Great advice!

Great job- really fantastic. A tip for anyone in the process of renovating a bathroom: I used Blake and Taylor chalk paint with a couple of sealer coats to paint a laminex vanity in our bathroom- and it looks great. Easy to apply and looks like a million dollars now. include new knobs from the great range at Paddington Hardware, and you can spend the money you've saved on good tapware.

I would talk to your tiler or builder first. We have the timber look tiles in our bathroom and absolutely love them - they are on our floor and one one feature wall - but not in the shower. We love the look and they are very easy to clean. As for tiling them in your shower and ensuring fall for drainage etc... definitive answers from your pro's should guide you there. Hopefully one of the pro's on Houzz may help here.

Hi Audrey, appreciate what you're saying. Here are a couple of bathrooms we recently did in Melbourne that might be helpful for inspiration. As a rule, we try to avoid white tiles (& white grout) on the floors for the cleaning issue you mention.
