Re: Our new funky ensuite renovation

Patsy60

We bought our home 12 months ago. We knew immediately that we would need to renovate our ensuite. A mammoth task in a huge area, with everything needing to be ripped out. I wanted a pink bathroom. The first item we bought were the pink flamingo tiles from our local Bunnings. From there I decided mustard & white colours were the perfect fit with the pink. Hubby a retired builder ‘employed’ our young teenage grandson to help with the heavy lifting & give him a taste of what ‘building is like’ for his future

During the renoWe bought these wall lights at Bunnings & reconfigured them into wall sconcesBought this cabinet locker as it was a perfect colour & style I wanted. We added the retro style legs, to finish it offThis was the ‘Before’.. let’s pink it up!Let’s get this demo happening!

Hi @Patsy60,

I think you must have the single most colourful home I have ever seen.

You and your hubby have done another fantastic job on your ensuite, and how good it is that you could show your grandson what building is like. Hopefully, he enjoyed it and will be excited to help out with the next renovation project.

Thank you for sharing your funky ensuite renovation.

Hi @Patsy60,

I completely understand and agree with that.

I can build stuff without any worries. Explaining how I did it is oftentimes the hard part.

If you ever have any trouble uploading your projects, don't hesitate to reach out. We are always happy to help.

Regardless, I can follow and enjoyed the read.
