Our latest dilemma – the bathroom

Some of you who follow me on Instagram (@whatmakesahouseahome) will know we’ve been planning the layout of our kitchen.

The latest puzzle to work out was the bathroom. And it’s taken me and Mr H around four weeks to agree. It’s teeny tiny (1.96 by 1.75) and with the extension directly downstairs we had to decide if we were okay with the soil pipe to go through the newly extended kitchen diner and be boxed off. In my opinion it’d look really unattractive. The other option is to move the loo to the exterior wall and take the pipe directly outside.

A bargain with a great garden and potential to extend. Contracts were exchanged in April so it was finally ours.

Bloody Kitchens

Friday night was spent drinking wine and arguing about what kitchen colour units and tops we wanted.

The husband wanted dark, I wanted light. He wants an industrial style (think exposed metal, filament light bulbs with no shades) and I want a clean modern (metro tiles and glass) style kitchen.
