About a month ago I came across a store clearance sale and purchased a nice Dresser mirror, which was being sold for $5.00, I really didn't need it but I had an idea since I was preparing to update my guest bathroom. As a result I tinkered around with a few experiments and this is what I came up with. At this point, I was wondering what others may think. the Top image is the before the bottom is after. Please excuse the toilet paper...

I love it, but from the pic I think it is hung too low. It looks like it is pushing the vanity into the floor. An electrician can raise the light fixture rather easily. The pictures belowe show some interesting light options or not.

I also think you could do just plain pot lights in the ceiling and that wouuld let the mirror take Pride of Place in the room.

Great effect! I'd be tempted to stain the vanity to match the darker wood and stone grain (or in an espresso direction), but maybe that's a project for another day.

I like it hung low -- it looks like an old dresser with a connected mirror.

Nice! I would take down the wavy art and the small glass shelf - not needed with the ornateness of the mirror. Also, a shorter plant on the counter, just tall enough to hide the electrical outlet.

It's super cute! I like it with the light fixture but yeah maybe it needs to be moved up a notch. First I'd play around with the other accessories.

I would maybe remove the vase as I think it's competing. And the wavy art doesn't bother me so much but I would like to see what it looks like without it on the wall. Maybe you could repurpose that as a shelf to hold toilet paper on the floor or top of the toilet tank? Remove/edit, then play a bit.
