I used to be emphatically nay. Who wants to look at himself in someone else’s living room? And when you sit down, who wants to look at the ceiling? But Billy Baldwin made the good argument that if you have a beautiful fireplace and a beautiful piece of art, you create visual competition by placing them together. Depends on the fireplace, depends on the mirror, but I’m ceding the point to Baldwin on this one.
