Thank you! There is a utility space just behind the seating where the cover is stored.

Which style of bath tub do you prefer? Free standing or in a deck?

You can use side panels or a deck/surround to create what is, in effect, a free standing bath that would work well aesthetically and, optionally, as part of a wetroom-style bathroom. Deep soaking tubs are especially effective for such projects; they have smaller footprint, which affords more room in the shower area, but their greater depth makes them exceptionally comfortable.

Well, the chippies van was up the drive when I got home from work - a little unexpected. At first I thought that he was sleeping with the Mrs, but then I remembered that he needed to finish the skirting boards. He's done a cracking job - quite a few tricky internal/external corners, plus the corners not being exactly 90 degrees he was back and forth to his saw all the time. He really did a stirling job. It was 13 meters of skirting in total - which took him 4.5 hours in total (over 2 evenings) and it cost me £90. Considering I was origionally going to do it, it could well be the best £90 I've spent on this whole kitchen. I need to get a lick of paint inside the alcove that's pictured. Our little fishtank will be returning in there, but as it's out I may as well do it. When we get the bar stools, and dining room table & chairs I will update again. So: What would I change/add/remove ADD - Somewhere to hang the tea-towels. We have some on the inside of a cuboard, but they keep falling off. Maybe I need some slightly more expensive 'hangers'. The space where they could have gone we put a spice rack/draw thingie - that's probably better though. ADD - We forgot about the bin! Now we have our pedal-bin basically kicking around the kitchen. The Mrs has already filled the cupboards to maximum capacity so I'm having trouble getting an internal cupboard one past her. I think I may just fit one then deal with her later. The bin has gravitated to a semi-perminant place, but with the kids trying to be *cough* helpfull the wall is already beginning to get the odd splatter of 'stuff' where they just throw their food in the general direction of it. Last night I said 'Well, why don't we just put it in the utility room' - She shot that idea down instantly as she obviously isn't happy about the extra 4 steps that it would take to walk all-that-way into another room. Poor thing! Typical woman lol. ADD - At the start of the project I would have got the electricians to chase in another mains wire from the fusebox so that it comes out of the kitchen wall centrally to the back garden, then I would put a PIR Security Light in. I know that it's not a big job by any means, and I could, and probably will, do it myself over the coming weeks but if I could have had it without a wire on the outside of the house then that'd would have been perfect. Also, thinking about it, I would have actually got him to do it at the front of the house as well as he re-wired the whole downstairs with new fusebox etc.

avocado Shower room: hot or not
Q

Hello Moiraford, Well it does look rather pale for an Avocado suite.. I have to say I am not opposed to the idea BUT....... It has to be very cool and by that I mean sooooper stylish! You have to really embrace the look! So consider the following suggestions... Add a fabulous flooring that compliments not contrasts the colour, tiles are good or a quartzed green laminate would be good.... Remove any plasticy objects that are not fabulous.. Perhaps replace the wooden elements like the loo seat for an avocado seat. Replace the wooden shelf and consider having something built and tiled to create a ledge above the sink height. Something larger in length and more useful. It might be fantastic to add more Avocado tiles or something darker than current (but it might be the image).. and also paint, a darker richer Olive green to give contrast and interest on any available wall space or if you prefer a lighter version of the Avocado.. There are a lot of ways to deal with this bathroom but darker tiles (if they are not the same as loo/sink) and darker (green) flooring would definitely be good I feel. I also think you could perhaps look at the taps.. Nickel would be a nice colour to go with the green rather than chrome.. I also think glass knobs would be fantastic.. I'll see if I can find an image and I'll add something here.. For mirrors and cabinetry.. I rather like concealed storage and painted or tiled perhaps to match the scheme.... See if you could work this in . An avocado shower tray would also be a good idea.. you get the idea.. A plain mirror would also look better and you could cover more space for light and interest.. Try using green grout and paint the skirting to compliment the flooring.. You can also paint the door to blend with the scheme too... Lastly it would not be an Avocado bathroom without a dark olive green shag rug bathmat. Also don't be afraid to look from the 50's onwards when Avocado and Mint greens were also really popular.. Another thing you can do is add some flash and vibrant wallpaper if you like.. Also consider some faux palm leaves or fronds with large dark leaves... Lastly be very watchful of sealants and other seals... They should ideally be invisible and of a seamless finish.. : )) This one is missing an avocado seat which really would be better.. Taps (Deck mounted version) of something similar.. It's the glass I'm focusing on here) Faux foliage (if real is not ideal!)

Finding a circular japanese soaking tub
Q
Comments (64)
OK, I have decided that I want one of these, but outside the house, for an outdor spa experience (we have a totally secluded and leafy garden, so I'm not worried about the neighbours. I already have hot and cold feeds outside, and drainage should be pretty easy. But I think concrete has to be the material for the tub, for durability, and it will need a cover. Anyone have any links?
