Bathroom and toilet makeover

[Dons-Glenno]

After living in our home and renovating it for the last 7 years, this past year we managed to demolish and fully renovate our bathroom and toilet. We have added hints of Messmate Timber, James Hardy VJ Groove Lining, a Timber-look floor tile and concrete look wall tile, accessorising it with Black Bathroom Fittings and Fixtures and topping it all off with the beautiful accent colour - British Paints Preserved Rainforest as our feature wall. We have also replaced the old window with a larger new one taking in our beautiful views.

Steps

Step 1

Demolition Time

 

 This was a challenge, this wall was reinforced with wire!!

Step 2

Plastering the ceiling.

We actually had a professional Plasterer put this up with the cornice. We have hung plaster in other rooms, but we wanted this to be done by a professional. Plastering is not our forte'.  We sanded and painted it though.

 

Step 3

Hanging Cement Sheets and Water Proofing 

 

Step 4

Hanging the Groove Lining

Step 5

Putting in the new window

  

Step 6

Tiling the walls and floor

    

Step 7

Painting Ceiling and Groove Lining

   

Step 8

Putting in the Shower Screen, New Internal Door, Heated Towel Rail and Mirror

    

Step 9

Adding the Vanity, Fixtures and Fittings

   

Step 10

Having our 'tradies' sort out the plumbing and electrical, here is our completed Bathroom and Toilet Makeover that we are so very proud of.

Hi @Dons,

Thank you for sharing your bathroom renovation and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you join us.

I love the aesthetic you've created with the natural timber, the black fixtures and fittings, that beautiful green VJ feature wall and that brilliant backlit mirror.

The massive new window will surely allow the light to stream in during the day and put a shine on all the hard work you've done.

Congratulations on a fantastic project.

Jacob

Hi @Dons-Glenno,

Let me also extend a very warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. We're so pleased to have you join us and look forward to reading more about your projects and plans for around the house and garden.

Just wondering if you have some high-res photos you could share with the community? Your project is terrific, so it would be great to be able to see the detail of your work a little clearer with larger photos. I'm sure your handiwork will inspire others.

Thanks for sharing.

That looks fantastic!

Hi @Dons-Glenno , this looks fantastic, great choice of materials and colours. Did you build the vanity unit, was that messmate also?  .

Well done, I’m looking forward to see your other projects.

Hi @JoeAzza 

Looking at the photo it appears to be messmate as well. It looks amazing and the timber grain really stands out. But well wait for confirmation from @Dons-Glenno.
