Bathroom Tour

Well, in the abscence of any recent art work i thought i'd do another tour, inspired by a few blogs i've been checking out...sooo the bathroom... here is the bath, which I painted to match the wood panelling - the little chandelier at the back holds little candles that look so pretty when lit and the small iron table at the back is perfectly positioned so i can easily access my wine/ beer, which i frequently have in the bath...bliss! [please note a real hot bath makes it go to your head quicker ...hence why i do it!!! :-) )
Then, the shower
I made the cushion on the chair...I was really pleased with this; I did some patchwork first and even used the button thingymecutter on the sewing machine so i could fasten the pad in safely - I can not believe it as I got F- grade at school in needlework and hated it - Miss Fitchett would never believe it!!! Just shows what you can do sometimes. The rug is a TK Maxx find - love that shop. I also made the pelmets above the window...a little wonky as you can see but I don't mind.

Then my bathroom mirror ...

Then lastly my bathroom cabinet, which was in a really bad way when we got it for twenty quid + a mars bar from a local scrap yard! The guy has left it in the rain so it was a bit rotten - Paul sorted out the wood and I decorated using scrap book papers, varnish and paints - see, I even mix media my furniture nowadays...a few coats of varnish seem to have protected it ok so far :-)

So that's the bathroom done.
