Great for a B&B. but in a real living home - Have fun cleaning it every dayand nigth

Maybe if you ring the B&B owners - they'll know where they got it from.

Great impact, cute idea, but fails the real world test in so many ways.

It's ugly! :shock:

McReidy, check out eBay. They have the same glass mixer taps there and some variations of what you are after for the vanity unit. Maybe you can get lucky and find exactly what you want. Also ask the B&B if they have any info on it - it can't hurt to ask?
I think it is lovely - very minimalistic - wouldlook great with crisp white tiles.

Now be honest Mark…..don’t hold back!!!! :shock:

I haven’t seen it before…..I would check the major bathroom supplies if I were you.

Looks expensive!

I think the main thing that attracts us to this is it's simplicity - I think it is quite striking..

We are soon to be totally renovating the bathroom and looking for something with a bit of class, and something a bit out of the ordinary.. This stuck out - I'm sure it's not to everyone's cup of tea though

I found the mixer taps on ebay - they are surprisingly cheap!!

You guys are nasty....even if it is tongue in cheek. You have to remember people have differences of taste. Just because some of you don't like it, does not mean that it isn't to be appreciated by others. Just like home theatres and alfrescos and all of the other choices we make in our homes, each to their own....
Good luck in your search McReidy.

I whole-heartedly agree - the braided hose looks unsightly

Ditto phoenix, each to their own with taste, & I think McReidy was after ideas on where to find the unit - not opinions on how it looks!

McReidy, I think its the sort of vanity I would use in my powder room,
Good luck with the reno, hope you post some pics when its done!!

It's an open forum. We're just voicing our opinion on the vanity.

If someone replies "Wow! That vanity looks great!" thats all fine and good and no one would raise an eyebrow.
So theres no reason why someone can't reply "Ewwww! Horrible!

It's just an opinion. It in no way reflects on McReidy.

Wow that looks great ready :shock:

How're your eyebrows Mark

Just kidding
It's not my sort of basin, and for more reasons than one.
It'll be so outdated so soon !! You'll wonder why the hell your ever put it in.
But maybe just because I've been through this modernistic craze once already? :shock:

McReidy · Nov 22, 2007 9:10 am

Wow - I didn't expect this much fuss over a basin!!!

I agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinions - that's half the reason I posted this thread was to see not only if people knew where I could source it but thoughts as well..

Thanks for sticking up for me guys & girls - much appreciated

Keep up the discussion.....

If anyone else has any photos or ideas for a "minimalistic" bathroom would love to hear about them or see photos..

This might sound like a weird place to look but Retravision up here has some gorgeous units! They have the same sort of glass top/sink as that one but the unit underneath is a little different. It's built in with doors.

FionaL · Nov 22, 2007 11:26 am

This one is something like the one you like..

Well done FionaL, that's a pretty good match!! I was looking in ebay under glass vanity which is why i didn't find it....
Bargain price too. I checked out the ebay shop and liked some of the tv stands and the heated towel rails too... Very cheap... Bargain reno items for you McReidy.

I agree phoenix.. Good job Fiona - thank you..

It is very close, and in fact I think I like this one a little better - so does my wife!!

McReidy, even with the $280 postage it's still pretty cheap! Hopefully though you are not in the **SA2 area of 5301-5734. Otherwise get it shipped to a friends place. as $450 Vs $280 is a bit of a difference. :shock:

Let us know how you guys go? Do you still want to add the glass tap to the vanity or does it look better looking at it now - in the stainless steel?
