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.

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-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.

Here are some "better" photos from our bathroom reno.
I look forward to sharing more of our other renos under some of the other categories.
Kind regards,
Donna (aka Dons-Glenno)
Beautiful shots Donna (@Dons-Glenno).
Thanks so much for sharing. I've updated the main hero image on your post.

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.
