This gorgeous grid mirror will bounce light around a room and almost feel like another window- but feels more like artwork with the grids breaking up the mirror than a giant reflection of the other side of the room.
This project is great in dining rooms, entryways, halls and more!
Save money by DIY -ing this grid mirror! You can build it for a fraction of the cost to buy it.
