Wow. The block wall looks quite sinister, don't you think?... like a Victorian wash house /prison, wouldn't like it for myself, but the work is amazing, really well done, and amazing attention to detail :thumbsup:

Yeah had a real battle on my hands with this one!

She wanted it tiled floor to ceiling but I convinced her to let me add some paneling - now she loves it

She wanted me to paint the paneling white but I convinced her it would be better with a colour and a Victorian one at that (two weeks of convincing no less!) - Now she loves it

The sink didn't come with brackets so I convinced her it would look better with some scrolls - now she loves it

She wanted black grout, I didn't manage to convince her to go lighter:mad2:, about the only thing she stood her ground on - but she still likes it so it's all good.

This bathroom took some sourcing! I'm now just waiting for the extractor fan which I think will go great with the tiles and had to be jet proof as it's in the shower area, notice the beveled edges to match the tiles:thumbsup:, just hope I can scratch off the logo

lovely job Rob

shame about the grout colour, but if thats their choice , so be it

on the upside it highlights the perfect tiling and makes a feature of the brick effect, so I can see where they are coming from on this, but a lighter coloured would have done the same thing

it also ages the tiling which might of been another thought she was having

the only complaint I have is that its in here instead of jotm
 
fantastic job Rob, you should be very proud of what you and your team produce mate:thumbsup: first-class

Yeah I wanted a grey or even a dark gray, just something that was slightly softer on the eye, her main issue was that it's hard to keep white perfect but I did also say it can work the other way too where black grout can show limescale deposits up

The reason it's not in JOTM is that it's not finished and the tiling that whilst i'm happy with it, it isn't anything special or skilled like some of the natural stone ones can be
 
lovely job!:thumbsup:...has got that 'PSYCHO' vibe going on hasn't it?..if someone starts playing a screechy violin when you're in the shower...run!:death::74:
