Here are 7 gorgeous wall mirrors, in every size, shape and style imaginable.

I can trace the deep roots of my family tree to 1432 A.D. in England, and since there’s no record I can find of it, I often wonder what our family coat of arms looked like. Was it elegant and bold, like this mirror, etched at the edges with a vintage-inspired motif? This mirror is suitable for display in any room of your home, including the den, above the mantel, next to the family crest… or in lieu of one.

Though any of these wall mirrors would make an interesting conversation piece, or simply a lovely addition to your bedroom, you only have so many walls on which to hang them, so you must exhibit self-control and only choose one or two of them to covet… though I must say, I’m having difficultly narrowing my choices. Which of these beautiful wall mirrors do you like best, and where would you hang it?
