We fixed that as much as possible with cabinets.  There are two doors to the bath &#8211; one from the hall and one from the second bedroom (not the master).  Behind the hall door is a mirrored medicine cabinet, opposite of the sink mirror.  It&#8217;s nice for checking the back of your hairdo  or looking at yourself to infinity.
