Creative Bathroom Mirrors
A few creative bathroom mirrors to consider if you are ready to step outside of the predictable box:
This mirror is shown with front and back views so you can see the hidden storage it offers. Very sleek and if two mirrors are used side by side, the look is sensational. The mirrors glide out gracefully to reveal the contents stored on the backside. Can be wall mounted or recessed into the wall.
Or, you could forgo the mirror and just tile the walls floor to ceiling in these gorgeous mirror tiles. These specific ones are well suited for both commercial and residential use, in that they are not susceptible to the problems of cracking that standard mirror presents. Definitely a creative bathroom mirror, and great to enlarge a small space.
It is inevitable that tablet technology will find its way into the bathroom…. the above “magic mirror” was created by researchers at New York Times Lab, to bring motion activated news, weather, web surfing and email to your morning routine.

Wall Decals: Well, Actually, The Walls CAN talk….
This concept has been around forever in commercial applications, but is taking on a new wave of popularity in residences. What looks like hand painted stencils are in fact self-adhesive vinyl decals that are easy to apply and easy to remove– making them ideal for kids rooms, entertaining or holidays. There are many to chose from and designs are completely customizable in content, color, size & pattern.
If you haven’t noticed, I love great quotes. There is a lot of fun to be had with these– makes me want to throw a surprise party for someone and cover the walls in classic quotes by that person! What do you think? Care to see more?
