Properly, that’s basically essentially the most thrilling enterprise I’ve ever labored on – it started on day 4 of shifting into our residence! We accomplished the kiddies bedrooms closing week and I did a reveal of Isla’s mattress room makeover in time for her birthday. This week it’s our toilet. It is not 100% accomplished nevertheless enough to WOW at it!
After we first moved into this residence the rest room was two rooms. We had a rest room room and a bathe room, with an infinite self-esteem cabinet in it. You probably can see our week 1 growth to see merely how completely totally different it appeared up proper right here after we moved in.
After we started this enterprise, it was very lots a very really feel as we go – I had no drawings, no most important plans drawn up. It was truly stage by stage to get to what I needed which was a roll prime tub and my incredible grey floor tiles. It didn’t matter what tub, toilet or sink we bought – my aim was to have the roll prime and the grey attribute floor tiles.
Stage 1 – Knock the wall down
The very very first thing we would have liked to do was to make the 2 rooms into one room. This was a case of taking a wall out, which left pretty a mess in-between the lavatory room and bathe room. We had it like this for some time as we would have liked to look forward to the plasterer. It was very thrilling though.
Stage 2 – plastering the partitions
As a method to get the rest room plastered, so that you just wouldn’t know that it was 2 rooms, we would have liked to do quite a lot of work: eradicated all of the wall tiles, take the lavatory, sink and self-esteem unit out of the room and get rid of the outdated pink carpet (it was the equivalent one now we have now in our most important bed room).
Stage 3 – wall and floor tiles
I cherished this stage as a result of the plaster had dried, which was masses lighter. When it was first completed the room appeared so darkish and felt claustrophobic, however it rapidly lightened and felt comfy as soon as extra. We chosen our gorgeous floor tiles from Tons of Tiles, the Dorset attribute greythey’re commented on by all individuals and I fully love them. I actually like how Tons of Tiles have used my image on their site too – feeling very honoured!
The Swave wall tiles are from Topps Tiles, I needed one factor plain and I truly appreciated the letterbox sort tile design. These tiles are textured and within the appropriate gentle have a stunning glittery shimmer – they’re truly pretty. I consider they reward the rest room reasonably properly. It’s humorous as they seem grey in amongst the whole thing else nevertheless they’re white. We used these tiles to create a boxing throughout the pipework too – so it appears to be good and neat throughout the bathtub.
Stage 4 – our toilet suite
We made our toilet suite up from completely totally different areas. I was prompt to get a shorter tub than common as we couldn’t make sure the larger one would match. So I found a 1500mm roll prime tub on loos.com, it was an excellent worth and it’s acrylic which suggests it’s gentle. There was no worries that the tub could be too heavy for our floorboards.
We then took a go to to B&Q, the place we found a toilet and sink that labored with our mix of newest and standard styled toilet. I actually like that it’s a mixture. I moreover found the tub taps and sink taps from proper right here, matching too!
We left the bathe as a result of it was- it was mannequin new after we purchased the house once more in January and it was the right within the market. It’s an infinite bathe and takes up nearly 1 / 4 of the rest room, however it really works for us. It’s very extremely efficient too.
Stage 5 – the ending touches
This was a pleasurable half as a result of it was putting the whole thing collectively and it appeared unbelievable. We had the under basin cabinet from VonHaus which gave us storage and it appeared good in opposition to the bottom tiles too. I fully adore our mirrored toilet cabinet from Illuminated Mirrors, it has battery operated lights so I didn’t must get an electrician to place in it. It matches fully inside the nook of our toilet and is an excellent place for my make up and morning routine objects. The sunshine that comes into the rest room is fab, so I want to benefit from it.
I actually like the rest room. It’s my favourite room within the residence. It has such a stunning gentle inside the daytime and the wall tiles make truly replicate the candle gentle – and that floor! WOW. I actually like sitting inside the tub with my tub caddyits from Dunelm and probably the issue I get requested about most. We purchased our toilet gear from ADDIS housewaresthe matching toilet brush and bin look good inside the remaining room.
The next steps for our toilet
So subsequent points are: we have now to finish painting the woodwork throughout the door physique. I painted the skirting boards and windowsill grey – undecided what coloration to do the door physique. We would like some toilet blinds or one factor to finish off the window frames and we might like some lights – I am not constructive what though. Then will most likely be accomplished up there!
Our worth vary for the rest room wasn’t enormous. We would have liked to improvise and I consider now we have now been truly lucky to have a superb family who wished to help us too. What would you do subsequent with this toilet, I might prefer to know inside the suggestions below or on social media: @mummyconstant.
