Since I moved into this flat more than 2 years ago, the bathroom has been a constant source of disappointment to me.

(You’ll be pleased to note that I haven’t left my penchant for dramatics in 2023)The previous owner had put in a lovely new kitchen and notified me that she was getting ready to do the same with the bathroom but she decided to sell instead. What remained was a windowless, melamine afflicted, carpeted disaster. And it was old.

You know as well as I do that bathrooms are expensive - and prices have only increased over the past couple of years. A whole new bathroom isn’t something I can afford just yet, but what I could do was give it a quick spruce up and make it feel a little bit lovelier to me.
