This year I learnt how to put tiles on a wall. It was much more fun than I expected and I’m petty chuffed with the results, although – as with any of my DIY projects – it seemed to take weeks longer than it should have done!
Here’s the before:
And here’s the after:
The sink? We bought her for £12 at the Brighton boot fair, she’s old and still beautiful. I rather fancy she’s haunted – imagine, a haunted sink! Alas there have been no mysterious midnight mutterings emerging from the pipe work as yet.
The stand cost a little more but is worth every penny, it was custom made and fitted by the lovely Alan from Anvil Ironworks. Anvil are a small group of Brighton based artist blacksmiths who specialise in hand crafted contemporary and traditional metalwork. Check out the web page, the sculptures are amazing. The tiles come from The Tile Depot.
