showery with a chance of tatties


Finally our bathrooms are finished and I must say, we're quite pleased with the results. For a start they're not the colour of baby poo (do you remember the avocado suite and it's brown patches?). Instead they are clean and white and sparkly and this is very pleasing indeed. Although we did our best to source the best buys, the cost for totally refurbishing two bathrooms is disturbing. At least I think it is but I'm not actually going to add it up; we certainly spent more than a penny. (haha, get it?!)

Sorry. Anyway, moving on...

The main bathroom has grey porcelain tiles from Tile Star, bathroom suite from ebay (a good deal with some tense bidding on my part), the lights are from B&Q. The ensuite tiles are also from Tile Star - the black mosaic ones were quite pricey -hence why there's only a few off them- but the white ones off set that. The bathroom suite are also more ebay buys. I'm especially chuffed by the 'designer look' shower fitting from Plumbworld at a mere £75!

In other news, in case you didn't notice, it rained a lot this summer in Scotland. If you look closely at the picture on the right, you can see that there's actually a waterfall cascading down our steps.






And here's some of the veg we've managed to grow. Definitely on the way to living 'the good life'!
