The last 5% still to do: build in medicine cabinet with surrounding shelf/niche storage above sink. Install mirror on opposite wall over cupboards. Most likely mount a second shower curtain to create more privacy for the "inner" bathroom (shower/toilet). Install hooks for hanging up clothing. I may re-paint the walls a deeper, cooler green that's closer in colour to the mosaic tiles; the Dry Fern is coming across a bit too yellow. And hang some art (fossils, tiles - items unaffected by humidity - not that we have much problem with that since the new fan is very effective).
Compared to the original bathroom, there's not much left. The pedestal sink is the same, and in the same position, although it has new faucet hardware. The replacement window is the same size and position. The room has been extended about 2 feet into the former kitchen space, with the other wall positions remaining the same. The door is the original wood door (laboriously scraped down by Mark, through umpteen layers of paint - thank-you!), although it's been converted to a pocket door. And it's in the original position, which used to be one of my least favourite things about stepping through the front door - the view down the hallway dead-ending at half bathroom/half kitchen doorways. Now you still see the bathroom, but with the nearby kitchen/dining/living space opened up, it's no longer so disheartening.

Below: after!
Storage with counter of reclaimed wood (medicine cabinet propped on top), and a glimpse of the sun tunnel over the shower
The shower, with curved shower rod and curved mosaic stone curb; storage niche, rainwater shower head and hand-held head - so luxurious...
Caroma toilet with integrated sink (water passes through the tap as the tank refills - efficient and handy), plus additional pedestal sink for brushing teeth, etc.
View of window (tiled in green mosaic stone) and towel warming rack (loving our toasty towels!)
