White framed mirrors, especially in ornate styles, aren't necessarily my go-to choice. I'd normally think of them mostly for very feminine or shabby chic interiors. I don't think they have been used as much in transitional and modern decor, and they're not always the first thing that comes to mind in those settings. But that's what makes me really like them for more modern rooms - they are still a bit unusual and unexpected. I bought one for my office that just arrived, so I thought I do a post about them. How about this first one – totally unexpected and simply amazing:

Finally, these are the ones I have bookmarked (from
PB,
PBTeen,
Wayfair, and
Etsy). The last one is the one I bought. Again, it's a lot, but I have trouble deciding what to show you, so I show them all:
I love how they are all painted white! This makes them have a freshness that works well with minimalism, and adds a sculptural element.
YOUR MIRROR ROCKS!!! franki
