Just a quick update I have finally got the painting done. Mate white for the ceiling and the coving. For the walls I used Dulux Blue Reflection or "Duck Egg Blue" to the rest of us.
I also painted the door surround and skirting in this colour as I matt finish on the woodwork and it looks simple and unfussy.
Karen wanted a traditional cottage feel to the bathroom. A bit difficult to achieve with a plastic bath, modern basin and lowflush toilet. We can't quite stretch to buying a new bathroom suite but Karen found a good online supplier call Victorian Plumbing where we could get some traditional looking fittings.
We bought some nice reprodution victorian taps and a white tongue and groove toilet seat. Which go well with the Torus moulded shirting boards to give us the feel we want.
I don't want to put that nasty flimsy plastic bath panel back on so I'm going to make my own. Well if I can build a boat I can build a bath panel. I plan to reuse the battens I used for tiling to make a frame. I want to cut a rebate in the inner edge of the frame to fit some tongue in groove paneling. This should help with the cottage feel of the room. I bought extra shirting to fix to the bottom of the panel which will tie into the existing skirting.
Hopefully I will get it sorted next weekend.
