This loo was a long time in the making!
We started working on it when I was pregnant. I find this post from December 2016 when we were rearranging the tiles… the loo is not quite finished yet, but it has been functioning since summer 2017. It is still missing a shelf under the sink, and a curtain to cover it, which is made but not installed since there is still a lot of dust in this area… I did install a curtainĀ on the door to give more privacy.
So, the steps in this build were:
- Re-structure the area
- Install all drains and plumbing
- Install electricity wires for lamps and outlets
- Even out the floor
- Plaster details
- Tile the floor
- Tile the wall
- Grout the floor
- Grout the wall in the most insane way possible (see pics)
- Install the toilet
- Build a threshold and door frame < this is SO difficult!
- Refurbish a door
- Install the door
- Make a support/cabinet for the counter
- Make a molding, install it, install a led strip over it – install the lamps
- Paint
- Cut a mirror to measure, have it break
- Cut another mirror to measure, install it
- Install the marble (I designed the shape)
- Install the taps and sink
- Install a molding around the mirror and on top of the wall tiles
- Install towel rack etc

Installing steps
Insanely, we maintained the stripes in the grout...
Grouting the white portions
Grouting the black portions
The lamps are very modern but we think they fit
We patched up and recycled a door originally from the house
The door frame also had to be made to measure...
Building a support/cabinet with pine
Marbles and sinks for loo and laundry corner
Mirror and marble and taps and sink installed!
Setting the door up
Maybe a bit too much
Finishing touches
Globo Paestum Monolito (AKA Manolito). This toilet is SO easy to clean, love it!
