"Mirror Mirror On The Wall"

I don't care what anyone says.
Mirrored walls are not dead.
SEE!!!?????
This is a feature at this month's 
Architectural Digest (sponsored)
Home Design Show

I especially like to hang mirrors on mirrored walls.
A great example (and it's just one example)of what I am talking about is... 
mirroring  the wall that the sink is on in a bathroom,
then you hang an outrageous mirror right over it.
Hint:  When you have the wall mirrored 
leave cut outs in the mirror for lighting, 
and a place to access the wall to hang your fabulous mirror.
Trust me on this...
you get a  lot of bang for your buck!!

Would you hang a mirror 
on a mirrored wall if you could?

    You bet, and I am in my downstairs powder room. I intend to mirror every surface it in shameless adoration of Miles Redd's to die for bathroom.

    That was starting to feel like a Dr. Suess rhyme at the end there! Yes! I would hang a mirror over a mirror in a heart beat! ;)

    Renee,

    This is a random question, not related to mirrors....I know that you are big equestrian. I am wanting to start riding. Can a woman at 46 start riding with no experience? I have ridden western but not English. I live in Connecticut with our Hunt Club down the block. Wondered if it is too late to start? Love your opinion!

    Dear Renee,
    I am rather frightened about mirrored walls because I remember the first time round when they looked soooo awful, but I love that bathroom and would do the same in my house in a heartbeat. I can see how wonderful it can all look now. Fabulous. XXXX

    I love the look. I didn't realize anyone thought it was out of date!

    I've been to the House of Seven Gables twice. The gardens are wonderful too. The one room I really wanted to see more of is the apothacary room downstairs. You can see inside a little but they don't let you in.

    Count me in, I think that would be lovely Renee.
    I really love mirrored walls & it irks me when many HGTV shows say they have to go. I realize that they left favor a few years back but you see them eeking back in again. I don't like looking in a mirror, but I love how it bounces light and expands the space.

    You've given me much to think out in my bathroom remodel! Luv your mind xx
