2016 - 20th February - Bathroom - a bit of a makeover

20th February 2016

We moved here last year and I just put up some basic curtains at the window and the glass door for privacy, but I've never really been happy with it, we recently bought a new york design toilet seat ( argos January sale- £16.99) as the hinges had broke on the old pine seat. I wanted something different, not the usual pine, pink plastic etc





The bathroom is decorated a pale lilac colour with grey tiles, lilac wallpaper and a lilac bath suite, perfectly functional, not changed since it was built years ago.

the toilet works, a lovely large sink and nice bath, I can't understand those who rip out a perfectly good bathroom suite just because it isn't the latest and greatest from Homes & Gardens, what a waste of time, effort and money!

Anyway off to ebay again and I've found a lovely pair of used Dunelm curtains 66 x 72 so I've used one for the door, a perfect fit.


door curtain before...


used Dunelm curtains for £10 - bargain!

and the window before...





and again from ebay, some dark aubergine curtains (£8.99 used) which look great with a curtain pole we had at the last house which I cut to size

true colour, a lovely dark aubergine colour





not a very good photo, the true colour is the ebay photo above.

and a rug (new) which goes with all the different colours. There is already a carpet in , yes I know most people just have a lino floor but I can't be doing with all that mopping up, we have bath mats for getting out of the bath and they go in the wash each week and just a quick hoover round, done.

(ebay photo)


my photo - you can just see the lilac bath


as you can see Kitt cat likes the new rug, well it is next to the radiator!

so a updated bathroom for just over £50, have a good weekend
