Am I just being snooty or does the result look the same as the "before"

Takes you to a sequence shot of "before and after" bathroom project.

When I followed the work I couldnt decide if the after was any better than the before.....

Is it just me!

see wot you mean...personally I wouldnt hav bothered. Hardly improvement. How does the saying go?.."out with the old in with old again" or something like that!

haha yes I like that one.. "Out with the old..... IN with the old...."

Now if I had seen after-shots looking like this... Well

Then I could see the reason for the gut and strip. Maybe the look is too European.

It does say "renovating the retro house" perhaps that's what they mean.

lol​

I can see there's quite a bit of work been done though, and the craftsmanship can't be faulted from what I can see. A couple of out of line grout joints or poor picture re-sizing, they've used one of those tile hole covers (chrome though) behind the loo and not a 365drills hole that's seamless may I add?

Can you imagine wee'ing on a plate? lol I'm not sure I'd like to use that when I've had a few. And I wouldn't want to wonder where the number two's go. :joker:
