Before and After Bathroom

Nearly eight years ago we moved into our house that was built in 1890.  The previous owner went sponge painting mad and we are still changing it.  This time it was the downstairs powder room. 

                                                             BEFORE
 
Almost forgot to take a before picture!  Lifting peel and stick fake parkay look floor, old oak look vanity, brass 3 bulb light, grungy taps due to previously rusty water supply, and. . . . . .


The Sponge Painted Ceiling!



AFTER

We painted the walls and ceiling a grey blue (polar drift) colour and the cabinets blue cascade.  Replaced the floor, hardware on cabinets,  light, mirror, taps and towel bars etc.  It is really, really nice.


And we finished it off with the "storage wars" picture on the wall.  The picture came from a hotel and was left in a storage unit.  We helped to clean it out and brought the picture home.  George, took it apart, fixed the mat and painted the brassy gold frame black.  It fits the room perfectly and gives it a mediteranean feel.  And of course no room is finished until it has headless Roman statues in it!
