With so much work to do on the house when we moved in, after the first job of ripping up all the filthy carpets (see previous post). We decided on our limited budget the one place we could afford to sort straight away was our upstairs loo.
Before
AFTER - Blue & white stripe wallpaper Laura Ashley sale, Bunting won in an auction on Ebay £4.99
Hubby has spent hours and hours bringing the original door handles back to their former glory. They were almost black with dirt and age on all the doors in the house when we moved in. Pretty hearts again an auction find on Ebay.
Love this wooden sign, cheers me every time I go in the loo. Won in an auction on Ebay for £9.99, Hearts also off Ebay, gorgeous designer material (can't remember price or name)
Nautical inspired porthole mirror, the only item we have in our home that came from my OH's previous home (that he shared with his previous partner !) I am assured he choose it ! LOL!
There you go the first before and after pics of the smallest room in the house.
Stunning! I love the bunting!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love it! (No surprise there!) But the gorgeous nautical colours then all of your little touches.. just love it! And the door handle is just beautiful x
ReplyDeleteHi Whitelily, thank you, so do I. The men in the house don't "get it" but put up with my whims xx

ReplyDeleteLOL, Jen only a lady in a houseful of men could say that ! It has its moments shall we say. Infact I think its due for a change now as its been up for 5 yrs and has been scrubbed within an inch of its life near the toilet ! xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely room - and just what my daughter wants. I don't suppose you know which shade Laura Ashley wallpaper it was? Cobalt blue? Duck egg?
