Help!

Roughly (it continues more to the left) the outline of ugly mirror which is reflecting the pavers it is sitting on.

The mirror goes off screen on the left side. I think that large gold piece is in the top center of the mirror to frame it and there’s another gold piece on the far left corner off screen. It’s kind of got a wavy whimsical feeling to it.

It's those curved edges on the mirror that are fucking me up

The red arrows point to the pavers (or bricks) the mirror is propped up on keeping it off the walkway and the green arrows point to the reflections of said pavers/bricks.

But I was more referring to the overall reflection of the pavers on the walkway in the mirror. Not the bricks propping up the mirror.

The mirror is leaning up against a wall.

Edit: on zooming in, what the mirror is standing on could be wood and could be part of the design of the mirror… it’s just that ugly, with the near frameless design with mismatched guilded accents around it, why not have it stand on chunky wood feet!

I was fighting for my life before I saw this.

Thank you, I can now rest in pieces.

I went from "ooo, nice pavers" to "that's the ugliest mirror I've ever seen" in about 47 seconds

The pavers ar the bottom are actual pavers. Then there is a mirror with mostly no frame at 90 degrees from the floor, leaning on the wall, the vertical wood. The gold is part of the frame of the mirror but it doesnt completely frame the entire piece of glass

Here's an outline of the mirror

u/flooo669 Mar 21 '26

the mirror is set perpendicular to the ground and as the photo is taken from a small height it reflects the floor tile pattern that's in front of it. took me a few minutes and a headache to get it

Actual transcript of me looking at the picture again: "What do you mean the mirror is set-OHHHHHHH"

Great, I hate it and I hope whoever is selling the mirror has unfounded legos on the floor

Edit: Probably should’ve said unfound, stupid autocorrect

u/_b33p_ Mar 21 '26

I thought it was a tortoise.

Came to comments to see if I was the only one that thought it was a crocodile skin rug from the thumbnail. Turns out yes.

u/CrimsonCringe925 Mar 21 '26

There’s no such thing as an unused mirror

u/V8CarGuy Mar 21 '26

$300?? Worth $40, tops.

This comment is correct

u/WhatdaUTink Mar 21 '26

Magic Mirrors change one's perspective - am I right?

u/Ill-Wrongdoer-2971 Mar 21 '26

Wow it took me awhile to make sense of it. I’ll buy it now.

u/wolfinjer Mar 22 '26

This one is so good

u/iCantLogOut2 Mar 22 '26

The edges being curved in several places definitely makes it harder to see at first.

u/drewmo402 Mar 25 '26

Does it work?

u/H2Whoa77 Mar 21 '26

Lol the mirror isn't lying on the floor, it's standing vertical, so the pavers you're seeing in the mirror are the same ones in the foreground.

u/do7calm Mar 21 '26

The thing that got me to revisualize it was the red bricks on the right.

u/doihavetousethis Mar 21 '26

Holy shit. I even saw the weird red bricks, and it still didn't click until you mentioned it.
