Hugh Jazz Mirror

On a recent trip to Ikea I found this mirror.



Looks like a normal mirror right? Well the diameter is 41.75 inches. See the length of your arm? Add another foot and a half. That's how wide this mirror is.

Of course I decided to lug this gigantic thing home and get up on the wall (with much help from The Hubs of course!).

To refresh, here's an idea of what it looked like before the gigantor mirror.




And here's the space with the big new mirror!







And a wide shot ...




My tips for hanging a mirror this size?

1. Use wall anchors or find the studs for your screws.
2. Get help!
3. Get a smaller mirror! OMG this thing was PITA to hang. It's never ever ever coming off of that wall...

  2. I love circle mirrors! I passed up the perfect one, Target Victoria Hagen collection, and have been looking ever since. Though your description is scaring me...we may have to swing by Ikea to check it out. Looks great in your place!
