Spotted Gum is a great hard wearing timber with a Janka rating of 11. This means it is high density timber and won't dent as easily as softer timbers like American Oak. A polyurethane finish is the hardest and most durable timber floor coating and it comes in gloss satin and mat. The lower sheen's are more forgiving if you you have pets and young children. Bamboo is another hard product but only comes in short lengths so you would need to take that look into consideration when selecting. Some clients don't like the look of the short boards and consider it a cheap look. Others prefer the longer floor boards of timber. If you do choose bamboo make sure that you find out the coating used and whether it can be sanded and re coated down the track, as all timber and bamboo floors will need a touch up especially if you have pets. Some bamboo floors can not be sanded due the coating used. Hope this helps. Our website may offer some inspiration. Good Luck http://budgetfloorsanding.com.au/

I think your question was cut off there...

Ideally you would want 900-1000mm clear space in front of your vanity and for walkways, unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world and have to work with what we have. 700mm would be the absolute minimum width for a walkway to still allow reasonable passage, although I would be reluctant to go this tight. A floating vanity will help the space look larger and storage can be included in a mirrored shaving cabinet or mirror with shallow shelf above the vanity.

@Anne we are drawing to the end of our similar area renovations, I am looking forward to getting the furniture out of storage and thinking what stays and what goes.. it is exciting but exhausting as well we moved out for 4 weeks while structural stuff was done and have been back in for four with about 2 weeks to go, very tough living, my best friend has been a $29 target electric frypan, I am the creative gourmet of electric fry pan foods , good luck with your job, ours is finally looking like it has been worth it. The only bad trade we have had is the electrician and he is going to be here in half an hour I need to get dressed and be ready to have stern words with him
