Modernising a small bathroom

We just started a little project where we are getting rid of the old tired federation style bathroom and replace with functional, minimalistic bathroom.
We are looking at a budget of around $13,000

Will post each step along the way.

Photos of the original bathroom

 

Demolished bathroom, green walls waterproofing stuff, much work than expected, partner took about one week to complete this

900 x 600 tiles
Tilers should complete tiling today.


These are Italian tiles that retail at $100 per sqm, purchased from my g/friend at $20 per sqm as she purchases everything from China. Mates rates

 

China Bigly........hehe

 

So this is what I am trying to achieve sort of.... something similar to this

 

At least the waterproofing is done right. You should have seen the waterproofing at the build.

 

Beautiful!

 

yes, partner did this, but nasty work, made him feel sick

 

Fingers crossed, we are not experts at this

 

Italian tiles from China? Or are they "Italian" tiles, from China? They look good, regardless!

 

Thanks
Italian tiles, supplier from China, not sure how it works, i expect volume In massive scale from Italy, not retail prices

g/friend gets all high end stuff from China for her developments. Volume, she is building 19 apartments and high end houses in Perth
I will ask her this question when I see her and report back

Via Containers, took her a few years to source the right suppliers and quality

Tiles Retail for around $100-110 per sqm in Oz
She also imports marble tiles from China at a fraction of the cost we pay in Oz, its insane.

This exercise will only work if you have volume I guess

 

Reminds me of Georgian antiques (made by George last week), I've got a whole warehouse full of them @ the right price

 

LOL i think I know this one, but I have a lovely original chippendale chair

 

Pretty sure that it's from Minder.

 

I like it @MTR . Its personal taste but if it were me I would put some kind of bang feature tile across that vanity wall stretching all the way to the shower. If not this tile then something similar. Also not a fan of that pendant in that location. Just personal taste though.

 

I'd probably also add this if I could.

 

Right thanks, those tiles are nice

I sm actually not a great fan of the black hardware

 

umm...what....! ok ok..

Do you like these ones? Just gotta adjust the vanity color if you go gold.

 

Yes
But I already purchased hardware from g/friend China again. I let her sort it out as she is an interior designer, knows much more than me
