Notice the beautiful, original woodwork. The floors look great, too. The vaulted ceiling is handsome. The door to the kitchen is a double-hinged swinging door, which is kind of cool. The walls are original plaster. The window is huge and original.
And then there are the huge double mirrors hung on the wall. Bleh. Some people have told us that they like the mirrors, and they certainly make the room appear bigger. But these things have to go; they definitely don't fit the original decor of the house.
Last weekend, I was set to take them off. I unscrewed the mirror clips, thinking that the glass would just come off. The mirrors, however, are stuck to the wall. It appears that there may be some kind of backing to which the mirrors are attached. As you can see, the mirrors are huge. I was thinking of taping up the front to prevent breaking shards of glass, and then trying to chisel them off the backing or the wall. I'm pretty sure this will result in some plaster damage, but I guess we'll see. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
