No More Tiling...Yay!

Finally, finally we have finished the bloody tiling of the bathroom! Good god I have never known a job take so long!
I still have one small patch to grout but 99% is finished and ready for the Bathroomy bits to go in at last. So yesterday we got up early and made a start re fitting the sink which has spend months living on our kitchen floor and getting in everyones ways. 

It took a while to get all the holes lined up and drilling through tiles is always a nerve racking business but the clever boy managed it beautifully!

I think it looks amazing, am also so pleased with the Bristan 1901 taps (£10 off eBay!) which go with the sink so well. Of course once that was on we where on a roll so we fitting the vintage ceramic bathroom shelf which we cheekily brought with us from our last house.

Then I dug out the mirror I brought in 2011, this is a 50s mirror that would have originally been attached to a coloured backplate with a shelf and cup holder. We brought the mirror for £1 and it has been squirrelled away since then just waiting for the  bathroom to be finished.

I loved the squared off edges which match the sink and shelf perfectly and also the spotting around the edges, I know this puts a lot of people off (and was no doubt why it ended up at a bootsale for a £1 in the first place) but I have always liked old worn mirrors and I think it adds some nice texture to an otherwise new looking bathroom...

...it also works well next to the old outdoor swan necked lamp (another bootsale find).

We still have a lot of work left to do, I am hoping Rich can get the shower fitted next week and possible the radiator if we have time (and he doesn't get any more art jobs in), we also need to build a bath panel, paint the ceiling and lino the floor so plenty to keeps us busy! But at least I feel like we are on the home stretch now.

Its just so nice to be able to brush my teeth in the bathroom instead of over the kitchen sink!
