Hello.  I also live in Crescent House and have done so for 30 years.  However, I have never had an original bathroom cupboard fitted in and have never seen any in other flats.  I don't know how long you have lived here, but its highly likely your cupboard was not an original fitting.

I thought these would be the original - http://www.modernistestates.com/rent/golden-lane-estate-3/ 

Thank you

hello Marcia.  Now I am more confused.  The link you posted showed a Crescent House kitchen, not bathroom, and the blue and yellow cupboards there are not originals either.

That's the main picture of the listing but if you swipe you can see the bathroom there as well! Sorry, should have been specific :)

Okay.  I see it now.  As I earlier said, that is not original.  The cupboard was added by a resident later on.  Maybe, you can just purchase a cupboard that looks similar as no original ones exist.

Hi Maria,
Not sure if it helps. . .
The image in the rental post is from our flat. The bathroom mirror was from IKEA. The kitchen coloured panels were made by a joiner in keeping as best we could with what remained.
All the other joinery is original. Jade

Thanks Jade.  I know to some people it was important to keep the originals.  When I moved into my flat many years ago everything was original.  Unfortunately, most were in such poor condition it had to be replaced and updated.
