Anyway, since SHMBO loves the mirror, here is what I would like to do:
1) Build my own cabinet using 1/4" stock, allowing for the 2" pipe
intrusion.
2) Put the mirror on some kind of 'glide' so, in order to open it, one would
simply slide it along the wall from left to right.

1) Frame mirror in wooden frame. (If it isn't already.)

2) Mount 18" full extension drawer slides behind the frame, top and
bottom. One part screws to the frame, the other part to the wall. This
will space the back of the frame 1/2" away from the wall. If that's too
much space, you could recess the slide into the frame somewhat.
