after
This bathroom was very dysfunctional and not to mention ugly. As this was a second bathroom and not used much at all, why gut the whole thing when you can make it look great for $700. Firstly I removed the old shaving cabinet (that wasn't even at head height) as well as the window (there is an extension on the house so this window goes into another bedroom). After bricking up the opening and plastering over the top I added a large format mirror to help make the room feel bigger and bounce some light around as there is no longer a window in there. I replaced the old vanity with a flat pack on at Bunnings for $120. I ripped out the black tiles and replaced with similar white ones and tiled over the existing floor. I painted the bath with paint designed for metal and submerged water. Then I finished the space off with a new shower screen and mixers and taps.
