Finally have my own home, a home to start from scratch with…the bathrooms are mostly complete so wanted to show them off.
just need to paint the main bathroom and change the light fittings 🥰

That looks just lovely. It's great when all the prep and planning works out and you're left with exactly what you wanted.

Big congrats! I've been hoping to do my bathroom up for like nearly 10years 🤣
Give us a back story, a bit about your journey 😃

Lovely! Congratulations x

Congratulations! I love the neutral and calming look of the bathrooms. I hope you enjoy them for a long time!

EnjoythemoneyJane · 16/07/2025 19:30

Aaah, enjoy your lovely home, OP. Having a place of your own feels amazing, doesn’t it? x

Appalonia · 16/07/2025 19:34

Good for you! I rented in London for years as I could never afford to buy. The feeling of insecurity was horrible. I now live somewhere much cheaper and living somewhere that's mine is such a relief. Enjoy your new home IP😁

Congrats. Having your own home is one of the most important milestones in life 👏

Congratulations, I’m very happy for you too, it’s such a wonderful feeling!

Congratulations and well done. It’s not showing off, if you can’t celebrate such a great milestone it would be a very sad world.
your bathroom looks lovely

proximalhumerous · 16/07/2025 19:54

NotrialNodeal · 16/07/2025 19:55
