Hi Everyone, I realised I have quite an expensive taste! :-( as the cheapest 1m vanities are 1.5K+ going up to 2K and even 3K!!!! in Schots :-((( I also saw that this colour is not popular here yet, as all the photos I found online are from U.S. We just renovated our whole kitchen (it's big) for 8K with a beatiful white IKEA furniture including stone (photo attached), so I refuse to pay 1.5K for just one small vanity in comparison... Unfortunately the Vanity IKEA range is not as nice... Quite stuck now as our budget was around 800K per vanity (and we need 2)... so we'll have to go back to the drawing board... Back to drawing board I guess :-(

@mlk01, You are right about the message button, I have it on my profile but no one else seems to so that's odd! If you click on my profile for example, you will see on the top line right beside the profile picture: Your house, Ideasbook, Bookmarks, Activities, Messages. In fact I remember that when anyone typed a reply like I'm doing now, you used to be able to click a "private" button, which meant only the person you were typing to saw your comment. Perhaps Houzz can answer these anomalies?? I'm not on Facebook or Twitter, never got into it and have no reason to do so anytime soon ha-ha As for talking privately to someone, you could post your email address here as could oklouise and delete it whilst you are still able to edit, as I've done once in the past. Just not sure how long the edit feature lasts.

If tiles in shower in good order I'd replace shower screen as suggested above so lose door as enough drainage can have walk in and semi frame less btw shwr head and loo and replace loo with more compact one - check how far extend from wall some 750mm some 650mm and have back to wall can get new loo fir $400 (aspire Range burdens stock) and then lose cupboard go for shelves and see if can semi recess a mirrored shave cabinet and just retile area outside of shower stall a harmonious colour prob mid grey

Hi Paul, I hear your collective frustration! my comment about light bouncing into your eyes was in response to your question about bouncing light onto your faces from a light placed behind the vanity (from memory). Have you seen Dr Renos comment here - still the most logical response to me. https://www.houzz.com.au/discussions/5148857/where-to-place-power-points-and-lights#n=5 So I'm going to go for side lights next to the vanity cabinet. Trouble is, my vanity is off-centre to the cabinet mirror, so I still have to sort that one out. Time spent really considering this is well worth it. I think LED downlights may very well cast shadows, sorry to say :-) and the next consideration is what colour temperature - warm white or daylight? For relaxing ambience (75% bathroom function) it will def be 3000 warm white for me, however for the vanity functions it will be 4000K (daylight) so I will probably get the vanity lights switched separately to the main room light, maybe put that on a dimmer... I know there are some LED bulbs available that enable the colour temp to be changed within the same bulb...
