Decorative mirrors can be much more versatile than just focal points on the wall. Check out these ‘OFF the Wall’ uses of mirrors that will inspire you to think outside the box when entertaining. Special thanks to our friends at the Howard Elliott Collection for making these photos available through their Facebook Page.

Howard Elliott’s Michelle Mirror (HE-9084) doubling as a table accent piece.

Here we have Howard Elliott’s Amalfi Mirror (HE-11034) being used as a planter by M&M Special Events, an event planning company out of Dallas. What a great innovative way to utilize the beauty of this mirror!

Howard Elliott’s Solar Mirror (HE-68001) utilized as a table top accent. How great would some strategically placed pillar candles look on this unique mirror?

Our client found a unique way to use Uttermost’s Sherise Rectangle Mirror and sent us this photo. Can’t think of a more delightful way to serve a pitcher of sangria on a hot summer day.

Speaking of sangria, I have a great recipe for Red Sangria that I’ll share. It was entrusted to me by my old friend Emilio, who brought it to America from his native Spain.

Ingredients:

1 Bottle of red wine (preferably Burgundy)
1 Green apple cut into wedges
1 Orange cut into wedges. OK to leave the orange peels on.
4 oz of Triple sec
4 oz of Grand Marnier
8 oz Orange Juice (w/pulp)

Preparation: Combine all ingredients in a pitcher and chill overnight. Serve over lots of ice.

Enjoy and remember to drink responsibly!
