Field guide No. 654
Finished room, unfinished reflection
The mirror missed the refit.
A tidy mint-green bathroom with a white basin, a plant on the sill and a towel on the rail, and in its mirror the same room gutted to bare studs, pipework and dust. Either the mirror is behind schedule or the room is lying.
Field noteThis mirror shows a room that is finished and not finished at once, and both are the same bathroom.
