I confess – I have been absent from my blog! …all for good reason. We were so busy with the finishing touches on our house, and the snag list (which seems like a forever list) that it has stolen all my precious time that I would have spent decorring (is there such a word?)…
My bathrooms are not tiled, but they have a cement finish done in a colour screed (allmost like cemcrete), but it is done by a company called Cape crete, in the colour bone. Both the walls from top to bottom, showers as well as the floors are done with the same finish. The counters for my basins, are just done in cement, with a plain crete stone finish with freestanding basins on top. (I must admit that expensive taps are in my long term planning – hopefully 2015). I have white painted wooden shelves in the open cement counters for towels and other accessories.
Decorating other rooms come naturally to me, but when it comes to bathrooms, I usually like to follow a “less is more” approach, with clean lines and surfaces, pretty towels and good quality hand soap and hand cream. I am hungry for new ideas on how to decorate my bathrooms without too much clutter. I have found tips and inspiring pictures on the website, The Inspired room on how to decorate bathrooms. White remains a favourite to me when it comes to decor, and there is a lovely old bathroom with a cabinet redone in white and new inspirations for an old bathroom.
My current thoughts are leaning towards getting basic accessories like getting a magazine and toilet roll holder for the guest bathroom for Mr Price home, and perhaps a kubu Utility basket or two for the white selves. Another think that would be absolutely crucial is to try to find an old wooden container that is desperately shouting out for some white paint!
Anyway, these are my bathrooms currently – watch this space by next week and who knows what it will look like!?
If all else fails, fresh flowers in one’s bathroom beats any bought item ; )
