Many people remodel their bathrooms in middle age, even late middle age. There seems to be a biological clock that drives the need for mirrors. The clients also have old bathrooms and several decades of acquired capitol.
One of the main features of the middle-aged bathroom is the expansive mirrors -- even boundless mirrors. It is as if the face that has been lifted expands across the universe in a demonstration of some about-to-be-revealed demension.
Mirrors mirrowing mirrors is another common design idea. If the mirrors are not parallel, an infinite reflection slowly bends toward the horizon line. One's droopy bottom with celulite and its luner surface is drawn relentlesly toward a black hole.
Working around mirrors can be disconcerting if the workman accepts aging, sickness and death as the effect of mortality. It's been many years since I've painted in the nude.
