Welcome to my new readers, apologies for the lack of welcome, it's been a hectic month :-0
We've renovated our bathroom, hurrah!
So it's gone from this:
 |
| what we inherited |
To this
To this
To this......
TA DA!!!
I'm thrilled it with it! My design inspiration was Art Deco and it's all been done on a budget!
Apparently pink bathroom suites aren't fashionable anymore ;-)
I'm so fed up with seeing the same plain white suites in everyone's bathrooms that I wanted something different for ours. I started looking on auctions sites and came across this suite, brand new and had been stored in the owners garage. It came with a bidet as well as all the matching taps and a soap dish all the for the pricely sum of £125!!! We did have drive through 5 counties to collect it however ti was definitely worth it.
I sold the bidet for £25 so our suite cost us £100 not including diesel.
The tiles all came form the reduced section for various branches of a diy store in my area and came in at £ a box/1/2 metre, total £180.
The majority of the budget went on labour costs and the taps! Who knew they were so expensive!
It won't be to everyone's taste but we love it and why be the same when you can be different?!

I do like it!
ReplyDeleteOurs is also pink but covered in flowers too (yuck!) and we have carpet.
But we will be turning our attention towards the bathroom soon.

I've never understood carpet in bathrooms,it was the thing though I seem to remember! Hope your head's ok today! ;-) x
DeleteIt's lovely, and if you like it that's all that matters. I'm sure most of my house isn't to other people's taste - particularly the chocolate orange kitchen- but I don't care as we love it! We really want to renovate our shower room as we want to put a bath back into it ( the previous owner had a high tech shower cubicle fitted instead.Apart from the lack of a bath there's nothing wrong with it, so we can't justify it at the moment.
ReplyDeleteHello, you're still here! Hope all's well with you? Thanks for your comment, I loved your kitchen and think its more interesting to be different. Keep in touch x
DeleteIt looks brilliant! I thought very classy and classic with the floor in black and white - Well done xxx
ReplyDeleteAw thanks, it's actually nice to have a bath now rather than getting out asap. The picture doesn't really show the mould, terrible tiles and shower held together with duct tape!! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is fab! I love the tiles on the floor (or is it vinyl?!) we had exactly the same in our first kitchen, were did you get it? So nice to read your blog again been too busy and out of the blog loop! xxxx
ReplyDeleteHI Grace, welcome back, we've missed you! Sadly the flooring is a lovely thick vinyl rather than tiles,but looks great and easier to keep clean with 2 males in the family!! x ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great and I lurve your tiles and flooring but I'd be thrilled with the 'before' too! We inherited an original 60's purple tiled bathroom which I have partially dismantled and stood on the loo and broke it and we have only 2 cold taps that work. No hot ones. Just saving up for a new bathroom! EK x
ReplyDeleteI love pink bathroom suites, and toyed with a similar idea myself. I just wasn't as brave as you. Looks great.
