Painted old bathroom and tile

Painted old bathroom and tile

Hello, 

My husband and I bought our house over a year ago and the one downfall was the bathroom - the rest of the house is beautifully painted, polished timber floors and large yard. This weekend I decided to tackle this and give it new life and tie together the house. 

The bathroom has tiles which are in fantastic condition, just ugly colours that bring down the space and home, the floor tiles need a very good scrub after painting but we are looking to keep them for now.

 

I have posted the photos here and will add our process steps below as adding the photos here is delaying my device :smile:

Hello @jye 

 

Let me tag @elmac to make them aware of your kind words and question. One of the main reasons for using paint is its affordability and quick turnaround. When compared to regular renovations, tiling by itself would take a good 5 days if not longer.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
