Mirror, Mirror

The bathroom had a large piece of mirror.  It was nothing special, except it's big. There no bevels, no frames, it was held by two J-clips and u-clips on the bottom.

After the bathroom remodeling, the replaced vanity cabinet was couple inches taller than the old one, causing the mirror not to fit between the back splash and vanity light bar.

I was given two options to have the mirror re-sized.


Bring it in to the glass shop =  $25 cut
Having send one out to the house to cut the mirror and re-install the mirror = $152.

Taking-in the mirror for $25 sounds like a logical choice but it's likely that I have many chances to break the 4 ft by 5 ft mirror.  The cost of the mirror runs over $150.00

What did I do?  I bought two framed beveled mirrors for $150 total. They covered up the same foot print - actually - it looked nice.

I gave the old simple mirror to charity for "tax write-off"..
