I like the clean look of an oversized mirror over the sink— with dual sconces installed through the glass, rather than off to the side.

I want to keep the bathroom design bright and clean, and kind of modern… but also maintain a vintage feeling to match the age of the house.

It will probably be a maintenance issue, with water splashing up.  But as usual, I’ve decided to dispense with practicality.

We will frame out the mirror with white molding and trim. Which will look great with subway tile, about halfway up the wall.

The other element I find really appealing is an oversized medicine cabinet on the sidewall. I particularly like the flush-mounted versions with a tall, mirrored door to match the vanity’s mirror.

Like this setup, but with a custom mirrored door.

I would want to design a mirrored door for the medicine cabinet like this:

UPDATE:  See the custom medicine cabinet we designed and built.

I also LOVE this sink… No counter space, but so charming!

There’s no source listed on Houzz, but I’m positive  the vintage-looking medical cabinets, and medicine cabinets are from Restoration Hardware.
