Source for clear, not green-tinted large vanity mirrors?
Comments (4)Sorry, hit post too soon. Yes, starfire glass is considerably more expensive, but for a vanity mirror the cost may not be prohibitive. I know I can't afford it for the shower surround, much as I'd love to have it....See MoreNearly completed custom medicine cabinet / Large vanity mirror.
Comments (3)Yes! Thankfully we've planned for the sconce/cabinet face off. It took a lot of looking for a low-profile lamp that I loved... but I found them. I was worried that it would still be too close, but it's going to exceed my best-case scenario. Alternately, we could have done a multi-light fixture centered at the top, but I really love the look (and extra light) of two sconces through the mirror....See More1 large vs 2 small mirrors on 72" vanity?
Comments (4)I would use the full mirror. I can picture your kids being teens (if girls) and having a sleep-over where three girls could get ready with a full mirror. Though my son as a teen could spend a lot of time fussing with his hair, so maybe it's not so gender-specific. Pottery Barn has large framed mirrors like the one in your first photo for a few hundred dollars. I know they have 60", not sure about larger. But I'd get a frameless beveled mirror from a glass shop. They can cut holes to mount sconces, and I think it's a good idea to use three because you have a wide space between sinks with that style vanity. You might consider bar style sconces so that you can put them on both ends and in the middle. They're 4-5" wide and won't impede the view of someone at the sink. Side sconces provide the best lighting--no shadows fall on the face from overhead lights. Mounting lights on the mirror will also bounce the light, nice to have in a windowless room. A new look for full-length mirrors is a short mirror about 30-32" high, framed or unframed. I love this look for a long vanity. Less mirror, less cost from the glass shop!...See MoreNew bath vanity is 1/8 too large, what to do?
Comments (1)Cut the drywall as needed to fit the top is the typical solution...See Morepink_peony
