We're at the very beginning stages of planning for a new bathroom. We've owned our house for just over 3 years and are slowly renovating it room by room. So far we have completed our bedroom, Little Owl's room and our living room. Our dining room is a work in progress, with an aimed completion date of Christmas 2015. We are also hoping that our bathroom might be completed by then too. To be honest its a bit of a dream, I don't dare to believe it could happen.
We started by sketching out the bathroom with all the details on like the window, doors (plural), alcoves etc so we could measure and record them. This is by no way to scale!
So our bathroom is currently two rooms, our current bathroom has a bath and a sink and not enough room to swing a cat, not even little Bonnie. Originally it would have been one room, I suspect the maid's room.
Have you spotted the unique feature? Yes, we have a door to the garden from our first floor bathroom! What's more, you still have to go up steps to reach it!
The plan is to open this back up to one room, and probably remove the chimney breast to allow us more room for storage, and some wall space for radiators.
We hope to fit in a bath, separate shower, toilet, sink, and off course a shoe rack for our garden clogs!

What a lovely idea - a door to the garden from the bathroom! Can't wait to see how it turns out :) Thanks for linking up #loveyourhome
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll be posting bits as we go along!
Deletewow love the sound of a nice big bathroom and with a door to the garden - how luxurious! x
ReplyDeleteIt does sound great - the reality is no where near there at the moment but hopefully we'll get there!
DeleteFab idea! And it looks like you're going to get a lot more room too hooray! When we reonvated our bathroom we managed to reduce the costs by finding what we wanted for the suite, and then going directly to trade sites or eBay. You never know, might be able to get it done quicker than you planned! :) xx
ReplyDeleteWe've spotted a few bits we like in sales but our trusted plumber advised caution saying that if we buy too early and then something is wrong, its often too late to get replacement parts. However he has offered to sell us stuff at trade prices so think we'll be ok!
