The Bathrooms
4 bathrooms for a 300m2 house... we had our work cut out.
For our guests, we chose to create a distinctive look, always relying on materials sourced from Europe, and if possible antique furniture.
Initially, there were 2 functional but outdated bathrooms - none of them were ready to welcome our future guests, especially as either of them were connected to the adjoining bedrooms.
Stéphane had a blast demolishing everything, not that much removing the rubble...

The plumber loved planning water conduits and piping on a 19th century floor and stone walls as wide as.... 80cm.
Meanwhile, Catherine and Stéphane find new topic of conversation: reclaimed tiles, French tiles, terracotta or wooden floor? And then what paint, what furniture?
The choices are made... It will be:
- Decorative tiles, because they have to please the eye, but Italian because more affordable than French, and we could not find what we wanted in second hand.
- A French acrylic paint - the traffic in the bathroom prevented us from using a recipe found on a blog from the Nordic countries for an environmentally-friendly paint.
- Recycled furniture (old dressing tables repainted and transformed into vanity units).
- The toilets deserves their own section (to come) special publication as they were THE hot topic for the bathrooms... And we found the perfect solution!
