I see what you meant about the ellipsis. I was referring to her question before it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-thing-i-really-miss#post-2256062 Tue, 22 Mar 2022 16:05:34 +0000 Anonymous 2256062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great advice, everyone. Thanks! Whatever mirror I buy will have to be bought in Mexico. Our condo has Mexican architecture, including arched doors, so there’s no way I can hang anything on a door. The walls, including all interior walls, are concrete. I imagine I’ll try to get a mirror that can be hung in an inconspicuous place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-thing-i-really-miss#post-2256058 Tue, 22 Mar 2022 15:47:05 +0000 Zaeobi 2256058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I misread your ellipses after 'where to put on' as pondering, rather than an answer segue.</p> <p>Hooks sound practical, but they stop the door from fully closing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-thing-i-really-miss#post-2256034 Tue, 22 Mar 2022 13:28:22 +0000 Bijou 2256034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mirror is from IKEA and does the job well. I used to try to stand on a stool in my bathroom (not a good idea) to see how shoes match an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-thing-i-really-miss#post-2256031 Tue, 22 Mar 2022 13:18:48 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2256031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zaeobi, you can get a mirror on hooks to hang over a door, or if it’s an actual wood door, hardware to affix it to the door. I don’t have or want adhesive backed mirrors. Nothing against them, just no need. Not sure who you are referring to with “struggling”. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-thing-i-really-miss#post-2255975 Tue, 22 Mar 2022 04:47:39 +0000 Becoming Alyssa 2255975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I to have the Ikea stick ons, right on the back of the bathroom door, works great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-thing-i-really-miss#post-2255973 Tue, 22 Mar 2022 04:38:33 +0000 Zaeobi 2255973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the IKEA stick on mirrors @chewy mentions but, like @stag, I'm struggling with where to attach it - renting unfortunately means I can't attach it to a door without ruining its paintwork. </p> <p>You shouldn't have this issue though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-thing-i-really-miss#post-2255965 Tue, 22 Mar 2022 03:31:02 +0000 Anonymous 2255965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our full length mirror is on the inside ( back) of a bathroom door. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-thing-i-really-miss#post-2255864 Mon, 21 Mar 2022 16:52:06 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2255864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where to put one….back of a door is classic. We kids all had them on our bedroom doors. Our parents’ was on the walk-in closet in a way that it could be used with the half mirror above the sink to see the back of your head. I’m thinking I’ll want two—one on the back of the front door to check my look just before I go out, and a cool vintage cheval mirror for the bedroom. I plan to also use my bedroom to workout, so will need it to check my form. Even if the art nouveau style I’m looking for doesn’t appeal to you, there are tons of free-standing floor mirrors you can consider, as you’re getting unpacked and settled in. Then you can move it around based on the sun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-thing-i-really-miss#post-2255840 Mon, 21 Mar 2022 14:36:25 +0000 Inge 2255840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to suggest the stick-on mirror tiles. I had one of those when I lived in a studio apartment, and it was so handy (and very sturdy). I put it on the inside of my bathroom door. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-thing-i-really-miss#post-2255820 Mon, 21 Mar 2022 12:40:22 +0000 Carla 2255820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When space is an issue, install a full length mirror on the back of a door. &nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-thing-i-really-miss#post-2255817 Mon, 21 Mar 2022 12:38:00 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2255817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm....<br /> IKEA sells a mirror in the kids department that is non-breakable and comes with stick on tape. You can put a bunch in a row horizontally and get a full size mirror, but these would be packable in a suitcase or bag. Would fit nicely on the back of a door.<br /> <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/droemmare-mirror-50252397/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/d.....-50252397/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-thing-i-really-miss#post-2255789 Mon, 21 Mar 2022 03:57:58 +0000 rachylou 2255789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s this situation that led me to surreptitious ladies room pictures, which is too late!

I’ve wanted to change apartments for a long time. When we finally do, I’ll get my mirror. I hope you can pick up a new one for your new place soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-thing-i-really-miss#post-2255750 Sun, 20 Mar 2022 21:02:10 +0000 Anonymous 2255750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are selling &amp; donating almost everything we own so we can retire in Mexico. Of all the things I have gotten rid of, I really miss my full length mirror. The mirror tells me the truth, &amp; I can see what aspects of my outfits I need to adjust or get rid of. </p>
