@coralbrook — you’re amazing and a wizard at keeping costs low and quality high!
CB - IKEA calls vanities “sink cabinets.” Like this one:
https://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/ART/40312839/
Two cabinets like this will make a 72" vanity. Plenty of other finishes available. Look at the drop down menu.
Re #477, you may not be getting the style wrong at all. FWIW, dh and I are a couple of 60-something retiree/empty nesters and we love MCM. We aren’t the only ones. I know several people in our area who’d love to build or remodel a MCM-style home but are concerned about resale in this market. One is actually looking in Palm Springs for a vacation home/future retirement home.
We also like floating vanities, even though they aren’t MCM, because we could clean under them easily and the storage they do provide is within easy reach.
Those of us who have robotic vacuums love things that are at least 4 inches above the ground so the robot can clean easily. 
The $1150 also included the kitchen sink and the bathroom sink!! You guys need to find the prefab granite/quartz depots near you. I think the prefab pieces all come from China. Also, prefab pieces really cut down on labor costs because they have the bullnose already fabricated and they are in standard 24” deep countertop depths (with the standard 2” overhangs making them 26” deep). There is no difference in the stone quality. The prefab just means it’s already cut to size wth finished edges and bullnosed. I can even specify bullnose on left or right for certain areas of kitchen or bath.
For example, the pieces I buy are 9 ft long at a price of $175 each for standard quartz. Higher end Namib Fantasy quartzite pieces are only $350 each. So my quartz material cost was about $10/sq ft after taxes. I will probably pay another $10 sq ft for my fabricator to pick up all the material, take to his shop, cut sinks and cooktop and bring it all out to install. That is for a large kitchen and 96” long bathroom counter
So, when I hear you all talk price per square foot, or I see it marked at stores as a sq ft price I cannot relate to it. There is a huge difference between a plain run of countertop versus cuts required for sinks, cooktops, finished edges around a range, faucet holes, etc. I would never pay ‘per sq ft’ because it doesn’t make any sense. The material is the material and the labor cost is a variable. My fabricator charges X for linear feet of install ( which covers the pickup and delivery and basic materials) plus Y per type of cut and Z if he has to custom bullnose a strange shaped piece.
When I glance at the prices on countertop material at say Home Depot and I see $35 / sq ft…I just don’t understand if that includes labor and fabrication or what. It doesn’t make sense to me
In case you are looking for ways to spend that Ikea credit, this lighting fixture from their new 2019 product line looks like it might work with a MCM aesthetic.
Thank you @doschicos. When I went into the lighting area at IKEA most of the lights that looked wonderful on their website looked cheap, plastic or paper in the store. But the one you linked looked really nice. So I think that may be the one for the master bedroom corner and the dining area.
Still need something nice for entry foyer and I want to find plain globes for the exterior courtyard. For some reason I cannot find that shape in exterior lighting (at a decent price)
This is still my favorite from our courtyard lighting discussion awhile ago.

But…I think that one isn’t even ‘damp’ rated because it has the open top
When you see a price for stone at HD for “$xx per square foot” that usually includes material, installation, a base edge treatment, and may include a sink cutout but not the sink.
I looked around for prefab countertops, I couldn’t find a place near me that sells them.
Prefab would not have worked for us because our kitchen countertops are wider than 26" and one is funky shaped.
When you buy countertop material or carpet, you are not paying for actual sq footage. You are usually paying for more - the rectangles from which your countertop or carpet will be carved. If your countertops are rectangular, you are good. If you have funky shaped ones, you are paying for a lot of waste.
This is fun and wet rated. Not sure what your budget is. I like the look in the photo of multiples together but that would be a budget buster and not sure if it would work in your space anyway:

Lumens gets two thumbs down from me. They never returned my call or replied to my emails. I guess $1000 purchase was not too important to them.
Some unusual entry pendants:

Also just saw this which is adaptable for sloped ceiling:

I’ve had very good experiences with Lumens.
I also had very good experience with Lumens.
The Gregg egg shape pendant is my absolute favorite!!! But it would cost me over $1,000 to get two of them in the entry area (there are two ceiling wires). So, it’s a no go
Thanks Marilyn…Love the Possino Glacier and I just ordered it for the entry foyer hanging light. After it comes I might look at it and see if it can be mounted in a ‘damp’ location
It’s funny… the Possino White Flower hanging light looks exactly like the iconic IKEA hanging light that has been a big seller for years (at $26.99!!!)
Just loaded a couple of photos of the master bath tile and kitchen cabinets
Love the finishes in MB. Not the cookie cutter stuff most flippers use. Very nice.
It all looks great.
