A Retro-Modern Fall Table

November 23, 2021 by Kate 3 Comments

Today’s post all about fall table inspiration. With a dash of ’80s style and a few of my current favorite finds, I was able to create a spread that’s easy to throw together (but also achieves an abundant look)…

DIY Splatter Paint Pumpkins

October 30, 2021 by Kate Leave a Comment

This last-minute pumpkin project couldn’t be easier to create! Splatter paint will forever evoke a sense of ’80s style, and getting a speckled look is as easy as flicking a paintbrush or toothbrush.

An ’80s Goth Halloween Playlist

October 24, 2021 by Kate 2 Comments

Halloween is almost here! Halloween is almost here! Today’s post is dedicated to the ’80s goth experience. There’s lots of music video magic to enjoy (plus a fun project and a snack idea), so get ready to escape.

October 6, 2021 by Kate 7 Comments

What does “living in the ’80s” mean to you?! I have some fun fall blog content on the way in the coming weeks, but before jumping head first into a new season, I wanted to highlight some of my ’80s design favorites.

’80s Design Projects and an Update

May 22, 2021 by Kate 8 Comments

Well, it’s been a minute since my last post! With that said, having an hour to write a blog post feels like a complete luxury, and one that I haven’t enjoyed in quite some time. I wanted to update you on some new developments and say that Mirror80 will always be the place I return to when I’m feeling my most creative.

A Valentine’s Day Escape

February 13, 2021 by Kate 1 Comment

As we jump into today’s post, let’s look at a few ways to “get away from it all” this weekend while sitting on your couch wrapped in a blanket. We begin with some easy watercolor painting and then move into retro made-for-TV movie bingeing while consuming the beverage of your choice.

The Great Holiday Roundup

December 22, 2020 by Kate 3 Comments

Happy Holidays!! Since this is the 11th Christmas that I’ve been blogging, I wanted to look back at some of my favorite holiday moments! My all-time favorite holiday shoot was the retro candle swap, shown above. Inspired by Saturday Night Live’s hilarious “The Christmas Candle,” the concept of regifting unwanted wax cylinders really hit home to me–ha!

New Photos in the Mirror80 Shop

November 25, 2020 by Kate Leave a Comment

It’s been a long while since I’ve updated the Mirror80 Society6 shop, but I wanted to add some new images as cyber week gets underway. I’ve got big plans for the coming months, including offering a collection of photos from the last 10 years of blogging…

A Fall-iday Table

November 19, 2020 by Kate Leave a Comment

So this is weird Thanksgiving, isn’t it?! Let’s hear it for 2020. While today’s table was styled for a Thanksgiving-themed post, the wall behind the table is the current state of my interior.

DIY Pumpkins: Confetti and Colorful Forms

October 24, 2020 by Kate 2 Comments

It’s officially one week until Halloween! This has always been one of my favorite times of the year, and as the end of October gets closer, I typically take a cool morning or afternoon to decorate pumpkins while listening to ’80s music and sampling chocolate.
