The ultimate in French mirrors, is the Trumeau mirror. Trumeaus were made in France in the late 1800s, and were made to go on walls between windows. A rectangular mirror with two sections, the lower with a mirror and the upper had a decorative carving or a decorative painted scene that was the focal point of the mirror. I have long admired these mirrors, but authentic French Trumeaus are very pricey. This large and gorgeous Louis VI period blue and gilt Trumeau was sold on First Dibs at just under a very pricey $15,000. So imagine my delight when my blogger friend, Jamie Lundstrum, ( So Much Better with Age blog), penned a DIY book about all things Vintage French style. And inside Jamie’s book, was a how-to for making a French Trumeau mirror! It is among 70 projects for adding Vintage French decor to your home. It was time for a change in the dining room, I had even been contemplating wallpaper. After taking everything off the walls, we headed to Home Depot to get supplies. I followed along the instructions and got an MDF board along with some trim pieces for the top and sides. I decided to use an existing mirror I already had that was in an ornate carved frame. In the book, Jamie frames out a cut piece of mirror, but I figured by using a framed mirror I already had, it would be less expensive and easier! The point is you can do it either way and end up with the mirror of your dreams. The top of the mirror can be made two ways, one with a crown molding like the one here and the one in Jamie’s book. But I enlisted my husband to do the cutting of the moldings on his fancy saw. One can also use a plain piece of flat backed molding for the top, as many of the original Trumeaus were made this way. Note the lack of moldings on the bottom, and the simple molding on the top. The focus is on the mirror and the decorative carving. There are so many ways to design your own mirror, and that is really the fun part! The colors and styles are endless, which makes it perfect for personalizing your home. You could add French wallpaper or fabric instead of a painted scene for your focal point. After hubs and I cut the molding and laid it out on the 24\
