We (my family and I) have just moved into a lovely new home, but it is not 'new' new, it's an old Federation, and I just love it. What I don't love though, is the bathroom. Someone in their infinite wisdom, decided in a renovation not so long ago, to change the entry into the bathroom from originally coming in from the dining room, to now entering from the hallway, so that you can see the toilet straight down the hall from the front door! whatever possessed them to think that that was a good idea, I will never know. So I am yet to come up with a plan to combat that problem, but my other major hate is the colour.
I'm so sorry if I offend anyone that loves maroon and cream country style bathrooms, but I can't stand it. There's too much maroon, too much cream and way too much gold in this bathroom for me. My only plan so far to update the bathroom without a major renovation is to lay black & white lino over the tiles on the floor, like the photo below, and paint the wall tiles white. I'd then have to change the gold taps etc over to silver, but at least I'd have something i like looking at each day. We have a roll top bath, but unfortunately it is plastic, not cast iron, and maroon & cream in colour as well....blah!
Black & White Lino for the floor
Our tiles go halfway up the wall like this one below, and I've always wanted black walls
These lovelies below would replace the hideous gold ones we currently have
