The original tiler for our bathroom used some cheap and nasty glue. We had the problem of tiles falling off the wall. So, the Larrikin, to the rescue. I stripped off all the old tiles, pulled down the shower screen. I then put on a new new waterproof membrane and set to work laying the new tiles. I had some feature tiles with seahorses on them (Lindy loves seahorses) and border tiles with a fish, seahorse and turle. I did 5 rows of palin white tiles then the row of feature tiles. Followed by 5 rows of more white tile, then the border tiles. It was then I noticed that the other tiles around the bath and floor looked out of place, so down they came. I was real Lucky (read blessed)I found a shop that had a smaller version of the tiles I had used for the feature row in the shower. So up the went.I then cut the borders of the border tiles and put them on top. The only thing I didn't do myself was the painting and the new shower screen. Once I had finished the bathroom (and got lots of brownie pionts) I started on my Hobby room. I choose Duck egg green (the same colour as a British fighters' underside of WWII) for the ceiling which Lindy later used to paint the top to the walls in the bathroom. Faded Olive drab for the walls and earth brown for for the trim. I also put in a floatingwood floor (it makes it easier to see the small parts that I drop on the floor)My mother made some curtians of Cam clothe she found. Now it looks real good. My next trick is the lounge room.
