I saw something nasty in the woodshed....splish splash!

Well...not any more you didn't, Aunt Ada !! ;-)

***
Apart from a few finishing touches (painting the door frame, adding a few new towels etc) our new bathroom is just about complete!

Normally a decisive person, I must have gone through the paint charts and fabrics so many times, dithering... and driving Mr Snippets crazy in the process!

A big thanks to him ! ;-)

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would choose yellow..as yellow is my least fave colour!
However, Farrow and Ball 'Hound Lemon' and 'Pale Hound' are not exactly your normal 'run of the mill' yellows..and I am pleasantly surprised at the result.

In fact... I am 'chuffed to little mint balls' !

And so here follows a few photos of prettiness...

but not before I say a huge thanks to Pete Wills, the craftsman to whom we are so grateful .. he gave us such class workmanship, thoughtfulness and care throughout... and a lot of laughs!
(and he patiently put up with me for three weeks!)

This needs saying, as no doubt everyone will look at the bathroom and swoon at the fripperies til the cows come home...but underneath all of that is the real work, the toil and the expertise.

Pete, you are a star!

I could not decide on fabric for the curtains..I'm a fabricaholic and initially purchased some Philip Jacobs Delphinium fabric..but it just didn't work with the paint colour.

Looking through my own stash, I came across the perfect match!

I knew then that I could pick out any of these colours...and so having discarded all the pink things from the previous bathroom....I got them all out again!!!LOL

These Zinnias,which were a present from my dear OH, a few years ago..an impulse buy in Topsham, I recall.

The towel ladder from Liz at Pretty Practicals.

This girl has been in every bathroom that I have ever owned, I think!

I wanted a mix of old and new..and here is one that I didn't cut up!

And then...

The bath mat saga!

As you can see, I have ended up with two bath mats.... the story being that the first one arrived ( from John Lewis ) damaged on the underside!
They told me to 'bin it' .....''BIN IT?'...so I mended it! ;-)



A touch or two of CK in the corner!


Naturally, magazines are a 'must' in the bathroom!

I've had this lovely magazine rack for years.

Dallas Simpson is the artist famous for many of those 'wide eyed' children pics.

Little flashes of colour!

And finally...this gap above the sink is waiting for a mirror...as yet to be decided..so any ideas would be greatly appreciated ! I'm open minded... but again I am dithering!

And just in case you didn't see it as it once was...

I do think that from now on, I'll enjoy my bath times, don't you?

Splish splash! ;-)
