Enlarge a Space With Mirrors

“I’m not necessarily a ‘bargain-shopper,’ but sometimes I luck out,” says Sally, referring to the dramatic gold bamboo mirror above her living room sofa, which she snagged for $25 on craigslist.org. The mirror coordinates with a similar bamboo version that hangs in her entry. Both mirrors serve to open up the spaces. A white lacquer mirror hangs in her bedroom to reflect light and make the space feel bigger.
