bathroom mirrored wall- has anyone got a photo?

15 years ago

A few weeks ago I saw a photo of a bathroom with a mirror wall and the light hung on the mirror. Has anyone got a photo of something like that?

I'm thinking of not doing framed mirrors but instead doing a mirrored wall behind the vanity. I want to see some modern takes on that. Thanks.

Well, it's new, but not exactly modern. Is this what you mean? We originally thought we were going to do a framed mirror in between the sconces, but once the tile was in, it just called out for a big sheet o'mirror.

Yes, that looks very nice and fits that space real well.
Anyone else?

Has anyone seriously regretted marble in their bathroom?
Q

I've had marble in my bathroom for ~4 years now. Not only was it a lot more expensive than budgeted because there's a lot more wastage while cutting the tile, but four years later, I am not sure if I would do it again. Of course the beauty of it is ethereal. We recently got porcelain tile in our kitchen that "looks like marble", but.....one month after installation, it's no marble, although it is very relaxing to walk on a surface that would forgive you for spilling wine, soy sauce, lemon juice, tomato ketchup and bunch of other things. Marble maintenance is painful. Even a bottle of toilet cleaner left on the tile will leave a permanent ring on the stone. So, my advice is this: try looking into alternatives. At the same time, if you must get marble in your bathroom, do your due diligence on how to keep it clean without etching it. A lot of cleaners will etch it. It's not a material I would choose for a bath other than Master bath where access is limited and people who use the space are careful.

Has anyone 'framed' a plate glass mirror in bathroom?

duchamp, I checked my clippings, I didn't save it and the post is so old it's dropped off the bathroom forum. Are you looking for how to build a niche (my husband just built it to my specification for overall height and height from the floor between the studs in the wall) or just the inspiration photo? It wasn't a "how to," just a photo which I ultimately adapted because I couldn't get it to work for me as it was. That was a bit stressful initially because I wanted it to be just that way, but I realized I could make it my way. I had the general concept but I couldn't recall how the glass shelf was supported so that it wasn't obvious, that's why I wanted the picture; I wanted to do it "right." The inspiration photo's magazine rack was hmmm....made with painted strips of wood, more country I think and I knew that wasn't going to get made and found the Pottery Barn rack for a great price on eBay. It was just easier to pop the purchased rack in and I like the final result better. I purchased a tempered glass shelf cut to my dimensions online, I'm not sure if the inspiration photo used tempered glass but I thought it would be safer even though I don't have kids running around. When it first was installed all I could notice was how the greenish tint to the glass edge clashed with the green paint on the wall, I don't notice it anymore. We ended up supporting the shelf (because I never could figure it out from the picture) with small, square dowels painted to blend. Again, I had had a different thing in mind with hardware but I guess I was dreaming that that existed so we needed to adapt. It's funny how the project caused so much fuss at the time because I wanted perfect and with all the adaptations I thought I was going away from perfect but of course in the end, it's perfect!

Has anyone run into an issue with putting a washer/dryer in a bathroom
Q

We've had w/d in the master bath for 22 years. We love it. No negative issues. We do have an exhaust fan in the bathroom. The moisture in the room is vented outside and has not corroded our appliances. This is an add-on master bath we built and had all inspections done and passed. I don't remember it being a hurdle to clear, but maybe the building codes have changed since then. We have exhaust to outside dryer. We used to have Fridgeidaire/Electolux dryer in place, no heat added to the room. Now we have Hotpoint/GE dryer and it does add heat to the room. This is welcome in the winter, but in the summer it can make a warm room a bit hot as suezebell mentions. (we don't have A/C) The heat issue probably depends on the dryer itself. All the dryers I've had in my life have added heat to a room, except for the Fridgedaire/Electrolux model.

The photos above show lovely bathrooms. However, I would not recommend a wall of mirrors. I have this in my master bath and it reflects everything you have in the bathroom -- towels, all of the junk on the vanity tops, the shower, bathtub, etc. I don't want to see my entire bathroom in the mirror. I'm trying to figure out a way to get my DH to remove them and put up 2 smaller framed mirrors.

Budge1 - that's lovely! How did you make the holes in the mirror so that you could install the lights?

thanks!

We got a wall of mirror partly because our master bath isn't huge and we have no natural light in there. We love it! (went with a small tile backsplash above the sink to avert some of the splashing, but DH still manages to get toothpaste on the mirror there anyway)

We got some guff from one of the mirror co's I had out to discuss cutting holes for the sconces. We didn't go with them. Went with a good company (lots of Street of Dreams homes) that had no problem with it at all.

I'll try to take a pic this weekend. Definitely did modern. We have these sconces and downlights over the vanity.

Here is a link that might be useful: our sconces -- the mirror makes the room extra bright :)

Ours is not finished but we did that in our master and the lights are installed into the mirror. Similar to Budge but contemporary. I love it but I also wanted to see the reflection of the open shower room that takes up the whole half of the bath opposite the mirror. I could look at the combination of marble and glass tile all day! I have dreamed of this natural light drenched bathroom for years while showering in a small dark dingy shower stall and I love seeing it all. I almost let myself be talked out of the cream colored tumbled Botticino marble I have coveted for years. So glad I didn't - even though I had to pick through 800 sq feet myself to get the right tiles for the floor - as I just love everything about it! Anyway, I digress ;-)

Our look is somewhat contemporary and clean so there isn't a lot of visual clutter to begin with.

The mirror installer used some kind of glass drill type tool to make the holes for the lights.

I think it is one of those personal preference things - if you love the look you will be happy with it.
