"Just ten Malma mirrors, some emulsion and a idea for a pattern. Uber cheap. But love the effect. I used Photoshop to create my pattern and work out the layout, but free hand is just as good. 10 Malma mirrors painted white with leftover interior emulsion. I left a 2 cm gap between the frames and using a pencil drew in the pattern I wanted allowing for the gap. Again a tiny amount of left over grey emulsion from a spring decorating freshen-up filled in the pattern and done. I love the impact of the them mounted together and all for under £10!"

ReplyDeleterly nice!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteAny chance he'd be willing to share the Photoshop pattern?
Beautiful! I think I will steal this idea for my bathroom. Love the pattern too.
ReplyDeleteI like this very much, quite elegant. I must give this a try. Can you post a link to the design pattern? or a jpeg of it so we can get an idea (for those living in the dark ages w/out photoshop)? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat pattern looks an awful lot like these IKEA curtain panels: http://unclutterer.com/wp-content/uploads/080228_curtain2.jpg
ReplyDeleteJust sayin... ;-)
Ooohhh chic!
ReplyDeletei LOVE that candelabra! where did you get it?!

ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteawesome idea and design!!
ReplyDeletedid the same thing last week! it looks great
ReplyDeletethat is the cutest hack I've seen in a long time!
ReplyDeleteWow -- just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBy emulsion, do you mean paint?
So, did you hand-paint them? How did you transfer the pattern from Photoshop onto the wood?
Hi, that's just too gorgeous..how did u stick those on the wall?
ReplyDeleteDelicate and exquisite is what it looks like...love the soft look it creates in the room.
ReplyDeleteI always find great ideas here on your blog. This one is the greatest it look very modern and sophisticated. The patters you made it more elegant to look at.
ReplyDeleteI say this is looks dashing … the whole design is phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteAs Mr. Rodacre points out, it's a design from an IKEA curtain, so I imagine you could simply shine a light through the curtain and trace the shadows onto the mirrors hung on the wall.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, photograph the design, trace it in photoshop, print it out to the right scale and cut stencils (though I'd not use photoshop if you want to work to an exact scale and with geometric shapes. You'd be better off with Illustrator or some kind of CAD software.)
Hello there :)
