So sorry about the break, but life is crazy!!
We are now onto the bathroom aka the tinkle pantry :)
Very small simple room you would think, but no! Its giving me a huge headache! I keep trying to change the location of things and it really just isn't working out. I think it will come down to me in the room with all the furniture and just shuffling it around until I feel its perfect. I have a very good idea of what the setup will be in the end though. I am not over the moon about it, but it works.
The room had a clawfoot bathtub in there and we are going to keep it. It is actually date stamped, which is nice and in amazing condition! The toilet they left was new, but we are going to get one of our own just because umm.. yuck. The cast iron sink we got rid of and are going to use the washstand that was found in the scullery and put a bowl sink on the top of that. We currently are debating weather we will just put the hand held shower head in the tub or actually put a shower in. The bathtub will have a window behind it which we can frost, but it is still going to block a portion of the window if we put a shower in. The final thing we are questioning is the lighting. We are throwing around the idea of a couple pot lights and then some lights on the wall by the mirror/sink. Not 100% though.
Here is the bathroom after we gutted it. It was so awesome to take stuff out of this room as I actually got to do some of the work! FINALLY!!!! I was able to read some of the newspaper on the walls, which just amazing. The ads were just amazing to see and read from the 1920s. Some as old as 1917. The wallpaper choices that were made throughout the years were horrific to say the least lol.
Here are some of the newspapers we found over top of the sink. They were very interesting to read, but very bad state so we couldn't keep any of them.
This is where we are thinking of putting the washstand with the sink on top.
We would be putting the toilet back in its original spot over in the right hand corner beside the pipe and then the tub on the left under the window in its original spot. This seems like the only way the bathroom layout will work for now, but we will dicker with it once we get the chimney out and everything in its place.
We are going to panel and paint the room, a very soft blue/white colour we believe with some salmon coral colour to accent. This may all change within the wink of an eye though lol.
Here is the tub once it was taken out of the bathroom and you can see the date stamped on the bottom of it. Apr 21 1922.
