Another big day in the Bathroom From Hell - Russell the Plumber is finalizing all the channeling of the brickwork & the setting in of all the new pipes for the double shower, sink & loo. Too late now if MOTH's measurements are incorrect, if they are we're done for! I've decided to go for a single, very schmick looking tall mixer that will be set in the stone top of the cantilevered vanity, rather than individual tap/faucets on the wall or ones set into the sink. This does involve more work, but Russell said those magic words to me very early on 'Millie, I can do anything you want.' & I've taken this & run with it! While I really love the bathroom I posted on Friday, this one from the talented designer Helen Green is very different, but just as gorgeous. Send your prayers to the Gods of Perfect Measurement for us today!
I am praying Millie. I must tell you about a bath I saw on a house tour. In the master there were two separate baths-his and hers. Joined by a dual shower in the middle. I loved the idea of each having their own space but this connected shower. I've never seen it since and it made so much sense to me. Maybe next house... Hope it all goes well.
Hi Millie New bathrooms always look so pristine and white! At least your bathroom from hell is on the way out. I have the joy of mine, complete with impractical temple/altar vanity, mouldy carpet, rotten floor...(I could go on) to contend with for some time yet I fear. I am looking forward to seeing your new space! Amanda
Oh good luck Miss Millie. It sounds like it will work out perfectly. My kingdom for a handyman husband. Good on you MOTH for all your hard work so far! A-M xx
Good luck with it all! I can't wait to see it. By the way thank you for the gorgeous tour of Adelaide's best suburb yesterday. Your previous home look so stately and gracious. I'll take the little workman's cottage in Eastwood - perfect size for me and my little man.
Life in the little village of Stirling in the hills above Adelaide in South Australia is just about as good as it gets! Enjoying a cool climate and 'hill-station' feel, Stirling is well-known for its 19th-century stone villas set on large grounds dense with roses, camellias, rhododendrons and huge old Oaks.
With 3 sons, 3 grandchildren & my work in a scientific business dominated by yes, more men, The Laurel Hedge was born out of my sheer desperation for something the boys just don't get & never will!

15 years of renovating was over - we'd just completed everything & were really enjoying our lovely old Victorian villa in the Eastern suburbs of Adelaide. However we'd always had a fondness for the country life & without warning we found ourselves transported by alien beings disguised as Real Estate Agents to a house on 1/2 acre of wild, rambling gardens in Stirling!
The house is circa 1972 & with all the 70's features. Open-faced brown brick walls, raked ceilings, exposed beams, split levels - totally yuk! However, it's inherent design is great & the location amazing - tucked behind a wonderful old laurel hedge in a quiet country lane in the heart of gorgeous Stirling.
