The works

The old small kitchen was replaced with a new bathroom, which made use of the window for natural light and ventilation.

Vanity

A sleek white wall-hung vanity keeps the contemporary look light and bright. Try ADP ‘Envy 1000’ wall-hung vanity unit, $1648, Reece.

Mirror

A ‘Grundtal’ porthole-style mirror from Ikea adds a shapely touch, in keeping with the coastal theme of the home. 

Shower

The shower base, found at a hardware store, came complete with a glass showerscreen and acrylic walls – it simply needed to be installed. The house was renovated on a tight budget and it was cheaper to buy a complete shower enclosure,” says Amanda. Try ‘Boston’ shower enclosure with base, screen and wall, Bathroom Warehouse.
