custom made med cabinets too big?

I bought two AMAZING distressed wood oval mirrors (29WX35H)

weighing 11 lbs. I am having a carpenter make recessed medicine cabinets out of these to hang above my 72X24" double vanity. The recessed cabinet will be much smaller than the mirror dimensions, probably 1/2 the size and 4" deep. I know this will swing open deeper than my vanity, but I went to store that had non-recessed cabinets that swung out several inches deeper than vanity and they seemed fine. He says he can run electrical outlets, mirrors, glass shelves inside cabinet to give it a custom look. Does anyone see any issues w/this idea? I think it will be a unique look above my St James vanity from the same manufacturer.
