Renovations: Before: Upstairs bathrooms

The shower cubicle at the top of the stairs just has to go! The floor will be taken back by a foot or so to create more headroom for taller residents climbing the stairs and the remaining space at the edge of the landing will be used for a long-line built-in linen cupboard.



The solitary toilet will be absorbed into the en suite for the master bedroom...



And the current bathroom will be the other half of the en suite and part of the walk-in wardrobe. I'm hoping to make a fortune by selling the authentic 1960s vanity unit on TradeMe.



I had hoped that we could preserve this quirky cleaning cupboard which opens onto the landing outside the bathroom. But finally I had to concede that we needed the space to create our walk-in wardrobe.



And finally, this bedroom is going to be converted into the family bathroom, complete with a huge bath tub with a view of the garden.
