Custom bathroom/vanity mirrors - are they all the same?

16 years ago

Hi,

I have to buy a custom vanity mirror and am wondering if they are all the same and if not, what makes one better than the other? Do they all have that green-y tinge on the edges? Wouldn't mind paying more for something that will look and wear better.

Anyone have any advice for me?

Thanks,

Amina

Thank you all for your feedback...it's getting closer to reality. Plumber was here this week so I believe we have resolution on the sink plumbing and cabinet. Lucy132, we are still working on that. As of now, no resolution! One option for us would be the wall that the door is on (by the sink). We have to resolve hand towels too. If we could have moved the door, we would and that would have helped but no such luck :( we did move the cabinet on the wall over the toilet so there is opportunity there but you'd still have to stage your towel by the sink or track water over floor. There are shower door options with towel bars but we opted against that.

Millworkman, I think I must have read somewhere that you shouldn't use granite on MDF cabinets Patricia Colwell Consulting, the vanity does not come with a top. It was just shown with a top. The Hayneedle website description said it was just the cabinet and it is just the cabinet (arrived this past Friday). Siamesey, I hear ya but since I spent a ton of money converting the tub to shower, I have to save where I can. Unfortunately, when you combine the needs of my mother (the main user of this bathroom), the style that I would like, along with the need to work around the plumbing location, I actually don't have a lot of choices. It's been really hard to combine the first two of those and find a vanity with drawers on the left hand side (the plumbing dictate). I looked at custom made and even semi custom made and no, I can't do that. Even though the vanity is made of MDF and is RTA, to me it has better quality than some of low end all wood vanities that I've seen. Also, most of the cabinets I've looked at still seem to have MDF in them somewhere, especially white cabinets which is what I wanted for this bathroom.

Finish the room then choose color - I agree! Personally I wouldn't do white or gray - I love a punch of color, especially in a bathroom. There are so many more colors than white and gray - I would love to see people be more adventurous! If you are not the adventurous type then at least get some contrast and do a darker gray or put in a chair rail and do the bottom white and darker on top... Good luck!
