Bathroom fixtures

Yesterday we drove around town looking for all of the fixtures for the bathroom (except lighting). We purchased the plumbing fixtures at SaveMore Plumbing and the tile from C&S Tile. I am quite pleased with the selection that was available at each supplier.

We also had a very eventful day at IKEA sourcing out the GODMORGON sink cabinet and BRAVIKEN sink. The cabinet was the problem. We had decided many weeks ago that we would purchase the cabinet with oak drawer fonts as it fit in the color scheme we were going for. We were not in any rush to purchase the cabinet and sink since it was from IKEA and we could pick it up from their store (no special ordering needed). We looked at the cabinet and sink in the showroom as we had done many times before. When we went to pick up he cabinet from the warehouse area we were advised it has been discontinued in oak. We panicked a bit, persuaded the store manager to have the display cabinet removed. On our way to the as-is department to have the display item priced, we noticed the exact same product, new in the box in the as-is department for 50% off the regular price. This was even cheaper than the reduced price they offered us for the display item. Needless to say we purchased the item that was 50% off. Here are some photos of the items we purchased this weekend. It looks like we are on track to complete the bathroom this month.
