Ok so i'lkl try to keep this thread up dated with new pics as the works progress.
Now this bathroom is going to take around 5/6 weeks to complete, that's not because of the size as it's tiny, in fact the room measures 2mx2m but their is a fair amount of bespoke work going in to it that can only built as the works progress, so not a solid 6 weeks work but slowly progressing until it's finished.
The budget was 10K but by the time the works were agreed it has risen to £14k, i've been on the job a few days and that has already risen by another £600 due to a wireless lighting system. The lighting for this room now stands at over 2K alone! In fact it would have been bigger had I not reeled in the customer, I keep showing him stuff which he loves but on some items you need to spend big and on others you can get great quality but not spend the earth
any way here are some before pics
Yesterday I built a ceiling feature with two recessed bays which will house 3 downlighters in each and side firing LEDs, there will be a further 4 angled downlighters in the lowersection of the ceiling, 1 shining down a large piece of coloured glass in the tiling, 1 shining on a glass radiator and 2 shining on the window which i'm replacing the glass for a two way mirror as the new basin will be in the same place as before and traditionally there is no place for a mirror. The idea is that if I can control the light then the window will still allow daylight but then turn in to a mirror when they need to (I hope this works, for my sake:yikes
