Not sure if these pics are going to work - this is my first time posting on here... Thought you may like to see some before and after shots of our current house (bathroom) - full renovation done by my husband, and I do the design elements.
Cheers
Jo

I wanted to add also that we were on holidays in Thailand just after we purchased this house (hadnt been lived in for over 5 years) and we loved their bathrooms so much, that we adapted their indoor/outdoor style to Melbourne weather, added on a shower to the existing structure, (double shower) and created an indoor garden on the other side. On the floor, we did 4 big pavers, surrounded by pebbles to try and capture the feeling, and it worked out a treat!
Heres some pics.

I Think I have the pics worked out now - so here is our very first project (personal one) - the house was badly burnt out in a fire, so don't mind the before images!

Thanks Julie-Ann, it sure is nice (I love it at night, with just the small uplight in the garden on) - our bathtub is a deep Japanese one, and although I rarely have a bath due to water regulations, if I do it is amazing to soak in (right up to your neck!) Yay.... Sorry if I went crazy with the pics, I have been meaning to post now for ages, and just couldnt work it out!

I love the colours in your house. The floor tiles in your bathroom are similar I've chosen for our ensuite feature wall. I love those tiles and they have such a great texture. I love seeing before and after photos. Really gives me a lot of ideas

Thanks Milena! They are gorgeous tiles, I fell in love with them for their texture as well.
Note : Brand new bottles of Chanel (or expensve watches) do NOT stand a chance when dropped on the tiles - I have shed tears twice over this.... he he. Thanks again for your comments!

Hi Babyjo
Don't be sorry for posting all the pictures. We love admiring other people's homes. You have done an incredible job. I have done up some really horrible houses before but none that had been damaged by fire. And look what you have created- gorgeous. Thanks for sharing with all of us
