You'll save a heap of money over completely re-doing the bathroom and importantly you'll be in keeping with (and preserving) the midcentury design of your Emery, I am also about to embark on a bathroom reno myself and my plan is similar in some ways to yours as the room has a similar layout.

If the mirror isn't in good shape (or it may be mirror doors on a cabinet? I can't tell) then think about replacing the mirror too. A really fresh coat of white paint (use the bathroom product), better lighting - put a light in above the mirror () and a fan/heater/light in front of the vanity exactly above where you'll stand when you get out of the shower. To give you a more spacious feel, have the door replaced with a cavity sliding door - it gives you an amazing amount of extra space, we did it in our bathroom I would replace the vanity, which is obviously not original, with a custom laminate vanity with cupboards underneath in pink (top) and grey (cupboard doors/sides) or even a boomerang pattern for the top () have a skilled tiler repair any areas that need repairing and have the tiles professionally cleaned and re-grouted and re-do all of the silicone, Then replace all the tapwear with new chrome taps but in an appropriate style (like these for example ) and a new glass shower screen. Save the pink bathroom! The original floor and the pink bath are beautiful! And obviously appropriate to the era of your house. The house is on stumps not concrete slab so moving plumbing is perhaps easier? I do not have formal confirmation - but have been told the internal walls are not load bearing as the roof is a truss system. Which is why I am considering what to do with bathroom and laundry before floors are installed. The kitchen was stage 1 - but seems scope creep is part of a renovation.įloating floorboards will be installed in the kitchen, living, dining - but bought enough to the do the hall if I want. There are so many doors at the end of the hallway - so by making it one room - it gets rid of 2 doors. The doorway to the 3rd bedroom is being relocated to the hallway - to streamline the entry hall and make the 3rd bedroom part of the bedroom wing with closer access to the bathroom.

The clothes line is not in the courtyard outside the laundry so the door only serves the purpose of access to heater/garage etc The laundry tiles are loose and need replacing and there is no storage in the laundry - hence the reason for consideration of space in laundry and bathroom. The kitchen is being renovated with removal of the angled wall between kitchen and living area.

I have no need for a bath but think it should be retained for resale valueīut saying that - I broke my foot 6 weeks ago and because the shower door is narrow could not get a plastic chair in there and did have a bath for a week until I was able to feel comfortable standing in the shower. The ensuite is so small I use the main bathroom for showering I am a 60 year old female that lives here with 2 poodles
