What I used to decorate the bathroom.

At the start of the month I decorated our bathroom, it needed doing. It hadn't painted for a couple of years and it was starting to look tatty. I certainly enjoyed planning and buying what I needed more than the actual painting.

I wouldn't normally have bought the paint from Argos but Stu had credit to use from a website which he uses through his work. Stu gets bonuses from work and with the points we can convert them to vouchers for high street stores, supermarkets and things like that. When he sells an upgrade he also gets a spin of a wheel game thing to win more money. We usually get the odd £5 or £10 at the most. I went online to convert some of his winnings to a voucher to buy the paint and saw he had loads of unused codes, he saves them for me to do. While I was waiting for the voucher to be sent to my email I spun and ended up winning a few £5s, a couple of £10s and the jackpot of £300. That'll pay for even more paint to decorate the rest of the house. 

So with winning that money I decided to spend a little more than I would have normally spent on the bathroom.

This is what I bought from Argos, the paint, some new brushes and rollers, a new bin, some accessories and bathmats. I was really going for the grey theme.

I then had a look at the Asda George website and found a few things which took my fancy, especially for the walls.

Grey Foil Effect Shade - £12.00

Hand Love Framed Wall Art - Set of 3 - £14.00

Black Bathroom Slogan Framed Print 3-Pack - £8.00

Black Lunar Phases Horizontal Print - £7.00

I randomly got the grey paint for the wood on the walls and the shelf from the grocery part of the Asda website along with my food shop.

Then I decided that I needed some storage. We have a couple of shelves which run right around the bathroom but they always looked so cluttered so I was looking for some drawers of some sort and came across the Bathroom Floor Storage Cabinet from Amazon which was on sale for 30 something pounds. It's gone back up to £43 now. It took a lot of putting together and I still got it wrong but you can't really tell that the front is supposed to be the back. I wouldn't say it's worth the £43 even with the screws in properly the drawers do have a habit of dropping off their runners. It'll do though.

I also got a Slimline Wooden Bathroom Storage Unit from Amazon too for £21.00 of course in grey too. It is perfect for the loo rolls although I did notice on the Amazon page it could be used for cleaning products too.

Now all I am missing is a grey toilet seat, the wood coloured one does not seem to go with the rest of the bathroom now.

What was the last room that you decorated?
