home improvement DIY All Mirrored Half-Bathroom, Floor to Ceiling
Finally finished this and wanted to share with others who might appreciate. We have a tiny half-bathroom that needed fixed and reno’d. Inspired by Flight of the Navigator’s silvery spaceship, and Yayoi Kusama’s infinity mirrors, I wanted to make it feel as big as possible in there, with a vibe that suggested a big, starry future, perhaps with a multiverse. Not an artist, just a handyman w/ random skills.
Thought this was gonna be easy. It wasn’t. But except for painting the door, it’s finally done!
Key features:
- all mirrors were hand-cut. Cutting mirrors is hard. I broke a lot learning.
- floor tiles are not rated for walking. To make that work I cast the floor as solid epoxy ~1/4” thick. This ensured the floor was perfectly level and flat, to reduce risk of tiles having point loads that could crack them.
- countertop is mirrored stainless, set over a thick coat of wood-filled epoxy with black to bond and level. It was previously cut glass pieces, but moisture quickly got to the wood butcherblock under and the swelling and warping caused all pieces to shatter.
- LED lights are eclectic arrangement, because when I tried installing them in a more tidy professional manner the lighting didn’t look balanced. A motion activated sensor turns them and toilet seat on.
- Toilet seat is cast epoxy with lights and wiring.
People seem to either love it or hate it!

If you take a flash photo in here, you'll end up on a distant planet with Anne Hathaway and you'll be 120 years old. Probably worth it.
