Heavens to Murgatroyd, it's been AGES since my last post! In the past few months, I have spent wonderful and memory-packed times with family over here from Scotland, completed two really fun design jobs, worked Saturday mornings at Masters North Lakes as a Colour Consultant for Wattyl and started a second small business (more on that much later).
Never a dull moment - wouldn't know what to do with myself if I had one :-)
Sooooo, there have been a few photos here and there on my new FB page - Nicola Duncan Designs - of the new bathroom, but to round it all off, I thought I'd share some of the before and after shots that I commissioned from my friendly real estate photographer Todd.
Here you go ....
 |
| On the left, original 50s styling! On the right: ceramic floor tile by Complete Tiles & Stone, Shower Exposure Rail System 2 by Methven, Feature mosaic 'Carnival' from Classic Ceramics, Basin bench Caesarstone Osprey, Taps by Grohe, Basin & WC both reclaimed, Underbench drawer, stool & medicine cabinet - all vintage finds. |
 |
| Bamboo Poles wallpaper in Horizon Blue by Grace Garrett, available from emilyziz.com. Wall-hung loo brush & holder from Argent, loo also has soft-closing lid (which means I slam every other toilet lid I use!) |
 |
| My splurge, Muse wall light from Axo. It's a wire frame with a soft fabric cover - looks like a sea urchin! Wall storage/cabinet is concealed behind the Michael Murphy image, with a mirror on the inside of the door. |
Things I love most?
- the new skylight: it floods this small space with natural light, all for less than $500
- the shower stall: it's huge and I now have a place to put my foot to shave my legs
- the cabinet that's concealed behind the Michael Murphy print (btw, I bought this print, asked the artist Michael if I could reproduce it on the cabinet door, and the amazing chaps at Commex scanned the artwork and printed it directly onto the door)
- my splurge: I put this light on every morning while I have my shower
- and the surprise you get when you turn around and see the wallpaper.
Thanks for reading/looking! Hope you enjoyed.

Nic it looks amazing!!! You are a talented woman. Xo Gwen
Your bathroom makeover looks great! Each detail that you changed, like the floor and wall, made it look decades newer. Haha! I wish you also posted your new skylight. Its cost is worth it because you’ll be using less energy with it.

Less than 500$ for natural light? I think you were able to get a good deal for that! It complemented the new look of that bathroom and gave it a homier feel. Plus, it’s a good mood setter not just during the day, but during the night as well.

I love the way you made the bathroom look better. I especially love the first photo because it looks livelier and brighter than before. If you don't mind me asking, how long does it usually take for a renovation like this? I'm very much interested in your works. Good luck to future endeavors, Nic.

This stone, tile and glass-wall can change the bathroom design. Every of your picture you show the changes of bathroom. In the 1st picture it looks bigger than previous. I am very much impressed to read this blog. Thanks for the share. Great job.
