In approximately eleven hours the House of Sven will be altered beyond recognition... well our dreaded bathroom will be at least. After over a year of planning and saving we are finally about to embark on the mammoth task of ripping out our skanky, rotting, slightly spooky bathroom, gutting the room, rebuilding it and installing a shiny new suite! Well I say we, what I really mean is I will make tea whilst Matt, Will and Derek do all the work :)...
Right back when we got engaged we were planning our dream bathroom resplendent with a double ended bath, walk in shower and Ideal Standard suite (I'm salivating like Homer over a donut) but due to the sheer amount of work and money needed we've been delayed in making the dream a reality whilst we saved.
Thankfully in that time three of our lovely friends have set up businesses as builders, electricians and plumbers so I will no longer have to feel awkward in my own home with random tradesman, instead I get to make bacon sandwiches for my friends :) God is good.
You may be thinking that this is a terribly shallow post... and you'd probably be right, but unless you've visited our loo and witnessed the horror of the demonic kitten wallpaper, the collapsing bath and rotten floor you will not fully comprehend what a joyful two weeks this is going to be. For posterity and so we can have a little before and after magic I've added some photos below. Believe me, they do not do it justice.
Maybe we should throw a bathroom warming party when we're done... xc
