I suspect they did this because they didn't want to move the electrical boxes either. I agree with Patricia. Assuming there's enough conductor to move the boxes, it's not that big a deal. And you know it's gonna bug you till you do it right. Amirite? ;-)

Move the electric - no other way since the lights generally have a mounting bracket that straddles across the center of the electrical box. This is a perfect example of someone with a defective tape measure.... ;)

I think side by side pedestal sinks would bother me more than misaligned mirrors. I would probably wait, use it as a conversation piece, redo all with a proper vanity and bowl later when budget allows.

I would do it the right way. I feel two separate sinks in this way look like they were installed that way to cut costs. Choose a double sink vanity, align the electrical and install 1 mirror, if you move the outlet lower (it is too high) or two mirrors accordingly. Once you decide on a double vanity and it's size, hopefully it can line up correctly for the plumbing, but that can be adjusted to the sink drains also.

Haha, believe me everyone - the fact they used 2 pedestal skinks instead of a proper vanity bothers us as well, whoever they hired to do this “remodel” definitely didn‘t use a level or tape measure.

Another fun part about this bathroom is that they combined 2 rooms to make it larger and instead of putting drywall to cover an existing door, they just removed the hinges and framed it in permanently with the flooring - it can’t be opened. The door to nowhere. The whole project is a head scratcher!

Makes sense on moving the electrical box though, seems like to just fix it the correct way is the only remedy. Thanks for the input!

"whoever they hired to do this “remodel” definitely didn‘t use a level or tape measure."

Yeah, and they didn't own a Water Pic or hair dryer or shaver or electric toothbrush--or any of the various appliances normal people use on a daily basis. Pedestal sinks are for powder rooms only.

The remodelers (as I was buying the house) put a pedestal sink in my master bath in the middle of a 12-foot-long wall. It looked stupid and was just a bad idea. I made them install a real vanity.

So, before you move the electrical boxes, consider installing a proper vanity. If you move the electrical boxes first, they won't line up with the vanity basins, and you'll be right back where you started. And se don't want that, do we?

I would remove the mirrors and hang one big horizontal framed mirror....move the outlet off to one side..so easy to do and do a quick wall patch...a large mirror will cover up the patched outlet hole...least expensive way to take care of this issue for now...

this will help until you can redo it all..new vanity and move lighting.

I would check to see if that outlet is GFCI protected. I would worry a little....

The answer is yes, there are fixtures that will allow you to offset the placement of the fixture. It's a matter of a large back plate.

Is one sink higher than the other?

Yep, the left sink is higher than the right! It’s a fun room.

Flip................with little attention to detail...

"Move the electric"

"move the boxes, it's not that big a deal."

"IMO it would be easier to just have the electrical moved"

Maybe, maybe not.

I redid my bathroom and found that there were vent pipes for the drains that were centered on the sinks that prevented the electrical boxes from being centered over the sinks. If you want to center lamps over the sinks, you may have to find models that you can attach to the wall. Most fixtures attach to an electrical box; I didn't find any that didn't.

I've installed lots o flights that were "meant" to attach to a box...... drag the wires over to the box anchor it to the wall.

"I've installed lots of lights that were "meant" to attach to a box...... drag the wires over to the box anchor it to the wall."

Yup. If your fixture is wide enough to cover the electrical box, wires, drywall mess, and metal plate to which you attach the fixture.

You can use pancake electrical boxes - they are the thickness of sheetrock - so if there are vent pipes or ducting or some other craziness behind the wall you just have to make sure there is enough room to put either a mounting bar or piece of wood to secure it.

I had a lot of wonky things in my walls and a very good electrician - so I learned a lot...

I was about to reply that symmetry is overemphasized, but then I saw the pics. :-D

Lord, that’s bad.

Edit to add: the vanities are different! :-O holy cow
