I keep everything in my vanity drawers so much nicer for me than the medicine cabinets I have in the other two baths. I love not having one in my master. The finger prints on the mirrors drive me batty.

I'm putting in medicine cabinets. In our rentals we have drawers and a storage tower. Hate them both for meds as they get lost in the drawers and shoved to the back in the tower. I do love drawers for my makeup, hair dryer, brushes, etc though.

For the most part, medication should be kept in a relatively cool, dry environment, which makes the bathroom probably the worst place you could store them. It's true. :)

I have a tower, which I love. My pill bottles are kept in a small basket. I have plastic bins for the OTC bottles, bandaids, etc. Adjustable shelves allow for getting the right height for tall bottles. The tower isn't very deep, so things don't get lost.

I bought a massive medicine cabinet, 24x36! My house is a 1915 bungalow, so the vintage medicine cabinet would have worked aesthetically, but I wanted a bigger mirror. This is a frameless medicine cabinet, and my GC added the trim to match the vanity.

Meds are in the bedroom in a drawer or in the kitchen.

I put a medicine cabinet in one bathroom because the vanity is too small for drawers. It's not over the sink, it's recessed in the wall and has a wooden door that's going to be painted and wallpapered to match the wall.

In the other bathroom I have two shallow drawers and one tall skinny drawer for stuff.

How about a recessed medicine cabinet? That's what I was hoping for, but contractor found a pipe behind the wall so had to surface mount.

I do have a big closet in my bathroom, but I like having my medicine cabinet for everyday stuff like toothbrush and creams. I have a pedestal sink so no drawer situation for me.

I purchased a cabinet to hang in my bathroom. I have a small vanity and not enough room in the two small drawers and cabinet below for all my dang stuff!

I've only once in my life had a medicine cabinet, and I can't say I loved it. I also think they're fairly expensive for the amount of storage they provide ... however, I may use one in our powder room in the new house because we are going with a pedestal sink.

In our current bathroom, we have a small-but-functional linen cabinet, and we have a set of (labeled) plastic boxes that hold various medicines: First Aid, Cold meds, Pain meds, Mom's meds, Dad's meds, Diabetic testing, Pet meds ... we have 8 boxes, so I'm leaving something out. Keeps things well organized.

I don't particularly like having these boxes in the bathroom, and I intend to move these boxes to the pantry or the office in our new house.

I've always put in recessed medicine cabinets when I remodel a bathroom. My newest remodeled Master Bath is small, and the new medicine cabinet holds all my stuff.

The 'picture worthy' renovations you see are skewed towards large bathrooms which have plenty of storage options. Medicine cabinets (besides being a terrible environment to actually store medicine) are not particularly convenient storage. We've had them in our smaller bathrooms, but were very happy to have the luxury of a large double vanity with oodles of storage in our new master and main bath.

So that is just open? I don't think I would like that - you can see everything, and you essentially lose the use of your mirror. I do like your lights - that's a neat look.

Oh now that looks nice! So the doors slide UP? I don't think I've seen that before. Very nice.

Kohler Verdera. Awesome recessed (or flush) medicine cabinets. Some sizes can be ordered with wood frames in a range of designs and colors. We just installed the more expensive soft-close versions that come with the flip-out magnifying mirrors. So solid. Wonderful storage. Worth their weight in gold. I will never be without them.

In our previous house, we wanted a medicine cabinet (which we never keep medicine in), but didn't want a useless mirror. We decided to go with a framed art look. We wanted an electric outlet inside so that toothbrushes and razor and their cords were off the counter. We ended up having a cabinet built because whoever built the house spaced the studs on that wall oddly so there were no off-the-shelf possibilities available. We chose the frame on the door to suit our project, but you could choose any sort of framing you wanted. We put a couple of our travel photos on the door, but, again, you choose your art to match your room.

Do recessed if you can. I'm hoping to do something like this in our hall bathroom. I'd prefer to not have a vanity in this bathroom, or a relatively small one with a single drawer.

We replaced the mirrors above sinks in every bath in our home with kohler recessed medicine cabinets. I dont have large enough bathrooms to give up that storage.

We are building with recessed medicine cabinets in the master:

Have had three houses with big flat mirrors and hated them. The vertical storage of a medicine cabinet is so much more practical imho.

I will be taking out a small med cab on the side wall and making it into an exposed shelf. Then we are putting in two med cabs, 21 x 34" with electrical outlets inside for the toothbrush and anything else electrical that we acquire. I expect to hold all my hair stuff and other grooming supplies in there.

Meds are in a drawer by my chair in the family room. OTC meds and first aid supplies are in the linen closet in the hall. I am putting a 30 x 42 x 12"cabinet into the wall behind the clothes closet in the next room. We are moving out the wall a foot into that bedroom to get a larger shower, so the closet next to the shower is moving out a foot, too. I am stealing that foot back by using the bottom 48" as a cabinet (and the base molding) and the top will be a recessed towel hanging area. TP, extra shampoo, hand towels and a few other things can reside there. Our vanity will have only a single row of shallow drawers, so the cabinet will be our major storage.

If you look online, there are a lot of medicine cabinets still available, up to 8" deep, if you want to pay the price!
