In general, I’m not a huge fan of mirrors. It’s not that I don’t like looking at myself. It’s just that I honestly don’t spend a whole lot of time doing it. My mirror time is pretty much confined to the time I spend brushing my teeth and combing my hair. There are no last-second checks as I walk out the door or hours spent putting on makeup or even cleaning my face (I do that in the shower). That said, every girl needs a mirror for those last-second checks, and something tells me reflections in this Twig Mirror from Viva Terra can’t help but be beautiful.
It is made of recycled metal cast over real twigs. Normally, something like this would be much, much too rustic for my taste, but the slick black finish earns this mirror my seal of approval. At 10.5″ x 11″, it is the right size for hair and makeup, and it won’t take up too much space on a dresser. I actually picture it sitting on a minimal white fireplace mantel overlooking a crisp living room decorated all in black, white and yellow. Acccessories as simple as this one are what help make a room look “finished” and well-put-together. And if I could ever gete my mother to clear her mantel clutter, I might just be able to illustrate that point in real life…
