What are my options for this medicine cabinet mirror?

6 years ago

My first plan was to fit a vintage mirror over the hole & macguyver a hinge or sliding mechanism to allow for access to the cabinet. I’ve seen some great examples on Pinterest.

Another idea I had was to just replace the sliding glass doors that came with the original cabinet & fit a vintage frame over that boring white frame.

I don’t love this option mostly because I’m afraid it will have a cheesy “cheap DIY” look about it a la TLC’s Trading Spaces.

As to options for color -- would likely stay with white.

Is this a box slipped into the wall and the frame a part of that box?

Have you considered recreating your medicine cabinet storage space in a cabinet above the toilet and just adding a large frame-less mirror behind / over you sink?

I would replace the slider and just paint the existing frame, or gold-silver leaf it.... the swing of putting a door on it would be pretty big and kinda cumbersome.

no option to remove the cabinet and replace with a nicer recessed cabinet? I guess your high faucet rules out a lot of normal options...

Are you able to remove the door? Take it to a glass shop and have them add a mirror to the back of the frame.

Measure the opening and see if you can replace it with a new recessed medicine cabinet.

I would not give up the medicine cabinet unless, you don't need the additional storage.
