	In Haven House~~, mirrored~~ closet doors were ~~eliminated (for TID) and custom~~ mirrors ~~were added to~~ the ~~insides~~ of the ~~doors~~, ~~framed in~~ a ~~shaker style. This moved them as out~~ of the ~~way as possible to reduce conflict~~ in ~~double-occupancy~~ rooms. ~~Plus~~, the ~~heavy mirror added significantly to~~ the ~~weight of~~ the ~~door (~~for ~~perceived security~~, ~~reference Saturn car case study)~~ and the ~~sound dampening (for privacy and sleep quality)~~.		In the bedrooms, the implementation of Ideal Self-Portraits at Haven House followed nearly all the same rules as at Cloud Nine Studios. Mirrored closet doors were similarly avoided in favor of full-length mirrors in every bedroom, which are framed with decorative solid wood. Mirrors are positioned such that reflections are not visible from most of the room, and each has plenty of lighting at ideal viewing distances. One feature not found here are the asymmetrical frames, which was considered a worthwhile sacrifice considering the benefits to harmony and privacy gained, because building the mirrors into the rectangular frames of the Shaker bedroom doors provided not only ideal placement in all rooms, but it also added significant weight and sound insulation to each bedroom door. The only other features missing are the coordinated background elements; however, the bedrooms at Haven House lack the alcoves that make them possible at Cloud Nine Studios.

			At Haven House, all the bathrooms are shared, so the bathroom mirrors were optimized for harmony, which, in a bathroom means maximizing utility and cleanliness. Having the larger, prettier, framed mirror in the bedrooms encourages residents to spend more time using those rather than taking more time unnecessarily in the bathroom, as being forced to wait to use a shared bathroom is one of the most common sources of conflict in a shared living environment. <!--

	However, the need there is lesser because, while living in a group home, each resident will see several other real women every day.		However, the need there is lesser because, while living in a group home, each resident will see several other real women every day.

	Home design gurus tout mirrored closet doors as the easiest way to make a room brighter and feel bigger, calling them a must for any small space. However, many people recovering from trauma are already struggling with self-image issues, so mirrors are sources of discomfort. Plus, depression can cause fatigue, executive dysfunction, or feelings of worthlessness, all of which can cause people to fall behind on hygiene to the point where being constantly forced to see themselves not looking their best can fuel a self-reinforcing cycle of negative thoughts, feelings, and actions.

	For this reason, even though the apartments at Cloud Nine Studios are fairly small, we did not use this very popular feature. On the contrary, the full-length mirrors are mounted behind the front door, so they are not seen when entering the apartment and not visible from the main room. People only see their reflections when they choose to stand in a specific spot, or for a brief moment when they are leaving, when it is useful to take a quick glance anyway before heading out. Furthermore, just as the placement of the mirror is trauma-informed, so is the size. The massive scale of the mirror and generous viewing distance allows women of all sizes to be framed comfortably with room to spare, which helps to avoid triggering negative feelings in those struggling with body negativity.

For the full-length mirror, a live edge solid wood frame is not only an opportunity to introduce more natural materials to the space, but also a way to frame the image with beautiful asymmetry. Optically, surrounding an asymmetrical image with a symmetrical border highlights and exaggerates the asymmetry—yet while all humans are asymmetrical, almost all mirror borders are symmetrical. Here, a frame where no sides match makes any asymmetry in the image between them look natural and normal. This effect is less important in the bathroom since people will often be too close to have the frame in focus to form a cohesive image; nevertheless the mirror is an irregular shape with only one axis of symmetry.
