Thanks again, folks. writersblock...always enjoy your posts. leah-yeah, i did take into consideration what exactly will be reflected. Our room is pretty, and it will oppose french doors across the room...so i think that will look cool! thank you, teacates! and mclarke and mlb! bronwyns-well, I am a vodka martini girl...but I think taht will do the trick. The BIG trick, tho...is to have HUBBY indulge in a few cocktails. That way...i look like a SUPERMODEL in his eyes! :) marti8-You make the best point of all. I know these design ideas come full circle. Also, I am at an age where i like what I like, and everyone else be damned! Well, I guess that is not 100% true or I would not be on a decorating message board...but you know what I mean! newdawn-kookooachoo, mrs Robinson! BTW, you don't realize how perfect that is, because I have started a few threads regarding my desire to decorate my 70's ranch with a 70's flair! I just think of mirrored doors as more "80's." That's where I have a problem. (not that there was anything wrong with the 80's! LOL) justgotobeme-YES! Actually, I must admit I was talking about the 1st link. Just the plain old doors. BTW, that is almost exactly what my room looks like...that same color green, that same color trim, and almost the same color wood (mine is a little darker.)But I do love the second link. I will have to look into those further. That might be just what I need. do you know where they are available? You are always so very helpful! walkin-even I admit, those mirrors are a bit much! But great link, thank you, it was a funny (yet informative)read. nicole-thanks for the input. I am pretty sure I will find the doors functional AND pretty. bbstxx-that is GORGEOUS! When you say antiqued...do you mean like smoked mirrors? Wonder where I can find the doors in your picture...do you know? Thank you for sharing that.

You've gotten some excellent advice, including the adding 30-50% to the cost. LOL. I would have no problem living in the rental unit during reno. In my first home, my ex and I did all the work ourselves. I'm very handy and so was he so it worked out well. I painted, wallpapered, laid floor tile, helped him hang cabinets, etc. We hired out the plumbing when he decided he could take out a kitchen in the master bedroom the previous owners had put in, and wound up not being able to shut the water off. (Don't ask. lol) In our second home, we did all the demo work and then hired out for the major work of rebuilding walls, etc. I then painted, tiled the backsplash, etc. In our condo we just sold, I decided I don't have the time, patience, or the back anymore to do all that. LOL. I'm too old.

This sounds like something we could custom order for you. We can get bifold closet doors with wood are the edge of each "slab" and a mirror in the middle. So it wouldn't be a complete mirror front only, not sure what exactly you are looking for. It would look like the image below only a 4 or 2 door bifold unit depending on how large your opening is. Just an idea :) Try checking out our website http://www.doorbuy.com/. Happy Houzzing!

I personally believe every bedroom should have a full length mirror for dressing or at least one in the bedroom hall for all to use. Since the rooms are smaller I think the mirror closet doors are a keeper. Function first. If you really don't like them you can always attach a full length mirror on the back of the bedroom door.
