Mirrors are one of my many weaknesses. After hot pink, color, texture, pattern, turquoise, bedding, hammered bronze, mehrab arches, floor cushions and paisley...comes mirrors. There are ten around here. Ten! Without shame. So why are the decor imps out there sending a perfect storm of showstoppers down the pike? The last thing I need is another mirror, but...
Along comes the Sana Mehrab, above, but there is also her slinky sister the "Metal Clad" Sana Mehrab, both large and in charge. At 24 x 36", Sana is an ideal wall mirror, a nice over the mantel or console size. "Metal Clad" on the other hand is a hefty 30 x 63" - that's roughly 3' x 5' - a nice long look before you leave the house.
Last year I bought the Satara mirror from World Market in a gottahaveit fit. And I love it. Rather than wall mount it in the entrance, I propped it on top of a side table near my closet. Put my lipstick on there every morning. ::smooch::
Do not get me started on the Sahar Arch mirror. Let's just call it the current summit of all my hopes and dreams, 'cause that arch is perfection and at 26 x 71" it's a statement piece. (Calypso Home has a similar, slightly larger one, for almost $1000.)
And these three are just the tip of the iceberg. Right now you can swing a dead cat and hit a gorgeous, global mirror:

| world market's red mirror - full of mehrab arches - perfect for an entryway |

| can't beat the warmth of the espresso fretwork rhita - imagine trying to pass it without running a hand over that weathered detail |
Naturally, Pier 1 has some solid contenders:

| it'd need some dusting but the carved wood is so dramatic |
And just recently sighted on MYHabit, a rather over the top Moroccan glory:
Ohhh, the temptation...
