Today, we had progress. While the cement & concrete, holding the re-positioned well together outside, dries, the cills were formed. And even though they need to be finished, we can now get an idea of what our kitchen windows will eventually look like…
So, while work continues in the kitchen, we’re turning our thoughts to the next room which will be renovated. There are plenty of contenders for this, but we’ve decided the downstairs bathroom needs to be tackled as it’s pretty horrible, and leading straight off from the The Well Room, needs to have something pretty spectacular (although not with a spectacular budget) done. It’s very small, and like the upstairs bathroom, very poorly configured. In order to maximise space once in there, we’re going for a wet room approach – and this means the door, as is, which opens inwards, has to go. Sliding is what we’ve decided – a sliding door on the outside. What we can’t decide though is opaque reinforced glass or timber?

This configuration is almost exactly as the door could look, as it would slide to the right…

Corrugated iron is an option we hadn’t considered, but love the look of this…

A mix of opaque glass and wood…

Without the “Bath” sign (too fussy), do love this vintage style door with frosted glass…

All wooden – with the plus point of more privacy…
And, my favourite, so far…

Very French and chic…But with additional frosting, of course, if we went for something like this!
I think I have may made up my mind, but would be very interested to hear your thoughts. All have merits, all have disadvantages – and of course, sound insulation needs to be a big consideration! But, which would you go for?
