udding interior
designer and mumof-three Alyce, from
NSW, Australia,
found the power of
knowledge invaluable for her first
bathroom renovation. “I went into
the project feeling very educated
and informed on the topic - I did
a lot of research, reading reviews
and watching tutorials,” she says
of her ensuite makeover. “This
really built up my confidence –
and I thought, if other people can
do it, I can do it too!” Over the
course of four weeks, and all in
her spare time, Alyce completed
the makeover, transforming her
once plain, dark and tired ensuite
into a light, contemporary and
functional space. +
The renovation budget
of $1,400 covered wall,
tile and cabinetry paint
and equipment, a new
mixer tap, accessories
and potted plants
