Although the idea of relaxing in a warm bubble bath while watching Die hard 3 is at the top of most people's lists (right?), the idea of mounting a T.V in your bathroom seems — well, a little gluttonous. It feels over the top but what if it wasn't visible unless you're watching it? Well, then Yippie Ki-Yay!
Although we fostered a bit of hesitation against televisions in the bathroom, we can see the upside to them. Now we're not ones to crack some bubbly and watch a little Sex in the City while soaking our nails, but we could be into watching a bit of Jimmy Fallon from the night before, or even the morning news and weather while we brush our teeth.
Obviously we don't NEED a television in the bathroom, but why not when they hide seamlessly within these mirrors? When the LCD screen is off, the mirror appears to be a normal, average, run of the mill mirror. Until it turns on and then it's your children's new favorite place to watch Blue's Clues — wonder if it would help with potty training?
The 4 bathrooms above have all been installed in residences with these same television/mirror combos from Seura. We love that they've combined the two in order to keep aesthetics up and the drama down (unless of course your watching Law and Order too loudly). You can read more about their work at Seura.

This would be a fun DIY project. While one-way, two-way (whichever you call it) glass isn't cheap, it's still less expensive than the TVs linked to and you can make it any way you want. You could buy a gilded frame, or get a modern looking framed mirror and then cut your glass, mount your TV, move the IR sensor and that's pretty much it. If you already have a TV then this would be the way to go.
I would love this if it was part of a home automated system of some kind...
I could see this used in other rooms in the house! My parents want to put a little tv in their kitchen (which to me is a little gluttonous considering there is a large flat screen in the attached living room) but if there was just a beautifully framed mirror on the wall hiding the tv in the kitchen, it wouldnt be as obtrusive.
Thanks for noticing our Television Mirrors! We're proud of them too. We actually manufacture our own TVs and mirror glass. They have been specially formulated to perform well -- standard 2-way glass will not produce a good television picture. We also manufacture large television mirrors for the living room (perfect for above fireplaces or in bedrooms too!). And if you're looking for something in the kitchen, we make a waterproof television that can be customized in ANY color -- they are great for tiled kitchen back-splashes!

So, gluttonous behavior is okay if it's hidden? ;)
I actually think these are BRILLIANT in bedrooms.
Works for me. I want a radio in every room; why not have a television in every room?
I kind of think this is a great idea...then you can hide the tv from the kids too
The new Yankees Stadium has this tv-in-the-mirror thing going on in the Legend Suite bathrooms. It's arguably impossible to miss the action, even in the washrooms. Money well spent, Mr. Steinbrenner. : )
