My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Thank you for the inquiry! The mirror was blocked out by using 2x4's mounted over existing drywall and then plywood attached as a backer for the mirror which was glued. Turned out wonderfully!

    Hello Tim, since the mirror is blocked out by using 2x4's did you start the wall tile from the edge of the 2x4? So, there are no tiles actually behind the mirror. Where is the outlet that the led lights plug into.

    Hello again! Good question, the tile does in fact go behind the mirror by about 1-1/2" so there is enough room to conceal the lighting.

    Best of luck with your project.
