Bathroom and toilet makeover

Bathroom and toilet makeover

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

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.

Hi @tnsmith001 

 

It's a total character transformation, it looks like it stepped right out of a design magazine!

Thanks for your nice comment. The vanity is made out of messmate, we had it custom built for our space and love its warmth and grain. We have used messmate a few more times through our Reno’s as a feature. Stay tuned

Re: Bathroom and toilet makeover

Beautiful end result. I didn’t even know there was such a thing as wood look tiles. I’m learning so much here. 

Re: Bathroom and toilet makeover

@Dons-Glenno  Thankyou for replying, I have been thinking of build a vanity unit, I liked your vanity and timber used, just have to find out where to buy some for my project.
