a practical mirror

Posted by polebravely on January 22, 2014 at 10:48 am

Hey everyone, I could really use a nice big mirror to spot myself in, does anyone have suggestions on whether you like full legnth, or a big square, or where you went to find a mirror that was nice but didn’t break the bank? It’s kind of a silly question, but right now I’m flying or rather, holding on for dear life, blind.

Craigslist! I have seen so many bathroom mirrors listed for next to nothing. For about $80 you can also pick up mirrored closet doors at lowes or home depot. But check Craigslist first. I search large mirror.

I got two huge ones at Home Goods. I couldn’t believe they were so cheap. They are the ones in all my vids. Heavy, sturdy and pretty.

I got mine from Kirklands for 50% off. It had sizeable frame on it though. If you have a garden ridge they might have something, but inspect the quality first there, because their merchandise can be damaged. Ikea used to have great big mirrors that were pretty cheap.

I purchased two 30″ x 60″ un-beveled mirrors from Home Depot and mounted them horizontally to make one “big” mirror. Worked out great! There are pics on my page.

Oops. Also the mirrors were about $59 each.

I got my mirror from a place that sells glass- they do auto glass, as well as mirrors and such! It was nice and cheap, because I wasn’t paying for a frame. They gave me some small brackets so I could hang the mirror on the wall wherever I want. It’s actually a bit wider than the normal full-length mirror, too 🙂

i got 6 mirrors for the back of a door & hung them all together. it was like $35 total for the hardware & all. the mirrors were $5 at target. they are light & small enough to get in pretty much any car.
now that i have a taller pole i want to get a really big glassless mirror BUT they are like $400 for what i want so i think i will stick with what i have for now 😉
