Both of the bathrooms had the original medicine cabinets, the downstairs bathroom has one that hangs on the wall, the upstairs bathroom cabinet sets inside the wall. I decided that instead of having new glass cut and drilled for the pulls I would re silver the original mirrors. Not too many places these days still re silver, and if they do you will pay big dollars. Silver has gone up immensely over the last few years. The place I took mine to was fairly close, but in a bad area of town. (park in the bank)
14808 Gratiot Avenue Detroit, MI 48205-1943 - (313) 521-1888
I took the four mirrors in and it took about 3 weeks to get them back. Well worth the wait, to have them cut would have been just around the same amount of money, but the glass would not have been as thick. I'm happy with the results and just love the cabinets. I love the old green textured glass, stainless trim rim and tiny stainless pulls.Heres what they looked like prior to me refininishing them.
After a bit of work, cleaning the paint off the stainless, and rerpainting the inside, cleaning the glass and re silvering the mirrors, just like new.
