@turner3477 YIKES! You already had the "aged look" and a very unique timber cabinet. wherever did you get it? I still think this trend of "paint it black or paint it black and white or paint it white is a psychological dilemma where people don't know how to use colour or are scared of it...or are afraid that they will not be "en trend" and keep up with the "Joneses". Don't mean to insult anyone's sensibilities but its how it looks and feels to me...everything old and genuine and beautiful being veneered to look trendy and plasticky. I'd be delighted to find a timber cabinet like that one as opposed to the the painted white version....and if I was at all tempted to investigate the white one to see what it was made of, my first instinct would be to have a feel and a scratch of that lovely decorative carved frieze above the benchtop....to see if it were made of a plastic mould and just stuck on. Sad to say this but what you have made of this cabinet is "what I call " fashionable fake". One redeeming feature though, whether it has any significance for you at this point in time is that at least under the paint, you know you have a genuine, solid timber cabinet that would have been worth something one day and maybe still will be when somebody, 30 yrs from now, recognises it for what it is and lovingly restores its genuine identity rather than mistaking it for junk and throwing it out to be replaced by the next lot of stage scenery. Wonder what the next "fashionable fake" will be made of when people have forgotten what solid timber and craftsmanship is? Don't know where you live....but would you like to sell me that cabinet at all ? I'd give it the life it deserves and I am sure you could find another one that would look every bit what you want to achieve in your space..(.In fact I could knock up a pretty good imitation replacement myself...not that I'd want it). I like watching` those antique shows in Britian where people bring old wares to be appraised and where antique dealers enter people's homes to buy collectables. It is on these programs that one learns the true value of the timeless pieces...some of which seem like old junk...but what surprises when what looks like junk turns out to be worth investing in! Apart from the above...enjoy your pristine French Provencale dream!

What a gorgeous bathroom! Would love to see vanity too. The black feature tile en masse is simply stunning- so dramatic a feature. Yes, I would want to continue the black tile theme to have consistency in the house. I would probably have black tile on the 'bathroom' side and gloss light latte on 'laundry' side, with sand tiles on floor. May I ask what your vanity/basin will be?

If you do it stop it at vanity height. However, I’d do all horizontal plank tiles to match vanity planks and keep it simple to let the lovely vanity shine.

It's a shame that the door slides towards the shower because the first thing you see is the toilet. Could there be any other place for it? I love your inspiration photo but the two examples you have shown are not as inspiring. I would try a few more options before you set your layout in stone. I like the idea of the white vanity with the wooden top and try to find the black and white basin. Our best eye level storage is a recessed cabinet with a decorative mirror beside it. I can't understand this obsession with storing all the things you want to use behind the mirror you also want to use. Love that idea of tiling the kick-board to match the floor. I have also put mirror on the kick-board for the same effect. Wall hung cabinets definitely give the appearance of more space but do you out of some storage. I dislike the idea of a wall of glass at the shower unless you are a fastidious house wife because after a few years of being subjected to soap scum they can become cloudy and that can be permanent as I recently discovered in a rental property. In a tiny room the area can look larger if your tiles are laid on the diagonal. If you are forced to keep the same layout would you consider a piece of furniture for the vanity? Good luck. Remember the planning is half the fun.
