    An Invisible Bumper

    We just renovated our bathroom, and it is now way fancier than I am.

    However, we found one small design defect - the medicine cabinet door bangs into the mirror over the sink. I needed to add a bumper but didn't want to detract from the fancy look.

    Here is how I did it.

    I dedicate this solution to Marv.

    Thank you so much for the dedication.

    Seems you too are aware of how repellent I can be. :-)

    A great fix. Had the Sink mirror not been there your solution to keep the door from slamming into the wall would have been more difficult but could have still hidden magnets to accomplish the task.
    Seriously though how many times in one's life do they slam a med cab door open? For me it has only happened once, and I wouldn't have cared if I had ripped the door completely off to get to an EpiPen
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
