When we bought the Sow's Ear the bathroom had been done in a 'traditional' decor to suit the Queenslander style - it has a clawfoot bathtub with trombone shower fittings, shower curtains and border tile.
It's very tired and if you've been reading for the past few weeks you'd know that we're not in the position to do a major renovation at this stage. Instead, we're just doing a little makeover.
My mission is to get towel rails, a hand towel ring and a new toilet roll holder. The new bathroom accessories will replace some old timber country-look accessories which have not weathered well in the unventilated bathroom...harbingers of extra mold we don't need!
As is my habit, scouring the Internet before leaping into making a biggish purchase is a must. Even if I don't end up buying the things online, at least I have a basic concept of what I am after when I enter a store.
The humble toilet roll holder is currently under scrutiny today. Who knew the humble loo paper holder came in so many different guises? Here are some of the ideas I've been showing Jason and the boys...
Decisions, decisions. It is probably the most fun part of renovating a house...picking the finishes. I'm not sure which one I like best. However, Jason is loving the Coat of Arms ...

We have the brass coat of arms holder in our spare loo. Not sure I would have installed it myself, but it adds a certain something to the room.
ReplyDeleteThat cracked me up. Yes, will have to consider future owners if ever we decide to move. lol! xx
ReplyDeleteIf I was you I would go for either the first, second or fourth one because they are very easy to replace the toilet roll ... big problem in this house is that ours is magnetised from end to end and no one else can be bothered to pull them apart and replace the roll ... no one except me that is. It is quite appropriate (given the room we are talking about) that I say this really gives me the s*%ts !!!

Ha! Thanks Anon Natalie I didn't even think about the replacement factor. We have that problem around here too which is so annoying. xx
ReplyDeleteI like the fourth one the best! We have one that is a bit similar, and I am still the only one who changes it a lot of the time! Men!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat double roll is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI so hope you go with the coat of arms !!! It's so fun, I love it !
ReplyDeleteI'd go with the coat of arms design, just because I'm quirky like that :D
ReplyDeleteI am truly impressed that there is so much about bathroom fittings that has been revealed and you did it so nicely, with so considerably class. Thank you
ReplyDeleteMany businesses get caught on a financial roller coaster when the economy goes up and down. Diversified, well-managed property preservation companies, however, can often ride the waves of change without experiencing those same highs and lows scrap car Birmingham
