a little bit of inspiration goes a long way!!

well the bathroom saga continues..the hubby got the tongue and groove up finally last night but ran out once he got near to the end.. literally needs about 2 pieces .. how galling is that!!..

i painted it about 10.30 last night.. talk about dedication.. ( or madness some might say!)..

today hubby has laid the other half of the rooms tiles on the floor and has just ran out of grout for about 4 tiles.. ( can you see a pattern emerging here!)


so because i still cant see the light at the end of the tunnel here i just thought id show you some of the pictures of bathrooms from the http://www.housetohome.co.uk/ website that are a little bit inspirational to me !!






I'm not a lover of lilac to be honest but i think this looks really feminine and i love the collection of mirrors and vintage plates




this is definitely been my main inspiration with the grey cladding and floral wallpaper.. i just love this


how lovely is this with the baby pink and the gorgeous floral towels, i really want a mix of floral and dotty towels but i think I'm going to have to save up for the ones i want!!!... and i sort of don't want them getting spoilt by the boys of the house !!!

i hope our cladding looks as smart as this... but the way i paint i cant imagine that!!




love this coastal look.. i think it looks very 1950s and brighton rocks!!!

if you havnt been on the housetohome website you must go on ..they have so many pictures of rooms to give you inspiration.. im always on it haveing a nose as they tend to update each month.. so they give you the best rooms from all the mags including country homes and interiors so somtimes i feel like i dont even need to buy the magazine anyway!!!!!

  11. Love all those bathrooms to bits!! I'm sure it wont take too long to complete yours, then you can take pics!!
    I love the floral & polka dot towels too. While you're saving up for those, have you thought of sewing bands of your favorite rosey & spotty fabrics on the edges of white towels? They look really pretty, and it doesn't cost a lot. (Would be a good idea to wash the fabric first, to make sure it has shrunk a bit first.)
    Keep us posted on your bathroom : )

  14. The last picture just gave me an idea on how I would design my kid's bathroom. My kids want to have a blue and yellow bathroom, which I think is too awkward to combine. But seeing this, I think the idea is achievable. And I don't have to change the current toilet seat and sink since it's already white. I'm just wondering what kind of tile they used. Is it a ceramic tile? It's been 2 years now, how does your bathroom look now? I hope you achieved the look that you wanted.
