Reflected Glory: Barbara and Jack Thomas placed a 4x8-foot mirror on a Seattle garden wall behind a shallow pool, making the pool and patio appear twice as large. A stone lion’s head drips water through a hole drilled in the mirror; ivy obscures edges.
A Glacial “Pool”: In an alpine border, a 16-inch-square mirror creates the look of a glacial lake. Edges masked with smooth river rocks; blue fescue softens the look. The mirror reflects sky and surroundings like a mountain pool.
Windows in the Wall: Foot-square mirror tiles set into box frames made from 2x4s look like portholes. Cost ~$5 each, <2 hours to build. Materials: rough-sawn 2x4, nails/screws, stain, mirror tile, hardboard backing, staples, eye screws, picture wire. Tools: saw, drill, hammer. Steps: cut rabbet, cut mitered pieces, assemble, stain, insert mirror, add hardware, hang.
