Mary (@mehree.b) shared the interior design project in a viral TikTok video.
She explained that she wanted to install a huge mirror on an empty wall in her house.
Instead of breaking the bank to hire professionals for her renovation, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
The interior designer wanted to make the dramatic change while staying on budget.
“I wanted a big mirror on a budget and I created it. Viola. $7 mirrors from Target,” Mary said.
She ordered 15 $7 framed door mirrors from Target and got to work.
With a little help, a ladder and a nail gun, she installed the framed mirror three times her height in a five-by-three rectangle on her wall.
The $105 mirror display covered her entire wall from top to bottom and launched her grand staircase.
Many were impressed by how much money she saved with her quick thinking.
“Anyone complaining that it’s $105 doesn’t understand that this could have been a $5,000 mirror job,” said one commenter.
Some added that the $5,000 estimate even seemed low.
“It could have been $20,000… I don’t know what you’re trying to say,” replied another.
Many agreed that the project was extremely economical and raised her house.
“You don’t realize how cheap $105 is for this and it really opened up the space!” said one commenter.

“This is so clever. Big mirrors are so expensive for no reason,” said another.
Some thought the project looked far grander than many might expect.
“Damn she looks expensive,” one viewer said.
“It looks so expensive. Money well spent,” agreed another.
“Okay it’s over $100 but like that? It’s amazing and a great deal,” praised a third.
While some thought she should have removed the frames for a more cohesive look, others felt the frames were a nice touch.
“Leaving the frames were the perfect aesthetic choice!” said an observer.

One thought the frames worked well to jazz up her barren white wall.
“I usually don’t like modern things but this is just WOW!” They said.
