Small Update of the Small Bathroom

The mood.

Finally summer is here. Means, my Owners can do bathroom reno because, according to Lady Owner, she can just shower outside in the backyard in bikinis while the bathroom is being renovated (her husband prefers to rent a temporary shower box).

It will unfortunately only happen late in September and god knows what kind of weather we will have here in the Netherlands. But, weather-worry asides, Owners had signed with Sanidirect, that did their previous bathroom. This came after the first bathroom company that Lady Owner talked to, apparently wanted to charge 20k for an itsy bitsy bathroom, so LO had to find an alternative. Not that this second company is way cheaper, but at least somewhat cheaper. Bathroom is an expensive business, folks.

Anyway, here is the current situation:

I can only guess that my former Owners wanted to turn me into some sort of Greek villa. With their own interpretation.

Some problems with this current set up are: the sink area is massive but literally has no storage, no existing lighting on the ceiling, claustrophobic shower area, inexplicable floor moment.

To tackle this, originally Lady Owner wanted to change the layout but apparently, technically speaking, it is absolutely not possible. Meanwhile here is the original moodboard she came up with:

however, this moodboard cannot be done, either, due to this and that. Grrr. Companies insisted my bathroom walls have to be tiled entirely to the ceiling to prevent leaking. I call that nonsense. But my Owners decided to just agree with them.

In the end, as you can see on the first picture, Lady Owner went with bright blue herringbone tiles on one wall, terrazzo tiles on the floor and toilet area, simple white tiles everywhere else, and brass hardwares. Her bathroom consultant insisted the company would take a picture for their promotion after it is done, because Lady Owner had made such a beautiful and bold choice, while usually others choose a safe route of grey everything. I call that marketing nonsense.

But we shall see!
