Looking back recently at my bathroom post here and here I am reminded that I never actually posted before and after shots of the work we had done to our family bathroom last summer. The main reason for this blog is to record the progress of the house!! I think I was waiting for the wall lights for next to the mirror – I have not found the perfect ones yet – but I’ve decided to post without them as it’s been six months since the work!
The existing family bathroom on the first floor was white and blue with plastic lino flooring, a fitted bath and an old, leaky, mouldy electric shower. After several leaks from the shower and toilet into the kitchen downstairs, we decided to refurbish the entire space and install a new boiler and central heating system (put up in the loft). Part of the work was to knock through into an airing cupboard on the landing to make maximum use of all available space and we put the shower in that space.
