En-Suite Prep & Reveal

The en-suite was pretty dated and looking very sad, so this was the next job to get done.  We had a gorgeous blue toilet and sink and dark tinted glass broken sliding shower doors!!! 

The ceiling was covered in mould and grime so I sugar soaped and sanded it down, ready for Dave to paint it for me down the track.  My neck can't cope with painting ceilings!

Before with mould 

ceiling after I cleaned it up!

The next task was to remove the wallpaper.  This was a bit of a mission!

After removing the wallpaper I sanded the walls ready for painting, however they were in such bad condition we had to get them plastered ready for painting.

Next job was to remove the shower door frame ready for the new one to be installed.  I didn't think I was going to be able to do this, but I did!!! Grit and determination!!!

The plumber then turned up and removed the toilet and vanity unit for me.  Behind the toilet cistern and vanity unit we found a second layer of wallpaper, surprise... surprise!! So yes, you've got it, more wallpaper removal!

The new shower doors are much nicer than the old dark brown ones eh!

Next job was to remove the existing lino, this wasn't too difficult because the moisture in the room had helped lift the glue!!

The plaster has been and done his magic.  The new flooring has been laid.

Looking good now don't you think.... new flooring is a Kardean product... Knight Tile and colour is Rona. The toilet is an Adesso Mila Classic Back inlet Toilet suite and the vanity is Sapphire Mini Cabinet Basin by Englefield.

Just need to get a heated towel rail, hooks, maybe a hanging shelf and a splash back tile installed above the sink, then its all finished!

There were only certain types of toilets we could purchase too, due to the distance from the wall to the centre of the hole in the floor. Because of this we had to get pan connector for the toilet to work. So before you go purchasing a toilet when renovating be sure to double check with your plumber first what you can purchase, as you may be disappointed when you can't have what you want!!
