Zuburbia HOME: Mirror Mirror On the Wall


the parlous salon - los angeles - hallway of mirrors

I visited my lovely hairstylist, Alyson Powell, at The Parlour Hair Salon recently and couldn’t resist sharing its hall of mirrors. What a fabulous low-cost decorating idea to pack a style punch!

Plus it’s a super-easy DIY project:

*  Just head over to your local thrift store and grab a bunch of used or vintage mirrors. If you can’t find enough mirrors, grab interesting frames in different shapes and sizes and have a glass shop cut mirrors to fit them. There’s no need to worry about condition issues like scratches or nicks.

* Paint all the frames in the same high gloss shade—white or black work especially well. (Remember to sand and prime properly for the type of frame material in order to achieve the best results.)

* Plan the layout for your wall by first laying out the frames on your floor and playing around until you’ve got the arrangement of the frames just right.

* Measure and mark the placement of each frame on the wall.

* Then hang each frame.

VOILA! You’ve created a chic hall of mirrors of your very own.

What a great weekend project for a Vintage Crusader!
