This project has been a long one but patience is paying off, it's starting to fill in pretty good now. Most of these mirrors started off as gold plastic frames that I've painted white and most were under $5. They really bring a lot of light to a dark staircase and a lot of character to a 1960-something apartment.

Hi Cindy - I love your mirrored staircase too. Mine is mirrored in a different way, I have mirrors on the back of each step... it looks like the staircase is floating. Surpringly they're easy to maintain... they've been there for over 30 years.

You have a beautiful blog! Such great ideas! I will visit often! Thanks for sharing!
I have a similar staircase and went back and forth between mirrors and pictures and pictures won. It's a wonderful space to fill.
Cindy it looks fabulous

They're beautiful, Cindy! Isn't it amazing what some time and a can of white paint will do? I love all the different shapes....Donna
Wow I remember when you just started it! It's looking really pretty! I just love that big mirror with the scrolly things on the side!
Manuela
This is one of my favorite ideas of yours. It looks so lovely.

I love your mirrored staircase. After looking at your mirrors I could just kick myself for not keeping all the mirrors and old picture frames that had been in my parents home. There were some that had belonged to my grandparents also. At least I was smart enough to hang on to some pretty vintage china, silver and some beautiful furniture.
Cindy,
They may have one in May as well, but they aren't for sure on that.
If you want to go together in June, I'll let you know. It would be great to meet you and go on a road trip to Healdsburg.

Wow, your wall is looking great. My favorite mirror is the oval with all the drippy stuff on it.
So beautiful!!! And such a great price, too...

Oh my gosh!!! I have 5 plastic mirrors in my office waiting to be painted. I have been wanting to do this look on my staircase. You make it look so beautiful. I have a feeling my painting will look sort of, painted! LOl
Love the variety of sizes and shapes of the mirrors! And, I really love that they were all cheap, I love a bargain!
What great mirrors, they look great lining your stairway. You are extremely patient to wait to get those. I always want everything now, I know I'm bad!!!
Hugs,
LeAnn :)

Hi Cindy,
This is a lovely idea. I would have never thought to take those gold framed mirrors and do something like this (white!). The result is lovely. We also have a very dark stairway - I've used antique mirrors around our front room and love it as it really opens up a small room. Great post, love all the different shapes and sizes.

Hey,
I just saw you may be meeting Glenda in June - I'll be there. Cathleen's a friend of mine. Hope to see you there, Cindy.

Cindy, love it that you painted all those mirrors white! It looks awesome, I plan on doing that will the wall in my vaulted entry...I will have to refer back to yours for continued inspiration as I find one mirror at a time.

Loved the Tips for a Better Life - thanks so much for sharing Cindy.
Your latest projects look great - the stairway is really attractive with the light reflecting mirrors. When you have heavy ones what do you use to hang 'em - those special mirror hooks that make big holes, or regular type 'bulldog' hooks?
Gorgeous roses - mine are just starting to bud!
So beautiful and a great collection. There must be so many stories behind those old mirrors, the things they've seen! Great blog! Suzy
Oh my this is just beautiful. I have a thing for mirrors and this takes the cake.
I wandered over from The Feathered Nest by chance and just had to say something about your lovely wall "O" mirrors.
Smiles,
Becky
A beautiful decoration!
I want to make the same deco in my house: a wall with a lot of mirrors!
Hugs from Argentina!
What a wonderful collection of mirrors. They do such wonderful things to a home, they add brightness, glamour, they help to enlarge a room..I just love them.
Cindy,
That wall has really come a long ways. So clever to see past the ugly plastic frames and so much lighter to hang too! Have a great weekend..can't believe it is here already. I seem to still be running on California vacation time and don't remember what day it is, LOL.

Isn't it wonderful when a project you have been working on for a long time finally comes together? Especially when it is as pretty as this one!
They look fabulous.
Hi Cindy..

I have a mirrored staircase too! How cool is that. I should show a picture sometime I suppose. Yours is beautiful by the way! Love,Rachel
Love the mirrors up the staircase!
I love mirrors. Thank you for the fantastic idea... All of it.
And especially the part... that they were not expensive frames. And you make them great, by painting them white.
