Bayswater Bathroom Before 

This older home’s bathroom in the original part of the home, was showing its years- the shower base was like a ‘Roman Bath’ sunk into the floor with a step down, as you might see in an older seventies bathroom. There was an old yellowing, plastic toilet and old fittings and a federation style, dark wood vanity with doors that no longer suited the room.

The skylight had long since been blocked off and there was no natural light, but the shaft for the former skylight remained intact. There was a single small light in the high ceiling which wasn’t enough to see. The mirror was rusted on the edges and the vanity top was stained and cracked.

There were fairly new taps and a shower head installed just prior, but the rest of the room let it down. The square shaped floor of the shower jutted into the room and the floor tiles were tiny old mosaics, like the old seventies bathrooms you see often have.

See some photos of how this tired old 70’s bathroom looked before our plan to make it over on a tight budget.

It really was an eyesore and the Roman bath really showed its old age.
