I think you are talking about a vanity to put in the bedroom, not the bathroom. Is that correct? If it is correct, then I think your idea of cherry wood for the vanity is a good one. It certainly doesn't have to match exactly. In fact, we mix a lot of wood stains these days. If you're interested in a vanity for the bathroom, that's a totally different thing. I see part of the bathroom in the photos. You could have a faux artist come and paint the existing bath vanity to match your bed if you want to go in that direction. But you state that you want a modern bathroom, so maybe you have something else in mind. I've selected 4 different baths that might appeal to you. Please let me know if you like any of them, or if it's the bedroom you're more interested in. Thanks. Carolyn Albert-Kincl, ASID

Sorry but I don't understand your pictures. You are talking about 2 bathrooms but we see only one floor plan. Is the 1.52M x 2.24M the 5 x 8 bathroom in your dilemma title. If so, can we see the floor plan of the 5 x 9 bathroom? Is the space with a small rectangle in the middle the extra 5.5 x 4.9 ft space you mentioned in your dilemma? Also 1.52M x 2.24M is in reality 5'0" x 7'4". This is 8 in. less. It can make a big difference on how to place fixtures in a bathroom.

I am so happy to see you here! I will have to go back and see if i can retrieve my posts... thought I would make them into a little book for my daughter, with photos. Quick run-down on the bathroom (not travels, no time) - The kitchen has a rather elegant sliding door with beveled glass panels. Painted white, since this was the original colour. GD's new bathroom has the doors I had picked earlier; i thought of polishing them but decided sprayed automobile paint (on a resin primer) would wear better. Especially since it is such a small bathroom, and she is so splashy. I have this finish in my kitchen and it has lasted 15 years now. A tad chipped here and there, but only needs a wipe down once a week. Same finish for the balcony doors, also split like the bathroom. We have a new wardrobe, a study table with built-in shelves, and a small chest of drawers for her odds and ends. I want to re-tile the tiny balcony, more as a little statement. Currently we are looking at Portuguese tiles, though I did think a mosaic with a funky cat might be nice. Let me see the costing. The room will be painted a neutral adobe, with bright white woodwork and an off-white ceiling. This means she can go wild with cushions and covers. Other changes in the flat; We have changed the glass in the master bedroom and living room from small cramped panes to a single pane for each section with a 1" bevel all round. Doubles the cost of the glass, but looks so elegant! The air-conditioning is being re-located. The compressors were all mounted in the bedroom and living room balconies, which looked terrible and meant the balconies (very narrow, only 30" deep) couldn't be used for anything. Not even plants. So they are being moved so that the compressors can be mounted at the rear of the building. two down, one to go. Now we can put in some nice plants, fishtail palms etc. The kitchen counter on one side came out intact and will be reused elsewhere. I am planning overhead storage, cupboards, and a draining cupboard for plates and glasses. Right now there is no dish washer, though a place is earmarked, but for now I will put in a cupboard with steel racks for cups, glasses and plates, all hidden behind pressed glass doors. This is all in the planning stage.... Pictures in a little while, they are mostly on my ipad and don't transfer well to the mac. They come without numbers... so I have to rename the or something. Somebody tell me how to do this!

Hi, Greetings from Home Credence! Oval shaped mirror can be used here as it will also match the pedestal basin or there are many cabinets available in the market with mirror on front surface and storage space for brushes/toothpaste. So, both of your requirements of mirror and cabinet will get fulfil. For soap dispenser, you can keep it at 15" right from the center of angular cock or match the tiles joint whichever is appropriate at 39" height from FFL. You can also add towel rack on the opposite wall of shower. Thanks & Regards, HOME CREDENCE
