I revamped the whole bathroom. I took everything out, changed to toilets for business use, took all existing tiles off the wall and floor, took out the bath and basin and replastered the walls. I also tiled the floor, painted the walls and ceiling, divided the bathroom with drywall for two separate toilets and made a new basin with wood. We made the taps ourselves and the shelves in the toilet with repurposed wood (Oregon pine) from the house. We decoupaged the doors and the walls in the toilets. The mirror was made from a repurposed window frame and old picture frame. The taps are made of galvanized pipes which I spray-painted. I made the toilet roll holders myself. We covered the one wall with polystyrene ceiling tiles and painted the other walls. We took out the existing windows and replaced them with new ones made by us. Me, my husband and two of our workers did all the work ourselves.
