Bathroom medicine cabinets I've seen are ambidextrous in that
right/left made no difference.

Second question. Reason for this... the vanity is sitting in a corner. The
wall to the left houses a built-in, small medicine cabinet. It is covered in
formica and has no mirror. The mirror - just mirror, no cabinet - sits over
vanity. Question: In order to make the larger cabinet with mirror work, I have
to hang it so it is flush with right side of vanity instead of centered in the
middle the way mirror is now. Will that look like further goof? This is small
bath and I need as much storage space as possible.

it should look identical if the face was symetrical. check to see if the
shelves will stay in, or the supports can be turned over, when you turn it
upside down though.
