Medicine/cosmetic cabinet with pivoting mirror assembly

Abstract

A medicine/cosmetic cabinet recess or surface mounted with a framed door with a separately hinged mirror inset. A front door frame assembly with a pivoting mirror laid within the door framing provides 2-way access to a storage space within which may have adjustable shelving. The front door frame assembly is positioned outward from the wall so it appears as a decorative framed mirror parallel to the wall. The door frame assembly comprises of a swinging door frame with both a rear surface and a front surface, and a separate mirror which pivots individually when opened. This allows the door to be opened with the mirror closed, just the mirror to be opened which pivots in the opposite direction of the door or both may be opened simultaneously. This allows the user very close viewing in the mirror without leaning, turning or bending.
