This project really did become a labour of love. Turns out tiling is tough. Pay the professionals.
As ever, the walls were painted in Dulux’s Polished Pebble and I used the same tiles as in the kitchen (B&Q’s Underground Tiles now at £18/m2 but got for £10/m2 in the Bank Holiday sales!)
Other bits and pieces
Le Sac En Papier: it’s holding the loo rolls and, to be honest, some of the poor finishing on my tiling! I got mine on notonthehighstreet.com but it is also available at Boudie & Fou which is generally just a beautiful website!
The Leather Strap mirror: from John Lewis for £60. It is heavy so you need a pretty substantial fixing!
The London and New York underground prints are from a Swedish poster company called Kreativitum and I purchased via the Scandinavian Design Center which is a great website with lots of lovely things on it!
The lampshade matches the ones we have in the hallway and is from B&Q for £27 here the lightbulbs are from Amazon and are squirrel cage lightbulbs- just search for “Edison bulbs” and you’ll find a selection!
Once again, an IKEA picture shelf comes in handy! £7 and just the right depth for bottle of potions in a bathroom!
Finally, the cosmetics in the loo
Air freshener is Paddy Wax Room Spray in Tobacco and Patchouli. I got mine from Urban Outfitters but a quick google search shows that they are now selling it on Ocado here– not the exact scent I like, but all the Paddy Wax stuff is good!
Soap is from the Natural Spa Factory, a company in Bath and is Fig and Vanilla. I hadn’t heard of the company before but on a stop at Gloucester Services (seriously…go there. It is the best services ever. There is a farm shop…) I saw it and purchased it. You can also buy it direct from them online here
Finally, the hand cream. I discovered this stuff in a restaurant in Chicago. Every time I went there I would have to go and wash my hands, just for the hand cream (and then smush my hands in the faces of my friends, so they could smell how good this stuff was). Well, here’s the thing. Turns out, the beautiful hand cream was from Babington House, Somerset. I am from Gloucestershire. I just didn’t know! The handcream I have is the herb one and you can buy it here.
