My bathroom - finished at last!!

Well, I say finished - there's still a couple of teeny bits to do.  We'll be replacing the doors soon, so I haven't painted the doorframes & there's a little bit of sealing to do.  (oh & the lights could do with replacing with nicer ones)  Other than that it's good to go!!

Here's what it looked like before...

Look at the nasty wallpaper...


 And the horrible floor...

Oh look - more of that wallpaper, and as for the toilet.....


Sooo, we stripped off the wallpaper - to discover that underneath the horrid yellow painted blown vinyl it was pink - with a layer of mould....



And underneath the sink, we discovered this...


So at some point in the past, the bathrooms been a fetching shade of orange.  With the distinct possibility that it was black as well.  We also found scraps of a dark blue flowery wallpaper...  tasteful!!



So, a lot of wallpaper/mould removal; tiling & painting later (oh & toilet replacement!)  May I present...




Waddya think?
