Ballad of the One Bathroom: Medicine Cabinet Dilemma

Yesterday morning: all the wallpaper was gone except for what was blocked by our two large medicine cabinets.



These cabinets are two recent Ikea models. They provide lots of storage and the mirrors are great. However, at 8.5 inches they are a little too deep and block the sink a bit. They are also strangely installed (in this house?).



I decided to take the cabinets down and find out what was behind them. First I removed the strange light fixture.
