1980s bathroom and laundry renovation

Finding My Feet

1980s bathroom and laundry renovation

The project was to renovate a 1980s laundry / toilet into a bathroom / laundry to transform our 4x1 house into a 4x2.

Underneath the cupboard doors were all sorts of creepy crawlies and the toilet was used only in desperate situations. The new bathroom / laundry has a fully functional shower, ample storage, washer and dryer and a large trough. It’s a luxurious space that we appreciate and very much enjoy using. Well done Scotty!

Hello @hollyjenaway 🖐

Spectacular result (and very space efficient layout) the before photo really tells the tale, I am curious was much involved in altering the orientation of the toilet? 🤔

Hi DIYGnome

Thank you for the feedback we are thrilled with how it turned out. I was unaware of the work involved however I just checked with my husband and he says yes it was a lot of work to move the toilet! It required cutting into the slab and changing the pipe work outside of the house.

Thanks again for commenting!
