For my parents, #theparentalpad bathroom is a need-to-have renovation. The shub shower is redundant and even when it’s sparkling clean, it feels worn and tired. They are also planning with the future in mind, so their new bathroom needs to be more accessible and easier to clean. I took a refined approach to the bathroom design, wanting to create a clean aesthetic focusing on the essentials and enhancing the limited floor space we had to work with. Discover our final bathroom room reveal and what products we used in our Bathroom Reveal Blog.

Bathroom Reno Recap | Charmer in Alexandra

This bathroom renovation has taken us by surprise, we haven’t made any major changes and yet the reno recap says it all! We didn't have budget to make any big changes, we had to work with what we had and embrace the existing farmhouse style. It meant hours of hunting down the right products to add and giving everything a good clean and a new coat of paint.

The Rookies Bathroom Project Reveal | The Reno Race

The Reno Race Rookies, Dan and Claire inherited a bathroom that was designed for the previous owner (a lovely lady in her nineties). A while the bathroom may have been perfect for her - it wasn't exactly what they had in mind. The bathroom makeover was biggest renovation project the rookies took on, as they changed the whole layout of the space, removed walls and floors and essentially re-built the whole area.

Bathroom Project Reveal | Relocatable Reno

I have come to appreciate the simplicity of a small bathroom space and see the true potential of what a small space can hold. Being a small sized individual myself – I am an advocator for the fact big things come in small packages.

Bathroom Renovation - Bringing it all Together

Pushing our design and colour scheme ideas is an exciting way to renovate, we had to chose different elements for the bathroom without visually seeing it all together till the end result. At times it feels like guess work, making decisions from lying out one tile sample, looking at colour swatches and viewing products in a showroom. To see it all come together well - you have to do your best to imagine the end result, considering how each product will work in the space and finally, just back yourself and go with your gut.

Bathroom and Laundry Renovation

When your builder calls you to let you know he has 1.5 days free next week (when he is fully booked for months), and you are due to have your second child in a few weeks, there is only one answer to give – (or at least that was Alice’s thought) – let’s renovate the bathroom.
