All new mirrors

It has been about a year and a half since we bought this house. It took some time to get the bathroom painted, new vanity mirrors hung, a shaving mirror put up on the wall, and a new picture hung on the wall. The picture is thanks to my mom who has been very generous in finding and purchasing art for us from the area I grew up, both my husband and I grew up in South Florida so it is nice to have some art from our area on the walls of our house.

Master Bathroom (part 4) - shaving mirror


My husband had one additional request, a shaving mirror. We had one in the house we used to rent and I admit it was rather useful to have it. Now that he started straight razor shaving he thinks this will be even more useful to have than it was in the rental when he was just using a safety razor. I didn't realize just how expensive these shaving mirrors can get, some of them were several hundred dollars a piece. I knew there was no way we wanted to spend that much on a shaving mirror, at least not right now, so the search went on to find a reasonable shaving mirror for a more budget minded price. I actually managed to find one that extends up to 30 inches from the wall and is only $24.86 at The Home Depot. I figured that getting one that extends that far out might be rather useful, especially when I am cutting my own hair - getting the back is always a challenge. Of course if money were super tight I did actually find one for $4.99 at IKEA that reviewed equally well, but it only extends out 10 inches.
