My neighbor and I searched high and low for a mirror for her bathroom. We were able to find smaller sizes but she needed a large rectangle. Many of the mirrors out there are a plastic type material instead of wood. That is not necessarily a bad thing. It makes the mirror lighter weight, but she wanted wood and a silver finish and that was hard to find. She bought her mirror at Crate and Barrel. They had it in stock at the store. They had several in the store and others on line (no shipping charges if you pick it up at their store).
If you have a Marshall's/Home Good's store near you, they may have mirrors. One of several Marshall's in my area had a lot of mirrors while others had basically none. Most of those at Marshall were plastic frames and gold, black or brown. You might also try Pier 1. There were quite a few mirrors on Kohl's.com but none in the Kohls stores.

I had my cabinet maker make frames and had mirrors cut to fit. (The same guys that made my shower door took care of the mirrors.)

Edited for a typo.

Where to get bathroom mirror with traditional frame?

Or find/make a frame that you like and get a mirror cut for it. For traditional style have them bevel the edge of the mirror. It's more expensive this way than using an off-the-shelf beveled mirror, but you can have a more interesting frame that way. I've made some craftsman style mirrors in cherry with through tenons and ebony pins that came out really well. It's nice not to be restricted to stock sizes.

I do have to say that I've seen the Kirkland mirror, (or something just like it), on display at The Tile Shop, and it's just gorgeous. I uderstand if you think it's too ornate for the vanity, but it doesn't bring in any extra elements (like the mother of pearl). It's a great looking mirror.

Better to cut down bathroom mirror or buy new ones?

We had the same size mirror in both our bathrooms. We (DH & I) remodeled the guest bath ourselves, and were terrified of dealing with the mirror! We got it off the wall in one piece and called several recycling and glass companies trying to get rid of it, and no one would deal with that large a piece of glass. So we bought a glass scoring tool with the intention of cutting it into smaller pieces for recycling. We were totally unable to score or cut the glass! We ended up putting it between layers of plastic drop cloths and hitting it with hammers to break it, and even then it was extremely hard to break. We asked our GC to do the same thing you are proposing in the master bath. They successfully removed the mirror and his glass and cabinet guys magically made it turn into two beautifully framed mirrors. I guess my point is that you may need professional, industrial-grade tools to cut the mirror. And if you decide to get rid of it I hope you have better luck finding someone who will haul it away.

Where to buy large bathroom mirrors

Instead of one long mirror we opted for two IKEA mirrors. If the counter had been big enough to fit 3, we would have done that. The arched top of the mirrors matched our cabinets. In the other bathroom we bought a plastic mirror from Home Depot for $20. I figured it would warp or something, but it has been perfect. It is entirely plastic and appears to be all one piece including the frame. Light as a feather. I'm an optics nut when it comes to mirrors, so the HD mirror had to pass my inspection in the store. If a mirror has any fun house effects like wobbly, ripples, or distortion at extended distances, I don't look at it. This HD mirror looked perfect even when reflecting the walls of the store 200 feet away. It is a big mirror but not nearly as big as you're looking for.

DD2 found a nice mirror at World Market for her powder room, last house. Two of mine came from locally owned home stores, 1 is an antique and 3 were custom made at my local framing shop.

My medicine cabinets are from restoration hardware. For the mirrors, I got one at an antique mall, one on overstock and one at home goods. I would check Craigslist too.

I bought mine through Bellacor and am very happy with it and their service. Their site is great to use because you can filter by style, finish, etc.

I had a glass company cut mirrors and then I picked out frames at Hobby Lobby and they built the frames and assembled it all.

Hi fivethree,

I fretted over matching the mirror frames to the light fixtures so I had these mirrors made by a local glass shop. It really wasn't as expensive as I thought it would be.

I also looked at Kirklands. You can return them to the store if they don't work, which I did with a silver pair before I decided on the custom made.

Graphik Dimensions operates as Pictureframes.com and they have some good prices. Just make a selection for a frame, and you will be given the option to have it done with mirror, or as a cork, white, or blackboard.

I hope that helps!

Good luck and happy shopping!

I have one from Pottery Barn and one from Restoration Hardware. Both are wall mount pivot mirrors. I believe Restoration Hardware has quite a selection of contemporary styled mirrors.
