It used to make my heart sink – but not anymore!

A bit about me
Hi, I’m Rose Gledhill, and I live in a onebedroomed Victorian conversion flat in North London. I’ve been here since March 2015.
Before
My problem bathroom
The whole look of the bathroom was in a timewarp, and the shiny tiles were really slippery and unsafe. The shower seemed to be ancient, and was barely working; it never provided enough water for a full shower, it could only ever manage a few tepid drops, so it had to go.
How I made it work
I lightened the room with fresh white tiles and a brand new suite. I also invested in a decent shower and enclosure. I finished the room with compact sanitaryware, and added personality with cute coastalthemed towels and trinkets.
