Jane Kim Design We found it at an architectural salvage store. We added custom copper panels to match on top and bottom so it would look like the whole wall was made of copper.
chegger12 Look up a product called luminore. It is a spray on cold metal finish, that after it cures you work and polish just like regular metal. I have worked with it and it is very cool but there is a huge learning curve.
The ultimate exterior element used inside this loft is in the powder room. It is a reclaimed architectural copper piece, salvaged from a building in upstate New York. Kim had extra copper pieces fabricated to extend the copper over the entire wall. "Because the mirror is at the scale of architecture and is of the scale of an old window opening, you really get the feeling like you're looking into another room when you stand in front of it," Kim says. More reclaimed wood forms a simple countertop and the mirror was centered at eye level.

A reclaimed copper window casing salvaged from Albany, New York made its way into this loft in Tribeca, where it now serves as a stunning mirror wall in the powder room. See the rest of this loft
Tip: When designing for a large, open space, consider scale and history. A copper window from a building facade now serves as a unique, patinated mirror in the powder room and holds its own within the large proportions of the loft.
This vanity is just spectacular, with the architectural copper surround for the mirror, which entirely covers the wall. The green color is the natural patina on the copper, not a faux finish. The simple wall-to-wall slab of wood as the counter complements the bold scale of the design. The next time you stop in an architectural salvage store, think about how large-scale pieces might be incorporated into a bathroom vanity area.
