Bathroom makeover
I haven't had a shower since Saturday morning and I've not washed my hair since Friday morning, I feel stinky and my head itches. None of this is because I'm lazy with my washing but because Matt and his Dad have been making over our bathroom! It's not finished yet but you have to take a look:
Before:
Old gross & moldy peach floor and peach walls with what felt like 100 holes in them. Here you can see matt filling them in preparation for painting. The shower leaked down the side of the bath and the previous tenant never bothered to stop it. The underneath of the lino was always damp and those black patches you can see is mould on the underside. Yuck.
After:
Now we have blue vinyl floor tiles, the walls are painted white (with a hint of blue) and there is a sealing strip along the shower door to stop the leaking. We still have to hang the new mirror above the sink and put shelves above the toilet, but both jobs shall be done before the end of the week. All this was done while spending as little money as possible because we rent the flat and it would be silly to invest much more into something we don't own. We aren't planning to move for a good while and so we wanted to make it a bathroom we were happy using.
It all looks so much brighter and cleaner. I'm looking forward to running myself a lovely long hot bubble bath with my candy bubble bar slice from lush. And I can't wait to have a good wash.
