1930s bathroom renovation

Hi everyone! Another update on our 1930s bathroom renovation. It's complete and we're very pleased with it.

We didn't go with the conventional freestanding bath this time as shower baths we're just more practical for our lifestyle (and less cleaning!)

Particularly loving the floor tiles in here.

What a lovely, homely transformation. Those LA Mr Jones tiles are gorgeous! We turned our bathroom into a shower room and the total cost was just under £6000 and it’s a tiny room, so I get how your original budget wasn’t enough! I’m in a 1930s house and have the same doors as you, which was nice to see. Well done.

Hi jo. I would try and play on the industriał vibe. Clean the metro tiles and maybe paint the blue tiles and border in grey. Paint all the pipes in copper (Im pretty sure you can do this). Update the taps. If you're on a tight budget and will redo the bathroom at some point, just get cheap ones. They won't last but should last long enough until you refit. If you really hate the floor then go for some wood effect vinyl. Get a statement piece of industriał art/sign to put on the wall. I can't work out, what is the wall covering behind the toilet?? In terms of the shower, do you have a handheld one at present?

Always worth checking with Lasscos, if they don't have any then they may be able to suggest where you can get some, and who may be able to restore the ones you have. They have a few locations so worth going and having a look or at least giving them a call. They will also probably have some other 30s bathroom fixtures. I just love visiting them, dangerous though as I end up buying stuff. http://www.lassco.co.uk/

I'm glad you like the transformation. Truth is I have a really big rectangular face so it's the perfect size for me!

Jonathan, AMB, thank you ever so much for your advice and designs! We had been toying with the idea of pulling the garage forward. Back in the early 2000s, planning permission was rejected for a double garage in the opposite corner of the driveway but a sensible solution would be to come forward next to the neighbouring property, no light issues and should not upset the 'street scene'. I've always been keen on moving the stairs but associated costs have dampened my spirits a little. That saying, in there current guise they are incredibly steep and dangerous for the young and elderly. A new configuration may well improve the landing space/flow on the first floor. I completely agree about the driveway, my initial thought was grasscrete but we'll never have more than two cars... if that. With us eventually getting some gates up, that could be quite an inviting space. I've been watching a lot of house shows and they always mention about being able to see the garden from the front entrance which you have captured in that floor plan. Phases of work is a strong debate and you are not wrong AMB. I guess once we have a final plan, the phase of the works should fall into place. The fireplace was a family heirloom of the previous owner, took it out his grandad's property apparently! In terms of decor, we want to embrace the character of the property with an added modern twist. We are very keen to incorporate a hallway for the very reasons you mentioned. Thanks again for your comments and suggestions, all very useful.
