Can you re-hang it? May be a pain, but you may be happier in the long run. Don't settle. You'll have to live with your decision for a long time.

I'm not liking the light fixture, too dated looking. Can you return it.?

you can frame it if you would like,instead of framing the outside of the mirror,frame the mirror by gluing the frame onto the mirror.check out the "Mirror Mate Frames"

Oh no. Yes I thought it was pretty elegant. Here's a better pic. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cascade-12-Light-Crystal-Bathroom-Vanity-Light-Wall-Sconce-60-Long-Beautiful-/271308971904?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

My time is short to do so but yes I can. I was going for a romantic look. Did I totally miss the mark? I will be changing out to granite, changing sinks, wall, etc., not vanity but can paint.

Also I inadvertently posted 2x sorry and getting responses on both. Tx!

If you love it, keep it! It's your space and you know what you like. I have no suggestions for finishing the mirror, but I don't like the suggestion that your taste in light fixture is wrong. There must be a way to get the mirror the way you want it. But it's just a mirror. The light is a real focal point in the room.

Mirror mates is exactly what I was going to do but I'd don't see how that's possible due to the thickness of a frame. There is absolutely no room. The electrical box is right, right there so I don't see how it can be moved any higher Finishing off the mirror is important to me as it would get away from that typical builder look. Looking to update the look of this dated 14 year bathroom. So confused now. I may have to return.

sorry that i confused you,but usually the thickness of the mirror don't matter.try to find the 1/8 or 1/4 inch thick frame and by gluing it onto the mirror itself you should be ok.

Dated or not - the light fixture?? Soliciting your opinion please. This is driving me mad, as you see I'm still up. Here are a couple of other photos close up as it's a hard one to photograph. Honesty is always best. Again updating entire bathroom in stages. Was looking for what I thought was something I thought Candice Olson would use. Perhaps the order of my choices are getting me in trouble as far as picturing it in total.

The light fixture is not dated and you chose it because you love it so use it. My suggestion is to cut the mirror down so you have space for a nice frame to compliment the crystal and make it a size that gives some separation from the vanity top and the light fixture.

I really like your first idea. Do you know if it can be cut down horizontally while leaving it on the wall? Also do you think the light is giving me the look i want to achieve in the end? I think I can get some sleep soon. Thank you!

I think you can install the fixture lower down right through the mirror and frame above it. We had a large frameless mirror above our double vanity. Our contractor installed a frame, put extra tiles down the center( to make it seem as though they were 2 separate mirrors) and added new lowered lights. I think it looks much better

Just a suggestion but you could frame the mirror with these diamond mirror crystal glass mosaic tiles. These tiles https://www.houzz.com/products/diamond-mirror-crystal-glass-mosaic-tile-prvw-vr~3259004 could be cut into strips and you could have them glued right onto the mirror itself.

I've just come across that I was wondering as I read if something like that might be available, Mark. You're my personal hero of the day. Play the look up, I say. Would it be possible to put crystal door knobs on to the vanity doors? Or am I getting out of hand with that idea?

Romantic = flowers. How about a small milk glass vase with seasonal blooms? The one below is from http://www.etsy.com/shop/mymilkglassshop.

Not sure what I'm seeing reflected in the mirror to the right, where you're standing to take the picture, Brgirl. Another mirror? Is that one necessary?

I love the big art in the bathroom, but where are the fluffy white towels? I think the fixture is fa-bu-lous, by the way.

Sigh. For "I've just come across that" read "I've just come across this thread and". There's a hole in the brain, dear Lisa dear Lisa.

It looks nice and you like it. Several options already provided, but you might want to take it down if work being done on the room...dust on crystal a pain to clean :)

Are you sure you can't move the electrical box? Might be a hassle, but you'll end up satisfied in the end.

Dclostboy saved me with removing fixture during the work. There's still the removal of the countertop, replacing the shower doors to frameless glass and replacement of the white builder square tiles in shower/around tub and wall. How do you clean all the crystals, by hand???? Did I get myself into a labor intensive project for life?

Rina. - I had medicine cabinet open in pic and you are also seeing a full-length mirror on closet door. I had needed one long ago and mounted it.

I need to check with husband re moving the electrical box higher if needed. Don't know if it can be hung higher w/o that. He had mentioned the hole of the box showing but sure it can be covered somehow. He's been patient w me but will inquire. It may be beyond his expertise and we'l need an electrician. I know better done right lindirdh.

I like the mirrored crystal glass mosaic option but thinking there's too much glass/mirror going on - would need something "heavier" to anchor the look. Ya think? Will be using uba tuba granite top.

This has kept me up a good part of the night.....call an electrician, call a glass tile person, return the light (time short to return), look for other vanity lights that are in the 60" range,.....decisions, decisions..

Call an electrician It bothers me that you are losing sleep over this since the answer is so simple. Call an electrician.

The fixture isn't outdated. Some options:

- remove the mirror and replace with two mirrors instead (much more glam)
- hang mirrors over existing mirror
- buy two beautiful frames only and hang on top of existing mirror

call an electrician or replace the mirror.
the light is lovely.

Glue a frame right on top of the mirror. I did this in my guest bath and it was very easy.

Mama dubs, that sounds food only problem is the top of the mirror where the light fixture is. There's no room for the frame to go straight across. I'm left with all the wonderful suggestions left above.

Would framing the mirror up to the ends of each side off the light fixture be too too weird on the eyes? If you look at or even up into the bottom of the light, you can't see where the wall itself or mirror starts or stops so it could be left as is.

brgirl---I am serious. This shouldn't be that hard. You have a decision to make. Do I like this light fixture enough to keep it? Do I truly love this? If you do, then I suggest hiring someone to raise that electrical box. (Because it sounds like you really want a frame on that mirror) My husband can do almost anything with remodeling, but he knows his limits. I used to have one centered light over my mirror (one long unframed mirror like yours). Then I decided I wanted two lights, so my hubby did that for me, which meant he had to sheetrock over the existing hole and place two new electrical boxes for the new lights. I ended up with a new framed mirror, also. (I wanted a beveled mirror, so I did splurge on a new one instead of framing directly to the glass) I don't know how much an electrician would charge for doing this, but I'd hate for you to look at this years down the road and say, "Ya know, I really wish I'd have gone ahead and done what I really wanted!" It's your bathroom--listen to your heart and do it the way you want! (My past experiences tell you this!)

'Nuf said. Going with moving the fixture up. Do want that finished look w the frame. Now to talk husband into it. Who knows he may know how to do it. Thank you all! You're invaluable.

Seems like the light is too low. Can you move it up a bit and center it ? You can buy frames to put over your mirror.
