Flip #7 Mid Century Modern Mold

Great job on the bathrooms and cabinets.

There is a German-based website 1001Lights that carries the Gregg pendants at a lower price (not sure if low enough) for your budget and they ship to the USA.

This website also has some cool lighting fixtures appropriate to a MCM home. Some are pricey but not all.

I think I posted this before:

This one can be used in damp locations (per specs):

Yes, pearl one is one of my favorites for the cool shape

You found a plain globe style for outdoor for under $100!!! That may be the winner…have been looking for an outside globe forever. When I research the MCM courtyard entries, most of them have the simple globe…or cool shapes like the Gregg one or the pearl one

That lovely flat river pebble strip makes me think cottage or woods instead of MCM and most of the floating vanities just seem too contemporary and sleek. Also gray doesn’t seem to go. Would you consider a footed vanity that leaves a few inches open, maybe even in white?

Not sure if this is too “squared off” but it’s teal! https://www.homedepot.com/p/Home-Decorators-Collection-Barcelona-73-in-W-x-22-in-D-Double-Bath-Vanity-in-Teal-Blue-with-China-White-Marble-Top-and-White-Basin-13212-VS73J-TB/205194539

I know this is way too expensive but I like the color and the legs: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Avanity-Harper-73-in-Vanity-in-Natural-Teak-with-Carrera-White-Basin-Marble-Top-HARPER-VS73-NT/305697863. Or get it at Bed Bath with a coupon LOL and put in your own sinks and top!

This is a large 14" globe. There might be more on Wayfair. It allows to sort light pendants by “damp location” and other features. Very nice.

I also tried Amazon, but its search engine just sucks. I hate Amazon with a passion for this. They do it on purpose - to show you as much unrelated crap as possible so you would get sidetracked and suckered into buying more. Not acceptable when all I want is specifics.

@HImom the Barcelona vanity is the exact one I put into the little Hoarder House!! It has a fantastic and unusual design. However, it came shipped in one solid piece, top and sinks attached. The guys almost killed me as they had to carry it up those steep front stairs and shimmy the thing on its end through the 24” doorway off a sharp let turn in hallway

If you look closely at the pebbles…they really aren’t pebbles, they are flat cuts on marble stone in the retro atomic shapes. I think I need to take a closer picture

@Marilyn I like the vanities you posted but, IMO, they seem more New England beach house to me than California MCM.

@coralbrook — love all you’ve done. I do like things that either rest solidly on the floor (so you don’t have to clean a tiny space between there the cabinet ends and the floor) OR big enough for the robotic vacuum to clean. That was how we chose the couch—legs had to be high enough for robotic vacuum!

MCM furniture Is known for its longish legs! :slight_smile:

@doschicos, that was my point - the floor seemed more cottage than MCM. I had up the picture that Cb had posted of the floor and was looking at floating cabinets next to it and they just didn’t seem to fit. I thought those legs on the $3000 cabinet looked very 1950’s, like an old tv table. I’m hanging around the house recovering from a broken foot so have nothing better to do than endlessly scroll through web sites :-S .

Ouch Marylin. Hope it heal quickly!!!

I like the cabinets you posted, @Marilyn. The last two probably fit Coralbrook’s house better, but the first two are my favorites.

Sorry Marilyn, for some reason I typed @himom for the cabinets in previous post.

I’m waiting until I have all of my returns for IKEA gathered together. For some reason we end up with endless pieces and parts extra that we do not need… but at least with IKEA I can take them back to return, unlike other cabinet orders. Sometimes I can return all kinds of Kraftmaid stuff to Lowe’s that I get that I don’t need, which seems weird because it is all custom / special order.

When I go back in I’m going to look very carefully at their kitchen cabinets to see if we can hack a floating vanity out of the kitchen cabinets. They have some fun colors. I think the glossy flush type cabinets might look good in there as a floating vanity with very slim handles.

I have analyzed that it will cost me only about $600 to get the cabinets, another $300 to modify them and install, then about $250 to get countertop and sinks installed.

Kind of like this

Maybe these uppers??? Although the relief design might fight with the shower relief design
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/ikea_kitchens/inspiration/roomset/20182_come01a/

This is a beautiful color, but not sure it will work with the pale greens / wood / white that is in the pebble tile
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/ikea_kitchens/inspiration/roomset/20172_come02a/

This is my favorite and would work perfect in the bathroom, but for some reason I cannot find the cabinet color on the ‘order’ page, but they have a picture in their gallery on the website
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/ikea_kitchens/inspiration/roomset/20171_come07a/

This plain ash coloring would look good with the floor tile
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/ikea_kitchens/inspiration/roomset/20173_come03a/

Kind of a creamy color that might not look good with the tile in the room, but no handles required, very sleek and MCM
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/ikea_kitchens/inspiration/roomset/20171_come02a/

Or same walnut that is installed in the kitchen
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/ikea_kitchens/inspiration/roomset/20154_come25a/

Too many choices!!! But most of my favorites are out of the budget

Can you use the doors from something like this on a wider cabinet?

https://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/spr/19231289/

@coralbrook - I thought it looked familiar!

In researching, I think that mint green color is not available in the USA; I found references to it being sold in Australia and also for pounds. But not dollars. IKEA seems to be using the picture to sell accessories rather than cabinets in their website.

The relief kind of works with the shower wall design, just squares instead of rectangles. Can’t tell how close the shades are.

I like the dark turquoise -the pebble tile seems to include a darker teal tone although it’s hard to tell in the photos for sure. The darker cabinet would pull out the greens on the floor. If you’d rather not emphasize that shade, then a more neutral cabinet would work better, probably the lighter the better.

I cannot find the relief door design on the kitchen ordering website either. The cabinet BunsenBurner has in her link is the light grey green color I want, maybe I’ll have to hack that TV cabinet:) but its only 15" deep, so I would have to buy 3 of the white box cabinet frames. Will have to go into IKEA and see if the doors and cabinet sizes line up.

Ill bring a piece of the tile to see what looks good

CB - it looks like IKEA has that relief door on a “sink cabinet” (which is what they call vanity).

There are tons of web sites devoted to hacking IKEA products.

@Marilyn . i think you hit the jackpot!!! The relief plain cabinet is just the right size…i could use 3 of them to fill the space and have something fin in there

And the other link has the drawer fronts in my favorite color!!! I see a Hack coming on:)

Can’t wait to see the results.

I am seriously tempted to start an IKEA hack in our bathroom! We will be doing a Pax hack for the bedroom for sure.
