La Maisonnette - that tiny bathroom returns!

 Here we are back in the petite bathroom.

I want to get it finished because I'm tired of trying to figure out what to do in there.

I came up with a handbasin design to embrace my love of rusty enamel

and added a little soap dish to the shower.

I attached the handbasin to a panel of tiles because it was driving me crazy 

trying to attach it directly to the slanted wall.

The tile panel isn't glued to the wall yet, I'm still moving things around.

Here are the rather grand doors I made for the bathroom.

My final headache 'challenge' in here is the toilet. 

I'd rather the toilet was on the other side of the handbasin so it wasn't right in your face when you're looking at the house but...

 then it would be the first thing you see when you open the bathroom door...

which just doesn't seem right either. 

(Forgive the quality of the last couple of pics which were hastily taken at night.)

And then there's the tricky question of pipework and a cistern. Not to mention where I've put the toilet lid - not that it would technically be able to have a lid if it's against the slanted wall.

I'm tired just thinking about it. That's a challenge for another time...there are prettier, less functional, things to be working on!

Thanks for stopping by and any ideas on what to do would be most appreciated!

La Maisonnette - La salle de bain

This bathroom is tiny! 

When I first started creating the bathroom I attached it to the wall of the mansard roof. 

But I soon realised it was going to be very difficult to install the shower with it

 attached like that so I removed it. 

Sometimes I really should think things through before I start!

The shower head and pipework is all just made from beads and wire.

I whittled the head of a toothpick to make the shower handle.

Putting it all together was fiddly work!

I bought a sheet of dollhouse tileboard when I visited Kim in the USA many years ago.

 Thankfully I had just enough left to create the walls and floor of the shower.

I've tried not to make it too grungy! 

But to leave it white and sparkly clean just wouldn't look right.

The pics are all from my phone once again and this was amongst the bathroom pics. 

An early morning double rainbow over the back fence. 

That was clearly a good day for making things!

The bathroom isn't finished but I have made a light.

It does have some fancy double doors which I need to take pics of in daylight to show you.

We had a three day lockdown here last week so I had time to start working on a handbasin...

it's a very tight space to fit a handbasin and toilet 

but one day (hopefully soon)  it will all come together!

Thank you all for stopping by here and for your uplifting comments, you really do make my day!
