My Summer Project - A mom bathroom
Denise Herald
8 years ago
With the kiddos grown, I decided to take over their golf-themed bathroom and make it a girls only space. I started the project with a vintage piece of granite as inspiration. I then painted oak cabinets and added feet to make it look like furniture, added a backsplash, added new tile floor, and updated the 'hollywood' lights. I hope you like it! All comments welcomed and appreciated.

Need help for my enlarged bedroom - Part One
Comments (25)Hi Denise I have just ordered shutters for my house for all the front windows which is costing around £1000 and roughly 8 or 9 square metres I'd estimate. However this is for DIY install shutters from the California Shutter company who have been recommended by a friend who uses them regularly, they aren't arriving until first week of December so I can't vouch how easy they are to fit yet!. They're prices start at £125 sqm in the sale at the moment. http://www.californiashutters.co.uk/ Take a look at Nina Campbell's Pagoda Garden fabric it's similar to your original accent fabric in the photo, although I don't have a sample to hand just now. It looks as though it has the stronger bluer tone you need to stand up to your walls. http://shop.ninacampbell.com/nina-campbell-fabric/autumn-2006/pagoda-garden.html I recommend a sample of a velvet or woven chenille for your footstool such as Osborne and Little's Peregrina F6350-07 or Canaletto F6142-10. These are contract fabrics suitable for upholstery which I can supply. Also Osborne and Little's domestic fabric Brehon Linens in F6520-20 is really gorgeous with lots of blue tones in which I feel would complement your scheme. Finally Sabi Addo F6272-08 is a really luxey light reflecting velvet and Rondelle Takarshi pictured here: http://www.osborneandlittle.com/products-and-collections/fabric/autumn2012/rondelle/tarkashi?id=2c149a3fd57045fd971eb480ac6a2b06 is a beautiful cut velvet for amazing cushions or throws if you are looking for that extra wow factor! If the blues become to silvery or yellowy you could always add in a neutral colour as I have done in my Coastal Scheme if you look on my profile. Just ask if you need to know any fabrics you see on the pictures. Hope this helps! PS I also supply Nina Campbell fabrics so if you need samples quickly please contact me rachel@spiniverdesign.com or 01637 621038 Best of luck I know how frustrating it can be!

Comments (11)Hello. The cheapest & most efficient way forward is to find a good local architect to help you with the layout. From my experience with similar houses, I know the following 1. that they are feel even narrower in real life than shown in any drawing. 2. that you can achieve better design layouts that allow you to avoid the "long skinny bedroom 2". 3. Similar houses that I have dealt with have low headroom in the loft. So any future loft conversions require due attention at this stage. 4. I know that the floor joists usually run parallel to the flank walls, so you can buy a straight flight of stairs off the shelf that would cost less than £1000 to supply & fit. 5. Storage is usually lacking in these types of houses. Getting an architect to see your house & to come up with design layouts based on accurate measurements will help you create a space that works. It will save you money in the long run....See MoreBathroom not working - need help with finishing touches
Comments (34)This might sound a bit oddball but how about a vintage tall corner cabinet for storing towels, bottles, etc. Just think that if you went with a small cabinet you’d have the same issues that you’re having now. There are lots of styles which you can pick up second hand for next to nothing and you could paint or varnish to how you want (this is just an example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rustic-Tall-Corner-Cabinet-Shabby-Chic/253999560281?hash=item3b238db659:g:dasAAOSwRhFbo1mG ). I initially thought of wallpaper but think it will look too busy all over, how about getting a sample and putting into a frame for artwork. I saw this pattern (see pics) and thought it would look great with your decor, thinks it’s called Flying ducks by Mulberry. Also added a pic with idea for mirror over the sink.

Comments (78)@Jaya Garella I wasn't 100% sure what you meant by 'the bras'? haha. none of the tiles on the mock up pic are anything I have specifically chosen - they are the least offensive on the app I had which is a house mock up program and not specifically for bathrooms. I would need a splashback with a sink unit though as that back sink/wc wall is just a wood frame at the moment so will need plasterboarding. Part of me wants to avoid the grey as although I love a rich grey, the rest of my house is off black by F&B so very dark and moody. In the tiles in a small room it might be a bit drab? I'm also struggling to find patterned tiles that I could put all over the bath wall and bath that wouldn't be too much ie too large a pattern or too small. I would then have to have maybe a wood effect (vinyl or tile) on the floor as I think pattern on the floor and bath panel and large wall might be too much? You don't see the bath wall when you walk in as the door opens to the left and hides it. Trying to find some industrial glam images of alternative options as I'm a bit stuck in a rut with it and my bathroom fitting team is a bit old school so not up on design! haha...See MoreDenise Herald
