Renovation Reveal: The Ensuite

For those who are new here, you may not realise we undertook a major home renovation last year - you can read all those posts here if you like. And those who have been reading for a while may have even forgotten we did that, given it's been so long between completed rooms.

Two rooms have been finished so far: the bathroom and Abbey's bedroom. Since then we've been painting, furniture shopping and, at times, ignoring the incomplete rooms and pretending they're either done or don't exist. It's all down to little things now - a mirror here, a wall hanging there, a new piece of furniture in that room, a little more paint on that bit - before I reveal the rest of the rooms.

Anyway. I'm very pleased to say that once again we have a working ensuite! This was not part of the extension; it's an existing room that we redid. Here's the before:


The space was a poky walk-through wardrobe and a tiny ensuite off that (excuse the mess in the photo!). We decided that if we're to have an ensuite we might as well make it worthwhile - so we built a new wardrobe elsewhere and used this entire space as one big ensuite.

Here's how it looks now:

Done!

Oh wow - looks awesome. We've been renovating too. We've still got the bathroom, laundry and ensuit to go. Can't wait to my bathrooms look this good :)

Very nice!
Just about to embark on an ensuite makeover.
From nightmare material to dream bathroom I hope. Well, within reason. Mould free will be a great start.
You guys did a top job there.
:-)

Oh it is beautiful! I love your shower. I hope you will show more of how you have settled into your newly renovated house.

I can't wait for mine to be finished so I can move back home! I'm going opposite to you and I have chosen square fittings.

Love the feature tiles and the view from the shower (and the basin and the shower head). Basically, I just have en suite envy.

I would love to renovate our bathrooms. I'd love to renovate most of our house. I'm waiting for there to be enough money so that I can pay someone else to do it while I'm away on a relaxing extended holiday (renovations completed minus the stress). :-)
