That looks like the convention of about 4" in the picture...maybe you could go 6" to reduce splashing--or you could go all the way to the counter if you don't mind cleaning the bottom of the mirror. I probably would not ease the top of the splash, I think I would want a straight edge-to-straight edge relationship between the marble and the mirror. I personally really like the look of boundary to boundary mirror like this (whatever the boundary may be). That is a great looking set up in your sample picture. One of my favorite small powderrooms has a counter to ceiling wall to wall mirror with a chandelier hanging in front of it. I think its clean and timeless, not d---- like some people like to call it:)

Turned out PERFECT Klinger. It's not taking you long to perty up your house since you moved in has it girlie?? It's just beautiful, would love to do that in our one bathroom. Did you work on this while it was on the wall?? If so, how the heck did you?? LOL Great job, and I loved you eye candy sight Calamity showed us What's next??

Thanks both. mvcanada, we were thinking of buying a vanity/sink combo online so not necessarily able to buy extra material for backsplash and counter shelf, though if we go with a basic white it shouldn't be too hard to match, right? I can't decide if I would prefer a shelf that extends from the sink countertop, or one that is separate and between the sink and mirror. Might depend on which vanity we choose (still looking, as evidenced by my other post). But good point on running whatever we have to meet the large mirror. pamal66, can you clarify your last bit about the metal strip or pencil liner? Is that for the end of the backsplash on the edge of the sink so it doesn't feel like it just ends by accident? We did consider tiling the wall with the sink/toilet but we were feeling like the current half wall of tile was making the room feel smaller, and with the layout, we'd have to tile everything or just the tub (because tiling by the sink/toilet plus the tub but not the last wall where the vent is would just feel unfinished). We haven't decided on wall or floor colors yet, though the fixtures and tub tile will probably be a basic white. We love this floor: And these are some of our vanity inspirations: (this last one with a white top instead) One thought I had about the tile border was that if it doesn't match the tub tile, it could match whatever we put in the shower niche, but that's as far as I've gotten in finding an actual tile!

Well, I would forgo the white and have a cohesive bathroom that includes almond... It will look better than trying to "ignore" it... I happen to like almond in the bathroom and am hoping it becomes popular again...you can do gray with it, but it's not so easy. You need a warm gray paint. I like this mirror for inspiration.. Here's a pretty shower curtain with beige and gray...
