Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

I personally find classic mirrored cabinets rather unattractive, or let’s say, they carry a very nostalgic, outdated vibe.

Alibert 😎 That’s definitely outdated!

I don’t know your taste, but try searching for aluminum mirrored cabinets. Nothing nostalgic about those.

Just did... the pictures match that description. But it’s really a matter of taste. I already noticed that here. Some photos give me a headache, others just a different feeling 😉

Aside from the fact that I can’t bring myself to suggest aluminum to my wife, I quickly looked it up and still found 95% quite nostalgic.
But no big deal.

Yep!

No, weight doesn’t matter here. A client of mine sells teak wood furniture. All of it is manufactured in Indonesia and shipped whole (in containers) to Europe. You can tell where it comes from, though — the machinery looks like what we had 100 years ago. Maybe it depends on the type of wood? Where the wood grows, the production takes place? That would make sense in terms of the value chain.

And for anyone who has installed cabinets (not necessarily mirrored cabinets) recessed in drywall in the bathroom: please share your photos, that’s exactly what I’m planning to do...

We have the my view 14, also made of aluminum, but fully mirrored all around. If it reminds anyone of an Alibert, that’s fine with me, but it is practical for everyday use. ;-)

And above all, is this something that can (or should) be done by oneself, or is it better to hire the drywall contractor for it?

My idea is that the contractor simply installs a wooden box with a cutout for the power outlet in the drywall, and I would handle making the mirrored doors and shelves myself...

I would never, for any amount of money, install a mirrored cabinet in my bathroom...
But it’s no problem. I’m sure many people would also find my tiles tacky.


Shower with patterned wall tiles, blue round valve cover on the wall, and floor drain.

No, wood isn’t always processed where it is grown.
Just look at the amounts of wood coming from Canada. And the pallets that are shipped back again.

@saralina87
We should be glad it’s not like in the 1950s anymore—blue or pink bathroom tiles, and that was it.
