And to you, and to Chook too, of course. Sydney just has the best fireworks, doesn't it? Though I'm glad that Mr Dog and I don't live there. It'll be rough enough here. Row, I think you've done a great job. Yes, the roller blind may no longer live in that room. Thanks for sharing the other pics -- see, you were dreaming of pattern on walls before I came along.

I agree with Jenny. By the looks of things though, you really love your stunning tea sets and small trinkets. If you are looking to soften/ modernise the entrance I agree that putting a round mirror would do wonders. If you want to maintain the classical style entrance, then a beautiful carved wooden mirror would be a beautiful addition. Alternatively, for something really contrasting, a beautiful moroccan style mirror will really bring out the tea sets and colourful ceramic pieces. Definitely go with a larger mirror to open up the space, as entrances can be quite cramped, especially in apartments. To fill up the sides of the cabinet, could could put a smaller ornamental stool or vase to dress the corner. Definitely soften the dark colours up with a beautiful white orchard on the top side of the cabinet, or a light coloured lamp- I am all about flowers though. Make sure you have a small bowl so it keeps keys and other things neat and tidy. You could tie in the colours in the cabinet with a vase or stool to really bring it all together. If you are a bit more daring, you could use a nice blue vase/ stool to pick up the tea set and details in the ceramics on the top shelf. Of stay safe and go with neutrals. I think it depends on the personality of the home and what mood you are trying to create. If you like, I am happy to help put a collection of options together for you and help decorate it? If you have any reference images in mind it would really help the process. At the risk of sounding more like a salesman, we do have a really extensive range of mirrors, furniture and decor on our website www.aprilandoak.com.au. Just send me a private message and I can help you make a selection, and am happy to email you a $30 voucher as a HOUZZ member. Good luck!! April & Oak Team.

custom made vanity and wall cabinets should only be needed if you have awkward sizes as an off the shelf cabinet allows you to see and touch the product and is often much more economical than custom made ...unless you need to keep some special supplies (eg 24 pack of toilet rolls?) i suggest that a base cabinet need only be 450-500 deep which is plenty for folded towels and drawers and the in wall cabinet about 150mm deep (including most of the cabinet inside the wall and only a small frame for doors and mirrors projecting out) but the in wall cabinet may depend on existing wall studs and electrical wiring so think about what you would put inside the cabinets and only have enough inside cabinet space for those items (maximum toilet roll or fat shampoo bottle about 120mm...in small bathrooms the extra floor space makes drying and dresssing much more comfortable and by rotating the shower in the family bathroom there would be less wet floor in the walkway and if the vanity in the ensuite is away from the corner you can allow space for a handtowel and/or a very convenient space to hang a hair dryer ...

Invest in a custom made one from your local glass and glazing specialists - it'll be made to fit the vanity top exactly and the edges of the mirror should also be sealed to prevent corrosion. (which often happens to mirrors from the hardware stores)
