Back in 2007 Glen and I were hunting for a bargain first home for Glens sister and her partner. We ended up getting a little over excited, and dec ided to buy one for ourselves. Well... you'lll see from the photos I'll show you... it was pretty fugarific. Here are a couple of pictures of what it looked like before Glen took a week off to retile the toilet and bathroom. Considering he had never done this before, I have to say I was way impressed.
Ugly cracking tiles with grey (What the?) grout lines. Soooo groossss.
Oh my... what can I say?
Here's a photo after it's all been tiled. We put in a new vanity we picked up from an auction place. The mirror was a $10 score on ebay. I actually think that's the going price for second hand builders grade mirrors... so don;t go paying more! OK??
We kept all the existing stuff like tub, shower basin etc. (As you can see we rent it through Harcourts Daisy Hill... that's where I work : )
OK... and this is a little prettier. A new toilet was needed here. Yeah... I can hear you asking "Why did we advertise the loo?" I was a little excited at our makeover... I made 'em do it. Heeheee.
Glen took a few days to do all of this... and he didn't get any help from me... other than scooting out to the middle of nowhere to collect tiles from some obscure company... they were cheeeeeaaaaap. I did remove all of the vinyl tiles in the kitchen though, and scrape up a disgusting quantity of glue..... yeeuckkk! A post for another day.
We ended up renting it our to the first people who saw it, for around $50 a week more than the previous tenants were paying. YAYEEE!
