do you think she's checking her reflection to see if it makes her boobs look any bigger?

Hmmm..art gallery. Well this is industrial art. A few years ago a friend needed back surgery and since her bathroom was upstairs and she didn't want her mother to move in I figured the best solution would be a lift. It didn't have to be fancy since it was only for a few months, so I built one out of materials on hand.
A couple pieces of heavy steel channel that had guided an elevator in a private home and a steel plate with roller bearings for wheels on the top, bottom and sides with no free play. I fabricated a chair covered with an old piece of leather from a diner booth and a foot rest, attached to the steel plate. The mounting brackets were screwed through the rug and a piece of plywood over the tile floor at the bottom and cut to be firm in the doorway.

I bought 2 garage door openers but I only used the chain and remote control from the second one. This picture shows the door opener attached to the channel where it cleared the top step. like I said, it was a temporary setup and no kids in the house so it wasn't elegant. I duct taped the electric eye sender and receiver (keeps the door from closing on someone)face to face. A remote at the top and one at the bottom and some adjustments to the load limiter, and it worked flawlessly.
