The project

This bathroom makeover all started when visiting my local Bunnings store and seeing a brochure on VJ panelling. A spark was ignited and I started investigating the possibility of using this product in my bathroom. I began collecting images and ideas of how I could complete the bathroom on a budget.

The real journey began when a family member was going to use a beautiful piece of reclaimed timber as a workbench in their garage. We wanted something like that as our feature piece in our bathroom.

The renovation was a challenge, but the wonderful staff at my local Bunnings, as well as Google and Pinterest, became my best friends. I learned everything from tiling and grouting to panelling. I spent my days going back and forth from my local Bunnings store and this renovation would not be possible without their vast selection of products and advice. 

Bye bye, old seashell tiles.

Our feature benchtop.

We could not be more happy with our bathroom renovation and now our ensuite is set in our sights!
