A medicine cabinet for mounting flush in a wall recess of a wall comprising:

• a cabinet unit having a pair of side panels, a top panel and a bottom panel arranged in a box construction for placement within the wall recess and defining a storage space therein, the panels providing an outfacing rectangular edge encompassing the side, top and bottom panels;
• a door assembly, hingably mounted to the cabinet unit and closing thereagainst so as to cover the storage space, and further comprising:
• a swinging door frame of rectangular open box form with a rear surface, a front surface and an outer peripheral edge, the rear surface hingably mounted to the edge of one of the side panels, by a first hinge means, providing at least one pair of first L-shaped legs, the legs being fixedly attached to one of the side panels and to the rear surface of the door frame respectively;
• at least one first hinge pin pivotally joining the legs at a first position adjacent the peripheral edge of the door frame, the L-shaped legs providing a means for allowing the door frame to rotate open in a rotational direction by at least 180 degrees;
• a mirrored door with opposing rear and mirrored surfaces, of a size to fully cover the swinging door frame, the rear surface hingably mounted to the front surface of the door frame by a second hinge means providing at least one pair of second L-shaped legs, fixedly attached to the front surface of the door frame, and to the rear surface of the door respectively, at least one second hinge pin pivotally joining the legs at a second position adjacent the peripheral edge of the door frame, the L-shaped legs providing a means for allowing the mirrored door to rotate open by up to 270 degrees in an alternate rotational direction opposing the rotational direction of the door frame;
• such that with the swinging door frame closed against the outfacing rectangular, and with the mirrored door closed against the swinging door frame, the door assembly is pivotable about the first hinge means to gain access to the storage space, the mirrored door is pivotable about the second hinge means to gain access to the storage space through the swinging door frame, and with the door frame and the mirrored door both pivoted open improved positioning of the mirrored surface is provided.
