Vanity mirror frame color?
Comments (5)I love great big bathroom mirrors (even wall to wall), particularly w the light fixtures mounted on the glass...See MoreBathroom mirror frame- mirror not centered on vanity
Comments (9)I did a little thinking on this. Light socket to left of mirror- it is attached to a stud on the right side of the little electrical box. I am going to replace it with a 3 capacity box, putting the socket in the spot on far left, then patch/cover the other two. This will allow me to move the mirror down a few inches to be centered on vanity. I will still have room between it and framed the mirror. Lights- I will then be able to center the lights on the vanity/mirror, not on the sinks. But the original hollywood light had one wire in middle of fixture. To install two lights I will need to split that and run through the studs to get to new opening for new fixtures. I was not thrilled about patching drywall to do this. But...... if I remove the mirror ( which is not glued as originally thought) I can open up the wall behind the mirror, do the split, bore through studs, run new wires up to the new fixtures holes. Then I patch the wall which will be covered by the mirror so it doesn't have to be perfect!!!! It is a lot of work but will be worth it in the end. Can't wait to finish and post pics....See MoreI cant find a framed mirror to go over my 60" double vanity.
Comments (11)With a picture framer you tell them the exact size you want and then you pick the exact frame you want. They ask you if you want your mirror with a beveled edge or not. You don't need to settle on what they have already made. You don't need to buy a mirror and take it to them. They make what you want and for no more $$$ than Wayfair....See MoreBathroom Addition - Vanity Design - Framed or Frameless Mirror?
Comments (5)If this room will be used for makeup application, you want to make sure your lighting is optimized. (Natural light is best for makeup application but cloudy days and evenings require good lighting.) Overhead lighting as it appears in your elevation shot is the least flattering type of lighting because it casts shadows on the face. I've read that lighting should illuminate the whole face and this is best achieved by having mirror side lights. If your lighting stays as it is, the makeup wearer might appreciate a table top mirror with built-in lighting. Person's eyesight and habits are bound to dictate preference over a wall or tabletop mirror preference as well. Lighting placement then informs mirror choice. Frame or frameless mirror is a choice based on chosen bathroom style and owners' preference. (I hate cleaning the bathroom. As I'm planning our remodel, all my choices are dictated by cleaning ease. Love the look of ornate frames but they're a pain to clean so if I go with a framed mirror, the frame will be smooth and easy to dust.) As for the sink outlets, think about all the appliances you use and where they'll be stored. Toothbrushes? Hair dryer? Razors? Perhaps you'd like to hide these outlets with storage drawers? An architect would certainly help you do that. Good luck with your decisions. Hope you'll share pics when done!...See Moretreasuretheday
