I guess I must be terribly out of style, because I actually like the bathroom before, though clawfoot tubs are amazing!

Totally agree – the floors are simply stunning and the bathroom well all I can say is lucky you getting to enjoy it all every day

Hello, the floors are silky oak timber which is the same as our timber internal doors.

We don’t wash them with anything but water and a chemical free mop! With a long haired dog it feels like we are forever washing them!!

Alischa,
It looks awesome!
You must have had so much fun and seeing the completed results make all the blood, sweat and tears (and cars crashing through your house) worth it.
I feel inspired, pity I don’t have a property here in Bris. to get my hands on.
Awesome effort with the bathroom configuration.
What type of hardwood are the floors? They look beautiful!
MEL :-)

Thankyou for your lovely post Grace! It sure has been a labour of love on a massively tight budget!!!

We were so fortunate with the floors as they polished up gorgeously… for a while I wanted to paint them white!! Luckily my husband talked me out of that one…

I have just uploaded another post about the building of fretwork and timber work within our house. I hope you all enjoy!
