After
Transformation of an outdated bathroom 







Before
This is another large project undertaken on my home, the task involved removing the old out of date burgundy bathroom suite, blocking up the back door to utilise a wasted passageway and to install French doors leading out to the garden, this would also become my new back door.  



The project required new plumbing in the shower room and plumbing for the washing machine, which was to be relocated from the kitchen into the utility room, a new partition wall to separate the shower and utility rooms and new lighting and sockets,  plasterwork and tiling.  It was only a small area and it was important to utilise every inch of space to the maximum.   I decided on grey slate tiles for the flooring, grey emulsion paint and a colour called Lime Sorbet as a contrast colour with black tiles in the utility area and white tiles with black trims in the shower room.  The shower room has been finished with chrome accessories and a beautiful 1920's figurine print.   Grey and black striped curtains add the finishing touch in the utility room and I am sure you will agree it has all come together well.

My Boudoir         
One of the rooms in my home that has barely been touched apart from a coat of paint, some new wallpaper on the chimney breast wall and new soft furnishings to complement the colour scheme.  I am rather proud of this room but there will be a lot of work to do once I decide to start the renovation process to match the woodwork to the rest of the rooms throughout the house.     



I have a selection of trunks and hat boxes which make great storage for handbags, scarves and costume jewellery and these have been collected on my travels.  I also have a collection of Theatre Programmes from shows that I have seen over the years and some of these are displayed together on one wall.








                                                        I am happy with the look of this room at the present time considering that it has had minimal decoration work carried out on it.  Think I will leave it for the moment but I will keep you updated should I make any changes.
