I made a frantic call to Jeff - who was also completely horrified - and in a few hours he had organised someone to have a look the next morning. He can't do it, but his mate can - on Thursday. So I'm a few days behind yet again, but Colin is my hero, turns up, asks what I want done and not only says "no problem, whatever you want", but also says "oh that'd look great"!!! whoo hoo - no more grumpy tiler. Three days later I have a beautifully tiled bathroom. Then the plumber and electrician pop back in, put in the fittings and the final touches and it's DONE!
I love the earthy feel to the room.

The loo, tucked away behind the door!
I love it. It's a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be, and bizarely, seems bigger than it did when there was nothing in it! Go figure! Anyway, it's all done and I'm just thrilled. Just needs a cost of paint now (and, the showerscreen hadn't been put in when these pics were taken). And I didn't really go over budget. All up, the bathroom cost under $9000. Awesome!

I enjoyed reading your blog. Your new bathroom looks great. I'm rather jealous!
Bathroom looks awesome. Is teh shower screen just a glass panel that goes one third along the bath?
Hey Dani & Mezza - the screen goes about half way but is on a swivel so it can open and close, which is so much easier than a fixed panel as you can actually reach the taps without almost falling in!
I've just spent a good half hour going through your bathroom renovation posts. It's really timely that I discovered these as I've had a gutsful of our 1.8m x 1.7m bathroom and am NOT going through another winter with it as it is - south facing with no extractor fan = damp and mould, rotting wood, rotting shower linings, ugly vinyl floor, revolting bath. So it's been great reading how yours progressed and how little it cost whilst looking so great!
