The only finished room in the house…

… is the bathroom and we love how it turned out!

We are very lucky to live in a 4 bedroom Edwardian house.

But, we could only afford to buy it because it was a complete wreck.

We have had to re-do the electrics and the heating, there was no insulation in the loft, the garage and porch were asbestos… I could go on, but you get the general idea!

And now after 6 long years of saving, renovating and living in an often dangerous mess with two small boys our patience is really beginning to fail us.

 

So, this week whilst my house is yet again over run with painters, plasterers and carpenters and their associated noise and mess I have been drawing comfort from the only room that is exactly how we want it to be.

 

 

 

 

I can not even imagine how wonderful it will be to have every room looking so nice.

We can not wait.

    It will be lovely when it is all done. That bathroom is like a magazine. Well done.

    It looks wonderful- I only wish I had a room finished as well as that. My house is a Victorian maisonette that was ‘renovated’ before I bought it and i’m having to live with some horrors until I can afford to get it just right.

    What colour was the paint you used?

    The paint colour is ‘Dead Salmon’ by the wonderful ‘Farrow and Ball’. It took me a long time to get Tony to agree to a pinky/ brown bathroom, but he loves it now too!
