Which way should the medicine cabinet open?
Comments (4)how much room is between the cabinet & the wall? i have one with a mirror inside as well, and i decided to mount it so it opens towards the wall, because i have enough space to open it fully without banging into the wall. that way i can use the mirror. if i hadn't had that room, i was planning to hang it the other way. if you don't plan to use the interior mirror, i guess it depends on what it may get in the way of & what feels more natural as far as reach, etc....See Morewhich way should the shower door open?
Comments (13)Ok, hmm. Davidro - here is the "whole area". The commode room door swing is reversed to open out from where it is drawn though. Terriks, to lean in and turn on the shower, one would have to have the door way open past 90 degrees if we did option 2. Whereas option 1, you would only have to open it a hair to reach in. dekeoboe - our controls and shower heads are already placed. things to think about for next time...sigh... How important is it that you turn on the water before getting in? I've always done that, but then again I've only ever had a tub/shower combo unit. Maybe this shower is big enough to turn it on without getting a face full of cold water....See Morewhich way should neoangle shower doors open?
Comments (1)It would be nice to be able to turn the shower on from the outside easily, which usually means the hinges are opposite the controls....See MoreCabinet doors opening too far
Comments (11)I don't think my doors look too great up close LOL But it was the best I could do :) I am doing the bottoms in BM Wrought Iron. I have asked my DH to withhold judgement on that until AFTER the counters are installed. I ordered that 2 1/2 weeks ago and he said it would be about 3 weeks, so I am hoping he calls anytime now to set up installation!! We are also replacing the floors with vinyl plank in hickory. I plan on doing that thanksgiving weekend. DH has assured me he will tear out our old floor. I got a couple estimates and for everything EXCEPT whatever flooring we chose, I thought the prices were sky high. Too high for what I wanted to spend right now. But I do want it replaced. But I consider it a 5 year floor. I'd like to do the kitchen, dining and hallway all in the same flooring someday. Just can't afford it right now. My walls are BM Sweet Innocence. Uppers are painted in cabinet coat supposedly tinted BM Chantilly Lace, though it is not the same Chantilly Lace as my gallon of Aura, I don't think. It is slowly coming together. :)...See Moresuezbell
