Bathroom and Kitchen completely finished...

Okay so we'd about 95% finsihed the bathroom and the kitchen, however there were still a few things to do. Since Pen and I have set a target to get the flat finished before Christmas we've got a lot to do....so pretty much every weekend is going to be taken up finishing the flat...including this past one. We managed to completely finish the kitchen and bathroom...and what a good feeling it has to be said! That's two rooms down, and 4 to go! Have a look below to see what we did....

Okay you can see the hole in the wall, we had the sink unit built around the pipes, which hid them until you opened the cupboard under the sink....then you saw that gaping hole (which by the way is a great place for a scared kitten to hide).

Now boarded up and painted a fresh white.

We built this box to hide the rails to the sliding door, unfortunately it was pretty big and some considered it ugly....

So we went for a simpler option, one piece of wood rather than the box monstrocity, now you'd never know that the sliding door rails are there....and it's relatively unobtrusive.

Inside the bathroom this was one busy little corner. The trim needed to be painted, the tiles needed to be regrouted, and the wooden box in the bottom left of the pic covered the pipes, but it needed to be painted as the wood wasn't so pretty.

Eh voila, the tiles are now regrouted, the trim on the towel cupboard has been painted, and the wooden box hiding the pipes has been tiled.

Leaving the bathroom you saw the box monstrocity, which we opted to remove...

Now we've got the door and it's sliding rails covered by the pelmet...much better no?

We had this storage area built, but there was no hardwood flooring at the entrance.

Although not a perfect job by a long shot (you notice that when you're actually standing on the new flooring) it is certainly better and at least it's not bare floorboards anymore...besides, it's just a storage area right?
