Thank you darling Caro :) that's such a huge compliment <3 Yes, it was the mirror that started everything off. <3

On the subject of photos, can you share one that shows your WC and where it is more clearly?

ED you just wanted to see my bin and toilet brush didn’t you?? 🤣🤣 ......and my bright green cleaning cloth poking out *rolls eyes*

Just gorgeous Monica. Amazed at it all but the resin worktop is fantastic.

Thank you Jules :)

Minnie. we were very lucky. A week before it happened we put s discreet track on the ceiling to allow me to hang some simple panels to deal with the beaming sun. The part of the toilet failed and water started leaking and found its way out virtually straight away through one of the drilled holes. We turned the water off immediately and that was that :) there isn't even a mark on that ceiling. Very lucky :) Oh NOO your beautiful wallpaper is going :( Still your new plans for it sound fab and I look forward to seeing them. Currently our bedroom is stripped up and awaiting its fresh coat of plaster unless I go all out for a grasscloth wallpaper. I just took delivery of some gorge fabric for our headboard, I went for the yummy large scale toile from Lewis and Wood called Royal Oak in the spring colour way. We found lockdown DULL with a capital D but wow tried to keep busy. the spending is out of control mind lol

Even the wc is cleverly and stylishly fitted. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Now, about your bin... 🤣

HAHAHAHAAAA, its the old one we've had ED, and Iit was the one thing I wasn't going to change. Remember, you was never meant to see it ... well I tried to keep it under wraps LOL

The only thing that doesn't work is the position of the toilet roll, you have to contort your arm to actually retrieve some.. but its a small price to pay so I am sucking it up.

That is so much better. Looks lovely.

Love it, looks so stylish! What an amazing transformation, and very impressed with the resin worktop.

How heat resistant is the resin Monica?

Thank you so much Daisy and Laura :) . Victoria apparently its extremely resilient, can handle pots straight from the hob with no problem. Can be polished to a honed finish as well which I will attempt next for our bathroom reno. I realised that's what all the Quartz probably is. Resin mixed with stone dust, veins added before it gets polished up. I'm wondering if I could buy some stone dust now hahahaaaa

Well done ceiling track! That could have been very messy ☹️

I haven’t spotted that fabric by them but I do like their Adam’s Eden wallpaper, it’s going to look gorgeous! Is yours a Corbeilles bed too? Your house is going to be very worthy of a Houzz tour soon 😊

I think it’s just the drinking out of control in our house 😂

Yeah very lucky and I am not mentioning booze or lockdown. No the Corbeille is only a double and is in our smallest guest room. Master was the first room we started on, I was desperate for some mirror foiled wallpaper at the time (very quickly realised it just wasn't me) Then we changed all the windows and the reveals got damaged so we knew it would all need re doing. Well the en suite made it look is ready for that makeover, so I am cracking on with that next (using up all the money we saved for the garden which we couldn't start due to Covid). The headboard is a DIY we did 22 years ago, started like as a tall square shape then we re shaped it about 10 years. The yellow corduroy was a £3 remnant which was going to be reupholstered to go with the new foiled wallpaper and it never happened. I m excited to see it with this gorgeous fabric and yes Minnie I love the pomegranate and Adam's Eden too. Here's the pics, pic1. current situation, pic 2. the fabric over the headboard, pic 3. desperate to use that grasscloth look wallpaper that I already have but not sure if a little too samey green, pic4. and the fabric against a darker grey.

Any updates from the latest lockdown ? What have you been up to ??

Aww my darling Karen, we have been so busy indeed. Our master bedroom is nearly all finished apart from a few soft furnishing projects like the tailored bed skirt, and me finishing off the pleated lampshades. Oh and some egg nests prints to be hung. I am so happy with how it turned out and it matches the en suite well. How are you my darling?

It's absolutely gorgeous, Monica

Thank you my sweet girl, I will take a better picture at some point so you can see it better. And the last two bedrooms have been ripped out ready for us to turn them over 😊

Ahhhh that looks so wonderful!!!
Still keeping busy and managing to avoid catching ‘you know what’ so far - touch wood ?!

Aw, Monica!

I remember you doing the brass upholstery tacks on the bedside chest in the top pic!!! Six years ago? More? We really had a hilarious and funny old season of group chat back then...!

You seem to have really grown in confidence and your new look is very accomplished!

Lovely to see this posting! Wishing you all the best! xx

Looks amazing! Wish I found it so easy to design a room 🤣

So do we Tani 🤣🤣🤣

Ha, Tami it has never happened before and I doubt it will ever happen again, I am nearly 6 months in with our bedroom and I've still not nailed everything.

Aww @Ro Ro how wonderful to hear from you, yes you are right it has been 6 years, WOW !! How are you doing with that beautiful home of yours?

@OnePlan aww Karen, I have answered this already but goodness knows where it went. Yes, both safe and staying out of it all a little longer, its been the mother of all years hasn't it?? Hope you are both safe too darling <3

So far so good - I’m up early rendering this weeks projects - no rest for the wicked !!

Hi, I just want to say that it's amazing. It looks like Pinterest photos, how did you do that? I like the colors you choose and how they match. I like your mirror, where did you get it?

Gosh Karen you was up VERY EARLY !!! Glad to hear you are seeing busy and out of mischief though LOL

@Holly Grand thank you, the mirror was from a company called @the.farthing.co.uk

Monica please can you provide some details about how you did the resin top? It looks lovely!!

Lauren, there are 1000's of tutorials online. Just do a simple google search on youtube then binge a ton of videos until you find one you like the look of, and follow that.

Great transformation!

Thank you so much @Expand & Build Ltd

Can I be really stupid and ask - what is the yellowy oval thing above the taps?

@yvonnegw its a very convenient hand soap on a clever stand which means there s no soggy soap bottoms on the soap dish. Lasts for ages too. Its by a French company called Provendi but there's a few fake a like options out there as well that are just as good. The French refill soap is divine though, definitely get that :)

@Monica Thanks. I did think that but good to have it confirmed. I will look into that - what a great idea!

Pleasure, it's fantastic, and everyone that saw it bought one as a result. Much more environmentally friendly albeit not as posh looking <3

Oh my this is just fabulous....think I’ll nab it for my ensuite. Just kidding, I’d never be able to do something like this!!

@User Thank you so much Sally, how kind of you to say <3

Either I missed this or Covid has addled my brain. This is so stunning, you are very clever!

@Juliet Docherty thank you so much lovely, but I was dead sure you messaged at the time of me posting these pictures <3

I probably did but having just seen them again it all felt so new. Every day is the same at the moment so not surprised I am losing it!

Oh goodness me isn't it just??? I am just grateful you still love it the second time round *mwah* <3

Ha, my grandma used to have one of those metal soap rollers in her loo!

I’m pretty sure it had yellow soap on it too.

Hadn‘t noticed it before, Monica, possibly because it -unconsciously- looked ‘normal’ to me. 😊

Everything comes back round eventually doesn’t it? We are total converts 😝

Well done. It’s lovely.

Thank you so much @J W

Love the whole room but special mark for the soap!!!
I am french and I grow up with soaps like that - all the toilet sinks in my primary school were fitted with one :) So many memories! Thx

@C D how wonderful. Thank you for your sweet words :)

@Shirley Hayden Thank you so much. :)
