Bathroom - Complete!

It feels like a longgggg time since my last "complete!" post!  And it feels almost as long since the bathroom rip-out started.  7th April was D-Day (Demolition Day) and the bathroom has been mostly finished since the end of April, it's just been the last few niggly bits left over.  But as of today, we're declaring the bathroom Officially Complete.  Hurrah!

I'll let the pictures do the talking...

Before:




Tiles coming off the walls, mould...


Emptied and ready to go!


Skip delivery :D


The bath is gone!


Plasterboard gone!  The reason for this is we were also ripping out the "en suite" (shower in a cupboard) in the master bedroom, which sat halfway between the bedroom and the bathroom.  We therefore decided to move the dividing wall about a foot into the bedroom, making a straight wall in there and giving us an extra foot of room in the bathroom.


Wall gone!

Aaaaand... finally finished, today:






My glass storage jars which have no purpose and Ian hates ;)



Tiles are Johnson Vivid in white and dark grey - they both have a pale grey pinstripe running through them but it's hard to photograph on the white.

Beautiful basin tap:


And to finish, here's a little before and after juxtaposition:
