As I was looking through the real estate listings in Birmingham, Alabama, I came across this master bathroom that stopped me in my tracks. What’s going on with the lights and mirrors? Looks like they’re a little short on both, doesn’t it?

P.S. Have you been to HOMEdigz yet? It’s a fun online forum for people who love houses to chat about their projects and make some new friends. Hope you’ll stop by and say hello!
Tomorrow is Hooked on Fridays, so get your posts ready to start linking up here at 10 p.m. tonight (ET).
I agree, something IS missing here. I do like the window but wish they had made it a door.
Perhaps a re-do that stopped mid way? Odd!
That’s a great pic. In fact, the house we are currently living in had a huge mirror in between the double sinks but no mirrors in front of the sinks – and some very weird lighting. Oh yeah, along with that, they had an old timey telephone in that bathroom. Very odd. . . .:)
The fact that the two mirrors are different sizes or one is hung vertically and the other is hung horizontally bothers me, I think, more than the fact that they are too small!! My Monkism is really affected by that!
And I would like all of you to know that my house is listed in Birmingham, Alabama, but THAT IS NOT MY HOUSE!!!
I feel better now…thanks!!

It looks goofy because of the mirror placement (IMO). I bet the mirror used to be located under the lights- right over the sink. Perhaps they wanted to create the illusion of a bigger space by creating a separate vanity area? I bet it’d look fine if they took down the smaller mirror and centered the larger one under the lights. (or there could be something that I’m missing all together).

I don’t get not having a mirror above the sink. I would put one great big rectangular mirror right across that wall so it extends from the sink all the way to the vanity area. With a silver frame. And separate lighting for the sink area and the vanity area. That little table lamp isn’t going to cut it, plus it just clutters up the counter.
I really like the floor-to-ceiling windows — but that could be dangerous in a bathroom!!

It’s not missing. Not to whoever decorated it. It looked marvelous first through the gimlet pitcher and then from that spot on the floor where she finally passed out. Ugh. Lordy!

I can see that whomever hung the mirrors wanted one lower for the vanity to use for make-up application, but this is just silly!
So weird! I bet it used to have one huge stock mirror across that entire vanity. They probably had plans to fix it up all purty, this was their ‘temporary’ solution, and they never finished it before they put it on the market. I also love that huge window, but think it would’ve been perfect as a door.

Taste. I believe that may be what’s missing.

Very odd. You would of thought their realtor would of had them fix that.

Good Lord…I wonder what little “surprises” are in the rest of the house!! It’s amazing what happens when you cut corners. Little hits here & there really make a big difference!!

Everything looks off-kilter. I like symmetry and that room desperately needs some.
Hi Julia
Sorry that it’s been awhile since I’ve visited. I was in Colorado recently visiitng my little grandson.
This bath is so large but those mirrors look like after thoughts. So crazy!
What’s with the lighting? None where the mirrors are and some where the sink is?
Well….one person could have the right side of their face in the light and the other person could have the left side of theirs. Then, they could switch sides, I guess.
Hi Julia! I have not been on your blog in forever. It looks amazing! I can see why they put the mirror there for makeup application and such, but I definitely could have been achived better. It looks so goofy. Maybe the husband is 6’10″ and the wife is 4’7″…lol
Here’s what i think
The house was built by a production builder that has ONE light over the sink as standard location. (the electrian just works off of standard plans)
Then the home buyer wanted to be able to sit at the knee opening (thus the one mirror) AND then to balance that out they added the second
Heck — what ever happened sure looks wackie-doodle!
