baroque style, might be be a fun sort of thing to have in an entryway or above a small bathroom sink.
No Monet – it’s Baroque! Ornate, Baroque style rectangular mirror with an asymmetrical romantic overlay at the painted white frame. See yourself in classic beauty. Imported. Wipe clean.

Just think of how many corners and spaces this little guy could go. Mirrors are always an excellent way to reflect light around a space, making it seem bigger and brighter. Imagine the fun of putting several of these in a dark hallway or corner and seeing the light bounce around in unexpected ways.
The reflect mirror with its 90 degree angle can be used as a tray to place your keys, sun glasses, jewelries, coins etc so that you won’t forget to take them with you after checking yourself out in the mirror. For men, the angeled portion of the mirror allows you to see below your chin when shaving, which can come in handy as well. Also, with a total of 8 holes on the rear of each mirror, reflect mirror can be placed almost anywhere on the wall, including corners.
W9.6″ x L4.9″ x H12.0″
Available in black, white and gold.
Note: Estimated arrival time is end of November, but you can pre-order now.

This might be a handy thing to have by the front door for last minute appearance checks and memos. (It would be perfect for attaching mail/netflix/ilovefilm so you don’t forget to mail them out.)
…it has all the practicality of a standard clipboard with an added touch of design quirkiness, that will compliment both the home and office. Keep everything attached to this, from memos to mail, and it’ll certainly catch your attention.
Designed by Adrian Allen

This mirror is about us unadorned as you can get. Simple mirror hangs on a walnut peg. Measures 24″ x 24″. I think this would look amazing over a single wash basin in the bath.

Hmm. Does anyone else find the android-like form in these photos unsettling? Coupled with the ‘Love me’ and the fingerprint, it brings to mind AI or something equally disturbing.
By the designer of the Full Moon Credenza, these striking mirrors are printed with ELI (Eco Light Inside), an eco-friendly, photo luminescent material developed by the designer, which creates a glowing effect when the lights go out.
Available in two versions, Fingerprint & I Love Me.
Small: 19.75″H x 19.75″W
Medium: 19.75″H x 39.5″W

The Jericho Mirror is a little creepy, and maybe that’s what makes it weird and interesting. The vases are simply lovely. (They’re from the same retailer, so that’s why they’re pictured together, plus my bookmarks folder is busting at the seams.)
Natural Vases, $75.00, Buy it here.
Our Natural Vases utilize the unique shape and grain of monkey pod wood to produce a stunning effect. Their crooked silhouette is an excellent means of displaying a flower or simple arrangement. Hand-carved and finished with natural wax to enhance to grain.
20″ H (approx.) Bases range from 5″ to 8″ width

Holy cow, I love this mirror. Shipping pallets are not usually considered beautiful, but man, if you custom fabricate them into a mirror frame with some old Victorian flair, it certainly becomes an amazing piece.
Millions of pallets are used everyday to move goods across the world. Many times, these pallets come from exotic locations and are made from native exotic woods. But through shipping and clumsy handling, many of these pallets are damaged. A lot of the time they are simply discarded after use. These beautiful samples of another world typically turn into landfill or mulch.
This mirror was made using two partially destroyed shipping pallets. The scars on the lumber tell a story of its travels. While the form is reminiscent of old Victorian french mirrors, its origin is far from gold leaf.
design and prototype: Karl Zahn
without glass – $825.00, with glass – $975.00 (shipping not included)
