We painted our house black too. It transformed it. One of our better decisions. Black makes nearly everything look better imo, especially plants. Apart from black tapware which I hate- all those soap marks would drive me nuts!
Oh wow, are you in Australia? Wish you could share photos in comments. What did you do with your roof? We still have the original corrugated iron roof and it's got stains from the leaves. Not sure what colour to paint it. Can't do black because it will be too hot in summer!
This is A Delight! My forever favourite thing is an opening window in a shower, just wonderful. I love KitKat tiles, but I think that you absolutely have to be onboard about extra grout upkeep - if that’s ok, then they are a modern and timeless joy.
I'm so lucky to have that open window in the shower - it's gorgeous in summer. And yes, agree re. KitKat tiles. So far it hasn't been too bad, just the ones around the bottom need a bit of attention. X
I too live in a period property, but from 1903 and in London. I share your worry about staying true to the history of your house, and applaud your efforts to use local brands and an aesthetic that doesn’t jar, and I think you have achieved it perfectly. You have created a stunning and thoughtful space that works for you whilst stepping in time with the past. Bet you’ve never loved showering so much!
It looks amazing and I adore the pink sink. And, how lovely to look at the trees while you shower!
The exterior of your home is lovely Rebecca. I love the louvres, they frame that gorgeous view perfectly.
Thanks so much. We painted it black! Another decision that weighs heavily... X

Kit Kat style tiles are timeless - love! Bathroom looks amazing.
Thank you, I love the KitKat tiles too! X
Absolutely divine, and no pitchforks
Ha, good to know! X

It’s so hard, isn’t it, to get the right balance? Thanks so much for your thumbs-up! The shower is a treat in summer! X
Oh god this house is fabulous- love the pink sink and the entire bathroom- will guzzle down more of this room by room
We’re still renovating but I can talk through what I’ve got planned - and the mistakes I’ve made so far.
I love it! Works perfectly in your space. Great choices. Lighting is so often forgotten in bathrooms but makes such a difference.
Thank you, so pleased it gets your tick of approval! I agree about the lighting: we've got three different sources in the space. X
It’s very beautiful and looks like a calm and soothing space to butterfly yourself into the day 👏
Why thank you, that's such a nice take on it. X
