Vanity

I mentioned earlier in the week that we manged to get a bathroom project finished. It isn't a huge project but it is another one done and dusted! The bathroom is not finished we still have things to do in there before it is but we were so happy to be able to cross one more of the list! This is our main bathroom vanity before It was nothing special, the vanity that was installed is a stock standard size of 750mm. The next standard size is 900mm. The space we have to work with is 880mm.

The space either side of the vanity really bothered me, it was a trap for dirt and the vanity top didn't have enough space to place anything like a liquid soap dispenser. Not to mention the taps leaked at some stage and the inside and back of the cupboard was stained and starting to rot.

Ever since we moved in I have kept an eye out for something we could use to replace the existing vanity. I was hoping to find an older piece of furniture to convert into a vanity but a few weekends ago Mitre 10 (hardware store) was having a sale and in their catalogue was the perfect sized vanity including ceramic top for $299.

While we were there we also found a Dorf basin tap set marked down from $247.50 to $30. Thank you very much!

The handles that came with the vanity were too modern to suit us so we picked up these four from Bunnings. Unfortunately they were not a bargain at $9.95 each, but they suited us and made a huge difference.

Nick spent Saturday and Sunday afternoon making the switch and we are both so happy with the difference. The bathroom is not big by any means and this vanity makes such a difference in the amount of floor space when you walk in.

We are still to get a glass shower screen installed and are just waiting on another quote. I would have liked to get a clear glass screen however the glass will have to sit as close to the vanity as possible and we will have a small gap between the glass and the vanity that will be impossible to keep clean. I know that it will bug me seeing the dust gather there and not be able to clean it properly so we will have to get frosted glass, that way it won't be visible!

I know it is such a little thing but it makes such a difference! WH and I were so happy we sat on the bathtub on Sunday evening and just admired the new vanity!

Yes it did cross my mind that perhaps we need to get out a bit more!

One last time...

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

White Wednesday

The one other souvenir I bought in NZ was this pretty print by a local artist. Something about the colours and the compilations called to me and it was easy to bring it home.

As luck would have it I had spotted the frame just before we left and had bought it just in case I would need it one day!

For now it is residing on my desk so I can admire it and enjoy the delicate features.

I snuck another tag in there too. I love them so much! This heart was once upon a time a key ring that was a gift from my sister, it broke ages ago and sat in my jewellery box just waiting. I had admired these type of jars for such a long time and finally collected a few of them at reasonable prices.

Then I found I was stuck for what I could put in them and where I could keep them. They get moved around a fair bit and refilled with different things often.

and lastly Boss is white when he's clean, unfortunately he doesn't stay that way for long!

Hope you enjoyed my bits and pieces of white. I am linking up to White Wednesday at the Faded Charm.

Be sure to go and visit to see some really beautiful images with lots of whiteness!

Have a great hump day!
