Shabby Bathroom Revamp

Meyndert Borrie Bornman
by Meyndert Borrie Bornman
Shabby bathroom with 200mm step down into it, and door area taking space out of very small kitchen renewal.
Side board bought 37 years ago without drawers painted and ready to be used as vanity.
Old door bricked up and plastered and bathroom floor filled in to be level with rest of floors.
Break through in double brick wall with self made door frame and new door fitted. Door opening inwards for toilet privacy.
Vanity and toilet fitted and plumbing in place.
New corner bath and complicated plumbing done. Did not want the expense of re-tilling, had other idea with the plumbing.
Shower area prepared and plumbing and new fittings in place.
76mm x 50mm batten bath rim support assembled onto bendable backing painted and fitted and mirror hung.
Wash basin fitted into vanity and plumbing completed.
Corner antique stand added and wall tiling added.
Shower corner cubicle installed with 200mm extension added. My own design of 3 tier swivel towel rails fitted. Pushed back against wall.
Towel rails swiveled to be next to shower exit for easy reaching while inside shower cubicle.
Towels rails swiveled open for airing and towel drying. In background bath plumbing covered and a pull out hand shower with separate taps for flow control done. Coming soon, drawers and more finishing.

    Thank you @Miriam I I appreciate your insight, lots of push to do it the way my wife wanted it. Made about 20 different drawings and she at the end stayed at the 2nd one where she instructed me on the way she wanted it, not the easiest and quickest one. She did the painting of the Vanity herself.....Her first try at DIY.
