To (smugly) show you my new bathroom that cost £150...

The other day I posted asking for advice about how to revamp my bathroom in my first home (first pic) and I received some really helpful comments, alongside the typical Mumsnet ones that are a) bitchy and b) unhelpful 😁

But, here is the end result! We spent no more than £150 and did it all ourselves! Yay :-)

So the power that was for the over sink light/shaver point is now powering the led mirror - I feel DH may have some more DIY ahead!

Very nice op.

It looks lovely , it’s a nice colour that you’ve put on the walls . I’d just move the bin to somewhere else as it looks a bit squeezed in .

@MrsRobbieHart

What were the bitchy and unhelpful comments on the first thread? Confused
The OP has included some photos of the type of thing she wanted and someone posted “I don’t mean to piss on your chips or anything but the whole grey thing is so over” WinkGrin

No one was bitchy on your last thread Confused

LastGirlSanding · 28/08/2021 17:55

Look fantastic! Nice one Grin

maddiemookins16mum · 28/08/2021 17:57

Really nice, good for you. Did you keep going back and proudly looking through the door for the first day?? I did when I revamped my bedroom many moons ago 😊

Fairyliz · 28/08/2021 17:58

Can I ask where you got your under sink cabinet from and was it easy to fit?
Sadly lacking in diy skills in our household.

MrsRobbieHart · 28/08/2021 17:58

@CallMeRisley I don’t see how that’s bitchy. Or unhelpful. OP was asking for style advice for her bathroom. What you’ve quoted was style advice.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 28/08/2021 18:01

It looks nice. Smile I like the little cupboard under the sink.

Are you going to do the grouting in the bath as well at some point (I see you've done over the sink) or are you leaving it grey?

I just don’t think the OP was asking “shall I make my bathroom grey?” Or “what is on trend for a bathroom right now?” She posted a picture of a grey bathroom and was asking advice for how to get that, like DIY etc. I agree it wasn’t overly bitchy, hence why I included the Wink and Grin emojis, but I think that’s the sort of reply the OP was referring to- unhelpful in terms of what she was actually asking iyswim.

Looks great. Glad to see you have the loo seat down. The loo seat should always be down in my opinion unless in use !

MaMelon · 28/08/2021 18:04

That looks lovely! I posted on your other thread about the type of paint to use snd wondered how you’d got on - well done both of you, it looks fab Smile

BigGooseyLucy · 28/08/2021 18:05

Oooo I love that colour on the walls

MuchTooTired · 28/08/2021 18:06

I remember your other thread. Congratulations, it looks cracking!

Winter2020 · 28/08/2021 18:19

Looks great!

Happymum12345 · 28/08/2021 18:25

That really has made a big difference to a small space. Well done you!

Redsquirrel5 · 28/08/2021 18:25

It looks lovely and I’m not keen on grey.

Wolfiefan · 28/08/2021 18:28

I’m not keen on grey either but I love that! Brilliant job OP.

Sprogonthetyne · 28/08/2021 18:34

Well done. I saw you post last week asking for suggestions, great to see what you've managed.

JaninaDuszejko · 28/08/2021 18:35

Paint and decluttering is fab, we did similar to our bathroom and I love it now.

DumplingsAndStew · 28/08/2021 18:39

Oh that's lovely. What is the paint you've used?

leavesthataregreen · 28/08/2021 18:54

Where's the mirror from? I really like it.

Antinerak · 28/08/2021 19:02

Looks lovely, you should be very proud!

TheyWentToSeaInASieve · 28/08/2021 19:10

Ooh, I really liked the dark grey grout above the sink. I would reinstate. The rest looks lovely. Well done!

bridgetreilly · 28/08/2021 19:14

Don’t you get puddles without the bath mats though? It looks lovely, but I would get a nice new mat.
