This is a relatively inexpensive mirrored wall treatment.
The ROSETTES are a must when using mirror tiles.
I think this beveled-subway tile is the absolute bomb! Love.

This looks great, and what a fix this could be for a dull, or ugly wall you wish would disappear. The mirror tiles are antiqued. And there are tiny gold glass rosettes. Don't forget the rosettes.
Clear beveled mirror tiles.
Just a few patterns for you to think about.
If you do something like this pattern ( above) that I have provided for you, on a wall in the living room (or where ever...), just apply the paint of your choice, trim color on the molding, and insert mirror inside the molding. This is a 'guaranteed great' look.
It solves a problem or two in a big room with a long wall. Place your sofa in the center and blah,blah,blah. You will need less art by doing this, and fine art can be costly. It has always been a great alternative for me.
Above, I mirrored the entire door , and applied the molding over the mirror.
Jockimo has a great selection of antiqued mirror tiles.
If you go to Patricia Gray's blog, you will see Back Painted Glass that was used as a back-splash. Sometimes you can do the exact same thing with the back painted glass ( or tiles) that you could do with mirror. Check It Out.
This is a great mirror and glass site; Jockimo.com

silvia,
ReplyDeletejust keep it in mind....
on the sides of your fireplace , you could put wood and molding (instead of mirror)which would cut the cost considerably.
then paint the wood the same color as the trim in the room. or paint it the wall color.
if YOU did the tiles yourself (and they are cheap at home depot)...
YOU could do it yourself, and just glue a rosettes on .

I really like the look of the diamond shaped mirror under the cabinet. Classy! And those antiqued subway tiles are great too!
ReplyDeleteI had a very hard time getting on your blog this weekend...
I love the look of glass tiles with rosettes. Even if you use new tiles, they can be aged to look older. And, it's a look that can be emulated at many different price points!
ReplyDeletelinda,
ReplyDeletei know they can be antigued later.
but, maybe it's just me , but i am not fond of 'playing with acid.'
LOL

Adore those subway tiles!
ReplyDeleteI really like this one....
ReplyDeleteI have considered doing this on an accent wall once. there was a NY apartment with large squares and thick mouldings around the edges.
I love this look!
