I like the mirror idea to expand and brighten a room. I was actually thinking of doing that in my living room, behind a big chair on the wall opposite to the window. I saw a lot of inspirations on a recent post on little green notebook:

I am just concerned about the reflexion "crowding the room", especially since mine isn't very big and everytime you walk out you'd be facing your own reflexion. I guess it depends on the size of the mirror.
What do you guys think ? How big could I go before it's too much ?

I grew up in the country, playing in the dirt and well, lets be honnest, not always washing my hand before diner when I came back from outside. I was sick maybe 3 times in my entire childhood. Meanwhile, my boyfriend's mom sanitizes pretty much everything (she washes her bathroom everyday) and he grew up with all possible allergies and even asthma... I'm just saying...

I used one in my kitchen, under the window. it provides seating room for whoever wants to come chat with the cook and on the bottom shelf I put cooking books and magasine...it holds fine for one person seating on it...

OMG, we just painted our kitchen the exact same color (mine is mardi-gras gold form Benjamin Moore), and we have touches of the same kind of green tone in the living room (painted an Ikea Bekvam stool with BM's Douglas Fir)

here is our kitchen before / right after we painted it (lots of additional touches missing still...)
