Loving the use of the same tiles on both the wall and floor.
Also the feature shelf and the way it disappears into the wall.

Ditto Griffo's post! Is the lighting just from the ceiling spots? It looks very 'glowy'.

It's lovely and so glamorous! The dark tiles look great (and I love Cowshed products too!).

Hi Susan14,
Thanks for your comment.
The tiles are from Worlds Ends Tiles in Battersea:

Love this. The texture of the dark tiles is gorgeous and I am partial to a warm version of black and white - very relaxing. And yes, I'm a Cowshed fan too.

Also really like the door and the fact it is painted white and not left stripped or varnished. I want to paint our doors when I ever find the energy!

I'd really appreciate knowing where you got your door handle from - the clear glass knob? I am after some of these but don't want to pay the earth.

Thanks a lot Mollie100!

Painting the doors was a pain, I had to do them 3-4 times to get an even colour, but it was well worth the effort and a lot cheaper than getting new doors!

I searched high and low for those glass knobs and found the cheapest ones on the internet. I don't remember what company it was as it was quite a while ago, but I paid around £25 a pair. Just did a quick search now: http://www.doorhandlesuk.com/acatalog/Clear_Glass_Knobs.html
I hope that helps!

The bathroom looks really lovely and interesting to hear about the door saga. We're just deciding whether to paint our wooden doors or not. They're currently stripped back to the natural wood which is lovely but some of them are marked and I wonder if it would look better and more finished if I painted them all. Although sounds like it'd be a mammoth task if we do decide to paint them!

Keep the photos coming, they're lovely to see.
