Bathroom wasn’t on the list to do first but thin Bathroom wasn’t on the list to do first but things happened and we ended up knocking a few walls down, completely re-designing the bathroom and changing the layout.. I must say this bathroom is actually better than the original one we had designed … tiler is coming in next week with the plumber in straight after .. 2 weeks and hopefully we can move back in and have a completely renovated bathroom - dream bath and all 🛁 [probably minus the doors as I still need to strip those] .. sanding and sealing the beam and sorting out the vanity this weekend !! Swipe to see the progress !! IOM folk if you need a great plasterer let me know or find Neil at NK Plastering has done an amazing job 👍🏼

Also how did anyone live with this radiator? I may have to take it off the grid as it’s giving me heart palpitations 😂 #notlevel
