A weekends work

So the last bank holiday before Christmas is nearly here....
are you going to be doing any DIY?

I have plans to decorate my bathroom, as my family is away for the weekend. Our paint-work needs a little TLC after four years and the wall mural I put on a few years back is now a bit boring so I'm thinking it is time for a change.

We currently have large white tiles on one wall, with a white bathroom suite, grey flooring and grey slate tiles around our wash basin with chrome fixtures and fittings. We chose this 4 or 5 years ago as our base scheme which we have added to with orange for the first few years. Then we added olive green and orange, but now we want to go for white, grey and yellow and get rid of the orange and green.

I need to get a few elements before the weekend including paint and a new bin and some storage for the bath toys (that seem to multiple every time they touch the water, a bit like the film Gremlins). We also need a new shower curtain and finally I need to print a wall mural for the left-hand wall and some wall stickers for the tiles.

We're fortunate not to have a huge bathroom from a cost point of view, living in a small terrace cottage has it's benefits. However this is also a frustration when I started looking on the web at other peoples bathrooms for inspiration, as we cannot do half the things others have done. Here are some samples of what others have done.


Aside from all the nice painting and decorating stuff I also need to find and fix the small leak that has affected our kitchen ceiling with a nice grey patch...joy!

I hope you get all your jobs done this weekend, big or small and for those of you doing nothing enjoy it :)
