Bathrooms

So as it stands we have not posted in a long while.

The big reason is we were joined by a wee Bateman on the 1st of March.  His arrival has been lovely, wonderful, exciting.  However, it has in fact, distracted us from the other things we treasure, including our house build.

Over the next few weeks we'll endeavor to lead you thru the next steps, the finishing touches and the final moment of our build.

From this point we will go room to room, because the house at 1 March was going thru a quick transformation.

Today is ... drum roll..... the bathrooms.

Before unveiling pictures it is worth saying that there are some things we had to consider when doing the bathrooms

Showers - tile or cabinet ?
Vanities - wall hung or up from the floor?  How much bench space?  drawers or cupboards?
Grout - white, lite grey, mid grey, dark grey or beige?

Our decisions

Showers - tile for the master bath, cabinet for the spare
Vanities - wall hung with drawers and as much bench space as possible, thanks!


Grout - mid grey


STAGE 1
Master Bath - shower - tile floor to ceiling




The brown tile and the silver tile - the brown is the floor tile and the grey is a detail tile.

Spare bath - Tile around bath and shower cabinet


STAGE 2


Vanity drawer for the wash closet (aka toilet) - this is one of the features of our home that we really like - the separate vanity and toilet.



Spare Bath Cupboard





STAGE 3




We really love this combination of tile. 

It is a small bathroom so this was hard to get a good picture - but here it is with the shower to the right. We also used the light fixture pictured above the vanity and basin in both the spare bath and the toilet.
