You can find "vintage medicine cabinet" on ebay for $50-100. "Clawfoot tub shower rod" can be found there, too. We are in a bungalow and I recommend sconces with 1 ceiling light. I wouldn't go too frugally on the plumbing. We tried higher end cheap and have had to replace the faucet. We purchased a cabinet like the one i've linked to for bathroom storage (yes, I stripped the paint and stained it). It's in the closet of the bedroom next to our bathroom. Yes, it's a short walk, but not bad. We did that so we could have the pedestal sink, which we bought at a salvage store and had resurfaced. We have some open shelving in the bathroom. This setup works for us. Have fun with this! and enjoy your "new" window! Here is a link that might be useful: Cabinet

What a great idea! I just love the table in the first pic, too.

Javachik, the hardware is attached on the mirrored-door side with some kind of rivets. That is ok; once I remove the hardware from the door, I can reattach it to the picture frame or wood cabinet door using very short wood screws. I may ruin the old mirrored door in the removal process, but that is ok. I don't really care. If I can save the mirror, I will, and use it somewhere else in a picture frame. I am so excited about this new idea I can hardly stand it! Turning lemon into lemonades, we are. Carol

you'd have much bigger problems with an overhead light when you opened your cabinet!!! I'd see whether (a) the cabinet can be fully or partially recessed, which will also give you more visual space. otherwise, (b) just get sconces that stand out from the wall enough to get past the cabinets. You might find that most wall sconces already do that -- even if it's partially blocked, most of the light will be coming forward and probably still be ok.
