How was your weekend? The sun was shining in Ottawa and Spring felt that much closer! All this sunshine got me thinking about the sunburst mirror. How do you feel about them? Do you have one in your home? Decorators tend to love them and I've used them many times in client's houses.
Sunburst mirrors became identified with Louis XIV, known as the “Sun King”, who apparently, would stare into the sunburst mirror to see his face in the centre of the sun.

So how do you feel about the sunburst mirror? Think they add gorg factor to a room? Love them enough to stare at yourself in the mirror like our buddy Louis XIV? Or not your style?
The last few years people have been making their own and I'm thinking about doing a DIY starburst mirror for the guest room.
What kind of starburst DIY would you like to see? Classic? Wispy? Silver? Gold? Wood? Modern? Branchy?
Keep it Beautiful.
The nice thing about sunburst mirrors is that there are so many different versions available - something for everyone! I love them.
ReplyDeleteI added one above the bed in our guest room. It is gold and helps tie in the other gold accents in the room. I love it!

ReplyDeleteI have one in my bedroom and I still love them. Because there are so many variations (you found a lot of great ones here) I think they are here to stay.
ReplyDeleteI'm prone to leave it....
