Exactly a week to go until the bathroom guys start work and excitement is mounting. I ordered the tiles last week and there's a slight worry that they won't arrive on time. The guy who owns the tile shop had used half his supply to tile his accountant's bathroom so he had to import more to meet our order. They're due to arrive on the 22nd, which I'm hoping will be OK because with work not starting until the 19th I expect the first few days will be taken up with stripping out, moving walls, plastering and first fix. I'm not expecting any tiling to start until the second week, in which case we're covered.
This is our new bathroom sink and pedestal, courtesy of Imperial. It's the Westminster range and after a lot of searching and discussion was pretty much the only design we both liked. We chose it quite early on in the process and were then put off by the fact that the actual basin is quite a lot smaller than the unit - there's a wide "shelf" on each side. So we went around the loop again rechecking all the brochures and websites and did at one point choose something different, but after a few days we'd both independently gone off that second choice and came back to this. I particularly like the shape of the pedestal.
The loo mirrors the pedestal and has an interesting shape to the bowl and seat which is quite quirky. We saw the suite in the flesh at
Housing Units when we went for a look round last time Phil & Vicky came to stay and it looks even better IRL than online. Right now I'm waiting for a call back from the bathroom guy to confirm the start date and arrange to pay the balance of the labour and materials charges. Then we're all set. Woohoo!
