Feature Tile

For Jacqui - who requested a close-up of the feature tile.

New bathroom

Just so you can see how far we have come in this room, a reminder of what it looked like in January!





The colour is Dulux Green Pawpaw.

What are we doing ??

Since we last put up a post, we have been quietly preparing for the next stages of the reno. We have had a glazier measure up for the shower screen, and it is being manufactured now. We have also had two Joinery companies measure up for quotes to make and install a new kitchen. We have had their first drafts, and are now working on the second. And . . . we have started PAINTING the bathroom with it's final colour! Stay posted . . . next week we will reveal the colour.
