Too many and a house ends up looking like a throwback to the 80s... like you're going to find a floral couch and a dusty rose carpet in every room, whew. Not a look we like!

Each bedroom had mirrored closet doors and the back splash kitchen was mirror. Just imagine what this looks like after a cooking a meal, not to mention the four toaster ovens (!) created by placing that appliance in a corner. He also installed a floor to ceiling mirror in the hallway and one bedroom still has a mirror wall, which is unfortunately glued to the sheetrock and cannot be removed without breaking the glass.
