Trumeau mirrors have caught my attention in a grand way.
To be quite honest I just dicovered their formal name.
Last week I knew them as
"Fancy Mirrors".
This week Trumeau~
So just what does Trumeau mean?
{A mirror having a painted or carved panel above or below the glass in the same frame}
A "Fancy Mirror" I still say
but it's fun to say "Trumeau" too~
Can we build this?
I think we can...
Inbetween birthing puppies that is~
I'm off to build a "Trumeau"...
I think....

So excited to see what you have up your sleeve!
LOVE these. Can't wait to see what you create - please do a step-by-step with DETAILED instructions for those of us that are creatively challenged.
I am in love with those mirrors! I have been thinking on this very idea for some time and will be doing something of my own for our entry way. I have the perfect old mirror, I just need to build the frame. Can't wait to see how yours turns out!!
Hugs,
Victoria

I just love you, you crack me up. I woullld call them fancy mirrors, also. Or say you know and go into some explaination, I never know the correct name for things and have been known to make up words. I can wait to hear more about puppies.

Looking forward to seeing the tutorial on this one so I can steal er copy the um technique ;)
Beautiful mirrors...I can't wait to see the one you make. :)
If anybody can, you can. Can't wait to see it.
I have always loved these mirrors and have bid on several at antique auctions. They all went for way over my budget. I am excited to see how you recreate this look.

I love those mirrors too:) That last picture is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
I am in love with these mirrors as well. I always called the "French Mirrors with a panel on top." Close. Anyway, I'm curious to see how you make yours. I have a large mirror panel left over from a project and I would love to make one of these. Can never have too much mirror... Can't wait!
Oh, and the puppies are gorgeous.
I can't wait to see what you come up with. I have been searching and searching for a large mirror for our home.
I am anxious to see how you do! I have made a few myself - the real thing is so expensive! Can't wait to see!!!
If anyone can - I know you can. Can't wait to see your version - I think I will like it even more than the fancy french original - beacuse it will have the Susie touch.
LOL, I used to call them tiramisu mirrors just because Im silly and didnt know how to pronounce the word.
I can't wait to see what you come up with.
When I was at the Paris flea market I thought I would find them everywhere....nope. I ended up with a mirror but not what I was planning on buying.
Love the puppies, so cute how fun!

Awwww, I just got on here & saw the puppies. Wish I was there to hold them & smell their puppy breath. There's nothing better than a puppy.
I have NO doubt you can build a Trumeau mirror! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
I have been thinking about making one of these beautiful mirrors myself!! Can't wait to see yours now :o)

oh! how did the herb hunt go? cant wait to see!
That's great Susie - I'm not surprised you are proud of yourself. I really love the weather vane too!
Best wishes

well learned something else from you...the meaning of this mirror and I actually have one so I will have to take a picture and share...it's under my bed waiting to be hung...not sure what color to paint it either.
Those are sooooo beautiful and I love your version!! Where did you buy the mirror portion?
Wow! I really like this. I have a couple of dresser mirrors I think I'll do this to them. Thanks for sharing.
I found a mirror that I think works pretty well as a trumeau mirror. I linked to your blog from my post.
