Indoor Plumbing is Luxurious
Posted on 20. May, 2008 by Laura-Jane - Whimfield in House
We are pleased to share the transformation of our bathroom!
When we bought this house, it was basically a summer cabin. The bathroom looked like this when we took possession. Note the carpeted floor(!).
Dismantled.
Stripped down to the studs.
Making the room warm and air-tight with insulation and vapour barrier.
Putting Humpty-Dumpty back together again.
Now, white and simple and boring, but insulated, clean, and fully functional!!!!!!!!!!!! (Every exclamation point denotes an “Oooh” and an “Aaah” which could be heard when water sprang from the tap and the toilet flushed and the washing machine drained and the shower rained like a tropical spa. Believe me, if you’d been living with no running water for months this little white room would make you use twelve exclamation points, too.)
Because we are in a race with Winter, we have been trying to renovate as efficiently as possible. Thus, we are painting every wall, ceiling, and piece of trim with the same white paint for the sake of speediness. I dream of a vibrant house with voracious colours, but for now white is just fine, thank you very much.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks fantastic! White is such a versatile and bright colour! I’m so glad that you now have running water too. You are making huge progressions!

Beautiful……. You can paint it florescent pink in the winter when you’re stuck inside ;)

Composting toilets come in many colours – and work whether there is power or not.
Unlike toilets that use a well…..
