Room for a Bath

Posted: Saturday, November 28, 2009
 Here are some photos (finally) of the finished bathroom:

 Towels hanging along the wall from hooks on the picture rail.

 From the doorway, only this time down close and personal with the floor.
  The ceiling light, wall light bracket, candles on little cupboard and window, from doorway.
 A view of the various light sources. The candles are more for decoration than anything, though they come in useful in black-outs, which are not an uncommon occurrence here.

This photo was taken while standing on the edges of the bath, facing back towards the door. (Obviously!)

 Looking over the sink, past the shower, towards the door from the toilet corner.

So, this is our bathroom. Since I just took these photos today, I can say 'this IS our bathroom'. And it WAS our bathroom too. Over the past two years since its completion, not much has changed.

The completion of this room represented the conquering of a stage in the renovation. It was the first room to be completed and it was the room that had to be done before anything else. Completing this room meant the beginning of the rest of the renovation.

So you can imagine the relief and excitement we felt due to these reasons, but cast back to my post on our old bathroom and you will understand a little of the wonder and appreciation we also felt for this fresh, clean, light-filled 'water closet'.

Next post will reveal the Demolition of the Blue Bathroom...
