The Room Reveal You Have Been Waiting For - MY BATHROOM!

The award for the the most drawn out, never ending bathroom reno goes to ME! It kicked off late November and it took weeks. Two weeks of that I didn't have a toilet and for 2.5 weeks I didn't have a shower. Let me tell you, it felt like an eternity!! Once the bathroom was 'done' and we would actually shower, we waited a little longer for a shower screen to be fitted. Then by this stage December was well and truly underway and guess what, I couldn't get my mirror until the New Year. So we went nearly two months without a mirror in the house, let me tell you we didn't look pretty!! But now, lets take a look at what the bathroom looks like now (and why the three week build time was worth it!) and what it looked like before (remember the coffin bath?!).

AFTER - the finished product - Voil'a!

BEFORE - a very unexciting room, remember this?

I seriously don't know how the contestants on The Block tackle a bathroom in one week. Seriously?! Let's not talk about the building hiccups though (we can do another post for that), lets move on to more of the bathroom. 'Cause that's what you are all here to see right?!

AFTER - one of the key things I wanted in the bathroom was a wall mounted waterfall tap for the bath. It's just divine and such a relaxing place to unwind at the end of the day!

AFTER - I was so lucky to win these gorgeous natural cleaning products by Murchison- Hume Australia when the lovely Maya from House Nerd hosted a competition. They are so stunning so I leave them out to see, the packaging is so pretty isn't it?!

AFTER - one of the key things Hubby wanted was a large waterfall showerhead. We were able to adjust the layout of the shower to make it a larger space so this addition was very welcomed!

AFTER - one of the key things I learnt from Shayna Blaze from watching The Block was STORAGE. We had this full length cupboard recessed and have it full of linen and items. The storage is unbelievable and so worth it. It is such a seamless finish, it looks just like a wall you don't even notice it when you walk in. Handy little push catches on it make it a seamless finish.

AFTER - I LOVE the floor tile choice and the raw concrete look contrasted against the wooden floorboards.

Remember how I introduced my bathroom in this post as the most talked about room of the house? Well it still is, but for all the right reasons now. No longer are we talking about the bizarre bath, the chipped waterlogged cabinet or it being a very awkward room. Now we are talking about how much we want to stand under the waterfall showerhead and lounge in the bath. Much better conversation! Take a look here if you want to see the inspiration behind the room.

Tell me, have you survived a bathroom renovation? How long did it take you? Was there hiccups or smooth sailing along the way? What do you think of my end result? Is it what you imagined I would do?!

Leave me a comment below, I'd love to know your thoughts.
 I will do another post in the coming weeks of the ins & outs of a bathroom reno and how to accomplish it! It can be such a daunting project to tackle, I know it was for us.
