Quick bathroom make over.

Nothing says 1920's homestead like a plastic 80's spa bath that doesn't even go! Despite the wood paneling and plastic tiles we decided it had to go.

So while guests weren't looking we investigated under the bath and found mostly original wood with minimal damage from the numerous incarnations of this bathroom, judging by the amount of paint on the walls. We even found marks on the floor boards where an original claw foot bath had been.

Before and during work.

We pulled out the bath which was recycled by a friend into a herb garden, and we prepared the walls and floor. This was the hardest part as the glue from the tiles was a good hard 80's one, and Deans hard task was to squeeze himself under the house to reattach plumbing. We kept it simple by just moving the sink and bath but using the same water pipes. The second hand claw foot bath was still the black factory setting colour which I painted with cream to match the sink. I'm now considering adding some colour.

Not bad for a few days work.
