Do it yourself mama


We've recently moved house, and although we have lots of space for mini pip to run riot, there's quite a lot to do to get it looking spot on. Among the many interesting 'details' left to us by the previous owners was the rather hideous bathroom. A sink shaped like a clam shell, tiling done so badly its funny and a disconnected bath over flow pipe, only discovered when i stepped into a puddle of bathwater one evening in the hallway below...
It'll be a good 12 months before we can replace the whole lot, so for the time being we are trying to make it a bit more livable on a small budget. So out went the nasty wire rack and wee sodden lino (bleurgh...) and in went a couple of simple cabinets and some new grey vinyl tiles. Nothing fancy, but it's kept things neutral and feels much cleaner. I was rather pleased with my tiling effort-granted self adhesive tiles aren't rocket science, but still! Now I just need to hit up ikea for some grey towels and bath mat and it'll be almost bearable until we can rip the whole thing out and start again!
