This mirror matches a bathroom vanity that I designed. I didn't want to have a beautiful bathroom vanity and then an ugly medicine cabinet above it, so I designed a mirror with some storage and display space. The design is essentially two squares that overlap to create the mirror space and then the additional space on the top, bottom and sides. The entire piece was constructed by an amateur craftsman using standard shop tools and basic solid red oak lumber. It was stained with multiple coats of an espresso finish stain and then sprayed with a top coat to seal it up. Doors with hinges were added to the right and bottom openings to provide some concealed storage for bathroom essentials while the left and top spaces were left open to hold some decor pieces. A standard piece of mirror was cut to fit the inside space and is recessed into the frame so that the entire piece fits flush against the wall. Holes were drilled in the doors and standard cabinet handles were added. It turned out to be a perfect compliment to the matching vanity and a functional modern piece with a lot of style.
