Tales From the Box

I am guilty as charged. Yes – throw your hurls of abuse – as a designer renovator and manchild, I took the easy way out. Rather than go through the whole “tiles, basin, toilet, fittings..” thing.. we simply hit the repeat button and used the same of everything from our first bathroom reno to our second. Because of our low ceiling height were were quite particular to duct the ceiling cavity in order to stop any mould and dampness that would buildup there. Remember that simply exhausting your bathroom into your roof cavity isn’t the smartest idea if you then don’t vent the cavity itself. Many a perceived dampness problem can be directly attributable to this very setup.

We also utilised some spare areas underneath the stairs to create an interior laundry. Initially this was going to be part of Bathroom 2 – but to make better use of space and walls, we made it an external access cupboard type laundry and is working a treat at the moment.
