Bathroom - Loading....50%...

Eek! We finally had our bathroom tiled, and I am so happy I almost want to sleep in the bath just in case I wake up and it was all a dream. 

For those who don't remember, when we first moved in the bathroom looked like this..

It's a small space, due to the humongous great airing cupboard (soon to be removed!). A few months back we got a whole new bathroom set. We'd had the bathroom replastered due to mould and it was the perfect time to replace the worn out old units. Plus they were beige, gag. Once they were in, I painted the plaster with an undercoat and then a top coat of Dulux mint white, which looked so white at first but darkened over the days following. But after the shower curtain rail pulled a chunk of plaster off and I accidentally flicked dark blue paint everywhere opening the tin, we just knew it was time to get the tiling done and hide all remnance of my butter fingers! 

The builders started by mounting the white ceramic tiles...

Then filled the gaps with silicone.

The tiles are so lush, the bottom photo was taken in the dark with just the camera flash to show you a better idea of their size. They're slightly more cream than white as they have to dry before we can wipe them clean of builders dust so will be more white. 

We also bought some black vinyl flooring a long time ago but another builder told us it would bubble up with the humidity so we stored it in the attic for another project. Our current builders have reassured us it can be laid in the bathroom, as long as they prep the floor beforehand. The space is so small we could have used an offcut, but since we got the flooring roll anyway it seemed silly to pass up the offer! We also bought a gorgeous metal towel rail a long time ago to replace the old radiator but we realised we accidentally got an electric one...so will be trading that in asap for one that connects to the boiler. 

Sometime in the future we are removing the airing cupboard, which won't be a huge job, and housing the boiler on its own, to open up the space below for a small storage unit to fit in. The bathroom isn't a room either of us are bothered about as a priority, but with hubs disabilities, the difference between having to have a bath or a shower is monumental. He's very happy it's almost shower-proof! We just have to find a glass shower door now....

Project bathroom, halfway there. <3
