Wow! That is really nice. Did you replace the tub too? Do you have any pictures of the toilet cabinet?

Yes, kgsd, we did replace the old tub. It was original to the build and it was blue--very blue! I loaded a photo of the over-the-toilet cabinet into Photobucket but forgot to include it so I'll add it here. It's a simple cabinet but great for extra storage. It originally (25 years ago) had a shelf at the bottom with these kind of scalloped edges on it but we removed it to update the look then added the new cabinet fronts.

Wow, that is beautiful. Love that mirror and counter. That's a great looking bathroom. What did you use to stain the cabinet? How much prep did you do before hand? I'm asking because I have old cabinets in this house that need a face lift before we sell. I'm looking for the easiest fix I can find. Thanks

Brutuses--I wish I could say that I stained the cabinets because they turned out very nicely but we only stained the *sides* of the over-the-toilet cabinets because we reused those cabinets and wanted the colour to match closer to the new wood colour of the vanities (and for that I just sanded and stained because no one can see the sides). Although we built the vanity boxes/drawers we *bought* the drawer and door fronts for the vanities and over-the-toilet cabinets. But good luck with your facelift!

yall did a great job. I love your vanity.
Can you tell me did you buy your cabinet doors and drawers locally or find an on-line site? I'm doing this now.

Fabulous remodel! Could you share info on the mirror & tile? Your bathroom really looks great & I love the countertop!

spacechallenged--We bought the cabinet and door fronts from a local cabinet shop. Our vanities are 66" long and 47" long so they were able to make whatever sizes we needed without having to use filler; plus the choice of colours, styles and materials was incredible. This vanity is cherry with a coffee bean stain.

lindanj--The mirror is American Standard and I believe the model is 6771. It comes in chrome (which is what we have) and a brushed silver finish--can't recall if it's brushed chrome or brushed nickel. It's recessed and the center part opens (either left or right) and the two side pieces swing inwards so it can be used as a 3-way mirror. There is no storage behind the end pieces. It's not as well-built as the Maxx one we bought for the master bath but our daughter really liked it and she's happy with it.

The tile for the backsplash, floor and tub/shower walls is all the same porcelain. It's made by Julian Tile; the model is Nautilus and the colour is ivory. The floor is 13" on the diagonal; the backsplash is 13" tiles cut about 9 - 10" high and the tub walls are 13" tiles with a 2" x 2" mosaic inset. It's a neutral-looking tile but it has a nice wow look to it up close.

Great job, you're hard work really paid off, it's beautiful!

I really like the detail of the smaller tile in the same finish as the larger. Gives great texture without crowding another finish into the small space. The vanity and cabinet look great too. I especially appreciate that you went green by finding a way to reuse what you had rather than tossing it into the landfill. Good job all the way through!

Love this bathroom! I especially love the pulls on your vanity - do you mind sharing where you got them? Actually I have to say I love everything about it - great job!

dinkerdoodle--It's funny how things work out because initially my daughter had selected a band of glass microdots in light beige/browns as the accent strip in the tub/shower but when we found out they would be 6 weeks for delivery she decided to go with the same tile as the rest of the room but in 2" x 2" mosaics for the accent and I think that was for the best, because as you said, it doesn't compete that way. The granite is kinda the star of the bathroom and the tile being all the same doesn't compete with that.

danielle22--The hardware is from Richelieu. The chrome pulls are 128mm long (about 5") and the # is 26202128140. We have an account with them and they cost $3.45 CDN each. They are quite sturdy and are well-made.

Thanks for the complements. It's actually our daughter I'll have to pass them on to as she selected every single aspect of the room--we just paid for it and did a lot of the work--lol!

Absolutely stunning, a very elegant bathroom. We are in the dreaming/planning stages of a new vanity. Your middle drawer under the sink is ingenious. May I ask where you bought the drawer fronts? Also, does the bottom right drawer open?

Congratulations. Your daughter has excellent taste.

tamjo44--We bought our door and drawer fronts from a place called Cabinet Doors and More in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (near where we live). They do have a website but it doesn't at all do their products justice. They have a lot of sample doors in their showroom and you can pick and choose all the elements of the design you want. They were very knowledgable and we had no issues at all with anything. The only surprise to us was that we did our rough calculations for the cost once we knew the price per square foot not realizing at the outset that there was a 2 square foot minimum charge per piece so it ended up costing us more that we had calculated because we had a number of smaller drawers and doors (especially on our other vanity that is only 47" long). For a room that isn't as small as ours, it would've been a better bang for the buck...oh well...

Although it might not look like it in the photo due to the angle, the bottom right drawer DOES open. Since it is close to the baseboard heater we put a little strip of filler along the right side of the vanity to allow the drawer to open fully (and they're full-extension openings which we didn't have before and are absolutely worth it). That's the only filler in both vanities and it was only to allow for the heater as I needed to maximize storage space (and that's one of the advantages of having custom sizes).

I got the idea of the middle drawer (the one under the sink) from either the Bathroom or Kitchen forum. Someone had taken an Ikea cabinet box and turned it upside down so that the drawer was at the bottom and the doors went all the way up to the countertop. My DH wasn't crazy about seeing all of the underside of the sink every time you open the doors under the sink so we did a combo of the idea--the drawer at the bottom and a dummy plate that hides some of the sink. Then he came up with idea of hiding the bottom drawer behind the cabinet fronts as otherwise the cabinet doors would've been much too stubby looking--very unusual/ugly. This way, there's still a storage shelf under the sink for taller items like cleaning products but with less wasted space. You can tell I can't have enough storage space! :)

Did you include a ceramic soap dish or are you going to have shower caddies? We are just about to start our small bathroom reno and have chosen a shower/tub tile and layout very similar to yours (which looks great!). So, we are now trying to decide about what to do with shelves or caddies. We are kind of nervous about drilling into our beautiful new tile. Having caddies up like that seems so permanent. I am also trying to find any caddies that look good but use suction cups for mounting. Any thoughts? Thanks and we are really inspired by your bathroom.

constanceann--I did look at many corner caddies that used suction cups to attach to the wall and even bought an Umbra one that was quite attractive and had what seemed like powerful suction cups but since our daughter uses the large sized hair care and body wash products we were still concerned about the holder falling and doing some damage so ultimately we decided to go with the permanently mounted (with silicone) ceramic holders. We had one of them in our old tub/shower and I was sure I would be able to find something more up-to-date but, despite a lot of looking, I couldn't find any and built-in niches were out due to wiring, etc. in the walls. The corner caddies came from the tile store and they came in white and off-white. Although the tub is white we went with the off-white caddies as they seemed to not stand out against the tile as much as the white ones did. I'll attach a photo of them--although in the photo it looks like they are mounted very low on the wall due to the fact I cut the tub out of the photo.

Good luck with your reno!
