Bathroom #2....

I'm getting there slowly with the before and after shots.... have to take a photo in that tiny time between me cleaning the room to be photo-worthy, and the kids getting in there and messing it all up again  :P


Anyway, here is the kids bathroom - I really love this room, especially the red tiles... its so light and airy, modern but fun...

and a huge improvement on what it was like before!


Bathroom before: this bathroom had a leak (behind the bin in this photo) - the previous owners didn't bother to fix it, just kept piling in more plaster to fill in the ever-widening gap, so gross! I didn't even get a proper photo of it, couldn't bear going into the room if I didn't have to.

Bathroom after.... ah, nice crisp and bright white... much better :)

Will post photo of bathtub shortly, once my camera is charged up (don't you hate that!).

Details in the ensuite




The first of the "before and afters"

Well, so much for 2 months to do the renovation. We moved in with no running water in the house, one toilet that worked, a huge huge mess of boxes and building materials, and a broken piano... but no matter, we have finally, several months later, started to 'see the light'. Here is the first room that is "finished".... drum roll...















The ensuite before the renovation (taken at the settlement
inspection, and they *did not* bother to clean it before we
took possession.... ewwwww)





The ensuite after the renovation (shiny and clean :) :)

More pics of the fittings will follow soon !
