has been completed and walls plastered - 1st fix electrics has been done - oh and by the way I came across a company 'Eclisse' <www.eclisse.co.uk> the product made in Italy - they have supplied me with a sliding door into the bathroom (quite excited about this) using satin glass (10mm thick) with minimal profile/architrave and the handle is set in the glass, I have to say Eclisse are very efficient - the door and frame was ordered on Friday- the frame was delivered yesterday and the actual door will be delivered in 4 weeks as and when required (keeping the door off site until building work has been completed this will then slot into place)
I will use the floor tiles for the walls as well these have been ordered + underfloor electric heating pads independently controlled from the central heating the tiles are black/greyish ceramic with a distressed steel vein through it - not the most expensive but could look rather striking next to the white shower tray, loo and sink - supplied and purchased from Bramhall Bathrooms (plumb-base) KOHLER Rêve collection - I suppose their slightly mid/up range - but love it... and Simon the manager of the showroom was more than helpful.
I am changing the bathroom window although using UPVC (not my favourite) this will be more uptodate frame simple profile a centre mullion opening outwards and satin glass finish to match the sliding door 'pure and simple' is my motto - I don't want to cover this window with blinds or fabric! the internal ie recessed part of the window will be lined with MDF sprayed pure white (colour not chosen) with a 3/4inch profile projection for the tile to butt up too then I will either find or have made a window box made out of teak which will soften the area using spider plants.
just been up to check on David and he is creating a recessed bookcase as you walk into the room... another large skip has been delivered (hopefully this will be the last one) a collection of rubbish and rubble seem tobe endless.
Choosing lights although expensive my preference is quality now waiting Andrew from iGuzzini love there lights and they last forever.... couple of pictures below how it looked (very dated) and another
picture with a complete removal of everything in site!!!
I will endeavour to keep you posted - making savings - creating a walkin' wardrobe
using IKEA wardrobe frames!!! (should be interesting) and bespoke bits and pieces by David Marsh Furniture < http://www.davidmarshfurniture.co.uk/>
have a nice day....
