Sorry terrene about your giant Swallowtail chrysalis. I was rooting for it. Thanks for the picture of GST butterfly in your garden, it is AMAZING! I've never seen one in my life!! This thread was so interesting, I learned a lot, thanks to all who shared. terrene, could you possibly put a fine netting over the rue after butterfly visiting time each day, or over some of the rue, to keep out the predatory insects? You may raise the odds of more eggs that way. That reminds me to put the blanket over my outside enclosure, I still have some outdoor Monarch chrysalises. Or grow some rue in a 4 sided netted area, leaving daytime access of the top, then cover it with netting at night? Next year is a new opportunity to get your GST. I can see why you were so excited! (The caterpillar was also amazing looking).

Just bumping this down since you've since posted an update.

I think it would be a little less functional, but would still work. Who says you need to be directly in front of the sink when you're using the mirror? Most of my mirror time is doing something not directly sink related like makeup or hair. I certainly don't need the mirror to brush my teeth or wash my face or hands. However, one key difference between the "justification picture" and your mockup is that the inspiration mirror edges go all the way to the edges of the sink. So when you're standing directly in front of the sinks, your face isn't cut off by the frame. I think it would work better with minimal or no frame and as large as you can to try to max the width to cover both sinks.
