Your mockup scheme is similar to our master bathroom we just completed - photo below. I know you mentioned storage being a concern - our mirrored cabinet has offered an amazing amount of storage in a very small space and also helps bounce light around. I was worried about black taps etc too so we kept chrome fixtures but added in a matte black candle and black potted orchid to create a similar effect which we can change out later on. Our floor tiles are dark but because they are semi-polished they actually bounce around a lot of light and don't make the room feel dark if that is a concern. We also have a huge fiddle leaf fig in the corner (not pictured) which adds a really nice feel to the space - a plant like that could help bring in the outside greenery in your bathroom. Instead of the storage tower you have to the left of the vanity could you do say some floating wood shelving, possibly with baskets added for more hidden storage? You could also bring in the 60s theme with what you displayed on there eg. photos as you mentioned? In regards to the window - a previous house we lived in had a window at about shoulder height in the shower - as well as letting in heaps of light it was amazing for storing toiletries etc!

Is your final photo of the vanity you already have? I also thought adding legs would take it back to the MCM you are after. Would be interesting to know how the silver drawer pull is attached. Not sure about painting it matte black as I thought timber furnishings were more prevalent then, but it's totally your choice. I hope you will post updates as you go. I just love mid-century.

I like what you have done i this bathroom, there is only one thing that could have been done better and that’s the position of the mixer tap for the shower. You should have access to it without getting wet , so it should have been positioned on the back wall closer to the towel hook. So you can turn it on and wait for correct water temperature before you get in.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Space available was 5.4m (Length) x 1.16m (Internal Width)

In order to give it that complete luxurious look and feel without blowing the budget we had to improvise on a few items.
Architect originally had specified custom make on vanity and a shower base which were a lot more costly and less aesthetically pleasing.

1. Vanity - Original price from architect and supplier Custom build - including basin and fixtures $4,000

Vanity was purchased from local hardware store off the floor with under counter basin

a. Vanity - $899

b. Handles powder coated from chrome to matte black cost $30

c. Cut out under count basin and fix FC sheet under stone $18 FC sheet plus time

d. Over counter basin and tap ware $450

e. Glue and caulk to secure basin $50

Total Price - $1,447

TOTAL SAVING - $2,553

These types of solutions can help save money and also time in sourcing custom products, if you would like more information please do not hesitate to contact us.

We would also love to hear from you guys about any projects you have done or ideas.

Do you happen to have a picture of the house on the outside. ie. After the extension was put in. Great idea to powder coat the handles. Did you do this yourself or get it done somewhere. If so, where was it done.

Also, do you know what the ballpark amount was for the extension - divided into bathroom cost and cost of extension. What did the final roof structure look like? Also, do you have a ballpark price for the skylight - ballpark figures only.
