It took me way too long to notice that is a bathroom.

What's the deal with doing all that, and then just getting a bog standard white toilet? Not red not gold, just whatever was on sale that week at home Depot.

best thing about that bathroom, apart from the presidential paintings, is the door that doesn't close but is just an archway

Sorry, I have no source for this other than a tumblr anime blog, but I really like it. Other than those hideously mismatched tiles, I really love the tilework. I'm not a huge fan of the basic subway tile on the lower half of the walls, but it does give a neutral place to rest the eyes on. I wish I had a pic of the stained glass window wall. I assume this is british due to the weird rear end toilet tanks up on the wall.

I somewhat enjoy cleaning my bathroom. Getting the room in this picture clean would be some kind of personal hell-level punishment.

Pulling this back because I found an example of more minimalist eclecticism. There's a lot of clashing styles, but spread across much fewer elements so you can really take in the contrasts.

Any tips on identifying suction cups that won't slowly lose their grip? I had a suction cup toothbrush holder for a while, until I got fed up with finding my toothbrush on the floor once a month or so.

I'd really like to get a fitted cabinet under the sink so that there wouldn't be a level surface between the sink and the cabinet to accumulate clutter.

I'm not too keen on having to get a plumber to swap out the old sink though, so I need to figure out a way to trace the underside of the sink first. I figured I might find something suitable at a hardware store once I have a template to compare to.

I see how that could work but also even the slightest mess or clutter with that type of design would make it all look really bad really quickly.

If I'm understanding what you want to do, the best way I know isn't particularly elegant but it is a quick and accurate way to get a template of irregular spaces:

1. Get a large-ish piece of cardboard;
2. Cut slots on one long side to allow you to slide the cardboard over the drainpipe and the water lines under the sink;
3, Slide the cardboard under the sink, flat against the lower rim;
4. Use a sharpie marker to trace the outline of the sink on your cardboard; and
5. Measure the distance from the floor to the cardboard.

It helps to have a second person there to hold the cardboard in place while you draw the outline and measure the height.

What is that silver table? in the left corner, and that white box under the sink?

You need to think vertical. Skinny drawers between the sink and washer. Is the washer magnetic? You can stick a lot of shampoo bottle baskets on that surface.

Thanks, but this isn't quite what I need. I need some way to check how the top panel on a cabinet like this fits the underside of the sink.

I'm currently looking into building some kind of pantograph to trace a profile of the sink.

peanut posted:

The silver table is an Ikea grundtal trolley and currently the only piece of storage furniture in the bathroom. It's honestly pretty great, fits the wall like a glove.

The white item is a plastic tub that really should be somewhere outside the bathroom.

Magnetic baskets are a pretty novel idea, I'll have to keep an eye out for those.

Yeah, the floor gratings are pretty dang open.


I know someone with acrophobia who can't handle the kind of stairs that have an open space between the steps where a vertical riser normally goes, because they cause her to lose her sense of being on solid ground. This would be absolutely paralyzing.

That's not a thing that's likely to be useful. You presumably have a free standing sink. Sinks made to go into basin cabinets are a different thing, and finished differently (less). They are also attached to the wall differently (i.e., not at all in a cabinet). The cabinet you linked sure does look like it's for a wall-mounted sink but........

Is there a reason you are opposed to buying a vanity cabinet with a sink? You can choose a close or wide spread sink/cabinet as appropriate to re-use your existing faucet. This should not be a significant additional cost. And it's not likely you can just "slip" a vanity underneath it anyway. You would still need to remove and replace all of the plumbing to fit it.

Is there some kind of regulation that requires you to use a plumber, because swapping a sink is pretty easy to DIY. Otherwise you could buy one of these irregular shape measuring tools. Or draw a rectangle with the right width, height, and depth of the front of the sink, eyeball the curve and cut out a template. Mark on the bottom of your sink where the edge of the cabinet is going to hit the bowl, and put the template up against it, filling in and big gaps with tape; make a second template off the modifications if you need to. That should give you something close enough to buy a cabinet with. You can use caulk or wood glue to fill any small gaps between the sink bottom and vanity.

Also get some baskets to set on that shelf in front of the mirror so you have somewhere to put what you aren't going to keep in a drawer.
