Rebuilding the back bedroom

The new en suite takes shape

The last post was about the destruction of the bathroom and small back box room.  The last photos were of a demolition site.  Since then a new room has been built with a completely different walls and shape.  Now there is a new double (just) bedroom with and en suite bathroom at the end (not forgetting the new airing cupboard that we have managed to steal some space for).  We are both really pleased with the result and the great news is that it will be ready  for our Christmas visitors.

Its a very small en suite so we have had to spend time planning how it would all fit.  We have chosen a white squarish counter top basin sitting on an oak counter.  For the tiles we have gone for slate and white.  They are both the same height tiles quite narrow but the slate tiles are all different lengths so it give it a bit of a random look.  Its hard to get any good photos as the bathroom is so small. 

G has been working very hard.  Every night after he finishes his day job he is straight to work on the house.  I tend to be more hands on with the purchasing side of things.  Scouring the Internet for deals and bringing home lots of different tile samples.  So many decisions to make and G doesn't like progress to be slowed because of a bit of indecisiveness!

Today we managed to make the final decision on the carpet that we plan to use for the whole of the upstairs a dark charcoal stain resistant and hard wearing.  We have booked it to be fitted in the back bedroom a week on Friday.  That will be an exciting moment and will signal the completion of that room.  Time to get the bed in!  The photos are work completed so far but we will add the finished look once we have the carpet down and the bed in!
