Despite my fervent hopes to the contrary, my main WIP this week has been finishing the bathroom, which I finally did last night. Or so I thought. Then I found when I was scrubbing off all the decorating debris, that there was a crack in the bath. I could have cried! So on the phone to the suppliers and fitters to sort it out…
In the non paint-filled times, I finished my Quilt Now Issue 11 project, and have been playing jigsaw puzzles with hexies for my rainbow IG mini swap. That part was the more enjoyable part of the week…
Finishes This Week:
Quilt Now Issue 11 project, which will be available in May.
Last but one round of the Brit Bee medallions, which I hope we’ll be able to reveal soon.
The bathroom (round 1), sorry, I don’t have photos of the former horror! I can tell you it was green with greenish cream fittings and a dead electric shower (and the replacement attached to taps one scalded you if you stood up due to differing hot/cold water pressures)
From the door towards the sink:
Moving round to the left:
And the last corner, the shower above the offending bath
In Progress This Week:
Rainbow mini swap mini. My partner has been deathly silent on IG, and after a vote on IG by my followers didn’t tell me a decisive direction to head in, I just went with what fabrics I wanted in the end, because, you know, it’s all about me ;o) I’ve been having a bit of a hexie placement crisis though, any thoughts?
To Be Worked On This Week:
Rainbow mini swap – I need to finish this very soon, so it’s my first priority.
Writing up my Rainy Days And Mondays bag – painting pushed this off the list last week unfortunately
Linking up with Lee and the gang:
Sorry about your tub! Your bath looks far posher than mine. (I have gold fixtures…ew…)
A crack?! Noooooo!! Your bathroom looks great and I hope the bath gets replaced soon! Love the hexies, I think I'd go for either top right or bottom left (*double checks that she's got left and right the correct way round* *really isn't kidding*) – hope your partner pipes up soon!
you could also go in a spiral. I know, you do not need an other option but I am on the spiral trip and all my ideas don't work out đŸ˜€ I love your bathroom. You have a relaxing area now đŸ™‚
I'm with bottom left
Oh no! That is awful about the tub! The bathroom does look fabulous and hopefully you get quick tub replacement. I voted for the bottom left hexie placement on instagram, but now I am kind of leaning towards top left! Unhelpful, I know! đŸ˜€ I can see why you are having a hard time deciding!
Loving your hexie designs, especially the bottom left! Such a shame about the bath but I hope it can be sorted as it is looking amazing – we need a part screen like yours as we still have a shower curtain for our bath:(
Your bathroom looks amazing, such a shame about the bath, I'd have cried! I voted top right on IG which is still my favourite.
It's so frustrating in swaps with silent partners! I think that's the biggest turn off for swaps for me because there's no fun in making something personalised for "no one". I have two swap partners at the moment who, despite doing multiple swaps themselves, are at least not participating in the swaps they are my partners of and it kind of makes me think I just want to do something easy and not waste my time on anything fancy or super special… which kind of defeats the whole purpose.
Your bathroom looks beautiful!!
oh gosh! I can't believe that about the tub!!!! Hope it can get replaced pronto!
Girl, you know top right is it!!
I ADORE your new bath!!! Pedestal sinks rock! I really hope the tub crack is a quickly fixable issue!
I NEED a rainy days bag, so you had better churn out that pattern, like, pronto ;0
Hope you are having the chance to get outside into, hopefully, sunshine! XX!
I like the bottom left hexie layout best đŸ™‚ My partner and feedback from others went exactly the same way….
The bathroom is looking fab, how annoying about the crack – why didn't the fitters see it? I like both the top arrangements, but all are fab
Top right!
The bathroom looks really great. Sorry about the tub.
Silent swap partners are a pain in the proverbial, but like you I just assume that gives me free rein to do what I like đŸ™‚
I vote for top right and bottom left with the hexie arrangements!
Hope your bath is soon replaced and your swish bathroom restored to its' full glory!
I really agree with Fiona on the swap partners and the arrangements!
I love the bathroom, you really can't go wrong with white! Hope the bath get sorted soon!
Oh no, I'm sorry about the crack in your bathtub! :(!!! I hope they fix it for free!
… Your shower is so neat! I've never seen a half wall like that before. I like it!
The bathroom looks great. Sorry to hear about the crack though. Hope it's fixed with the minimum of fuss and mess.
Love the rainbow hexies. I quite like the top left placement. No idea why, it just caught my eye the most
