Thats very nice for a late night purchase.

This was bought by Yvonne at the weekend.

Nice metamorphic desk/shelves.

I’d seen a couple of lamps from the seller previously on Etsy and missed out so this time I just thought fuck it.

Should be here tomorrow.

We’re in the planning stages to refit the dreadful grey-eige en suite we inherited.

This is a joint effort of dubious taste, but the look we’re going for is definitely 1930s, and what Hel describes as influenced by a GWR waiting room chic so expect Edwardian’syellow and green tiles, some wood bits and some blue and red accents.

I’ve started gathering bits, starting with this 30s jade green sink which I’ll mount on a brass washstand and find some antique brass taps for it.

If you like being triggered by other people’s horrific taste then stay tuned :grin:

Quite like the look of that but I really can’t be doing with separate hot and cold taps again.

What colours you after?


I actually like this.

Are you navigating the internet with a screen reader these days?

What’s one of those?

Thier website just seems a bit mad when on it I think. I just posted a link like usual.

A device that reads aloud the text on the screen.

Ah, no. You may think I’m blind but no.

The one in the picture which I’ve bought. Next up to source is a brass wash stand for it to sit on.

Yeah, my post was mainly a joke as I’d seen that toilet recently when looking at stuff for my bathroom and I thought of it when you listed those colours. I then noticed the similarity of the basin and I quite like the colours!

I’m sure yours will look more tasteful though.

Isn’t avacado back in fashion yet? :thinking:

Yes. But that’s 70s and we’re aiming at 30s.

I love that eau-de-nil shade personally, but I wish you the very best of luck matching the exact tone if you’re buying piecemeal: no two sets ever came out of the kilns precisely the same colour. OCD test incoming…

OCD is for other people :rofl:

You’re right, it’s almost impossible to find a match so either don’t sweat it or embrace a design which doesn’t necessitate colour matching at all.

It’s more important to find a loo that fits the period and within the overall design than get knotted up about things I couldn’t really care less about.

A high level cistern would be in keeping, but I guess that limits choice somewhat?

A mid level separate cistern would be ideal. I suspect opportunity to colour match will be limited but can’t be helped.

Ideally find one in a salvage yard as pretty much everything in this house has re-used materials with a few exceptions like plaster coving etc.

A salvage yard sounds like your best bet for sure :+1:

I was aware he’d been in a few Tarantino films but after his stint in White Lotus I was looking to see what else Walton Goggins had been in and found this.

I do like the style of this place. Seems very comfortable.
