S2 EP4: Our new guest bathroom reveal - proving you can make small spaces grand!
Today, I would like to show you our latest room reveal - the downstairs guest bathroom. It's a tres petite salle de bain but you can always create great results even in small spaces!
We approached this room renovation keeping in mind that it is a very tiny space (1.8 x 2.2m) - therefore trying to maximise space and create a layout that allowed for some storage solutions!
As always we try to support local business and so we bought the floor and wall tiles from our local hardware supplier (Freytet) here in Daglan and everything else was purchased online. Sometimes it's very hard to find what you need living in country France!
As always, I hope you enjoy the episode and I would love to know what you think.

Gorgeous guest bathroom Darls! Loving the marble tile, gorgeous mirror, sink and vanity! A more modern room renovation that still complements the guest bedroom. A great outcome for a tiny space! 👏👏👏
The guest shower room has been transformed into a very pretty and functional space. Well done.

Love the bathroom, tiny rooms can be the hardest to work on. You chose the perfect colour scheme. Love the curtain lace and hooks.

Thank you so much Helen. ☺️ They are small details but in a small room I think they work quite well.

The bathroom is beautiful! You guys are an awesome team! You should do a French home renovation show. Others could benefit from your skill and creativity. I’d watch it. Another very enjoyable episode! (But not enough of your furry friends in this one)

Aww so nice of you to say! We approach everything with what’s effective, affordable and aesthetic. Shaun and I don’t always agree on design ideas but we find middle ground, he may do the hard lifting but he does have a great ‘aesthetic’.
The veins on the tiles match the leaves beautifully

You have very lovely taste. I almost died when your husband came in with his shorts pulled up like that, and I said oh dear he doesn't know the cameras on lol and then he did 😂🤣 very funny. I think the bathroom looks fabulous! Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖

Hello Jackie from Oklahoma! When I asked him to add some ‘interest’ to our vlogs I didn’t expect him to do that. He always leaves me guessing. Haha!
Love the big tiles Darlene … so nice to see something other than white… well done Shaun

Thanks so much Matilda. The room was deceptive in its complexity! Wonky walls and lots of tiles to cut and shape but we got there in the end 😊
BEST WISHES TO YOU

Omg!😧 Shaun, you really got me! At first I was so embarrassed for you thinking, “that guys got no idea how bad he looks!”. Great joke Shaun 😂😂. The bathroom looks lovely. I can see how your first vision with brass/gold fixtures, etc. would have looked beautiful with the tiles and curtains, but you made the right choice to change to chrome because of the shower frame. Hope you two have a wonderful week. ❤Zeljka

Looks wonderful. We have used that film in our home. It is fantastic. We put it on the clear panes of glass in our front door. It lets light in but you also have privacy. The fabric for your curtains looks fantastic. Great job

wondering why you wouldnt paint the ceiling first?
@DarleneLavett

We had to repair the top of the walls where they join the ceiling first before I could paint.
Just a bit concerned that your vent from the refurbed bathroom goes straight to the basement. What about damp/ mold issues?

Don’t be concerned, I’m going to run some vent tubing and vent it outside, just haven’t got to it yet, my list from the boss keeps getting longer
endless fingerprints on the mirror are probably gonna be annoying after a bit
Why did you leave the old tile On the wall and put the new 1 over top of it I've never seen it done that way
@ShaunSmith-InTheDordogne

I tried getting some of them off, whatever they used to adhere them with was some pretty strong stuff and I would have destroyed the hollow brick internal walls in the process, so I treated the tiles with a bonding agent so they would adhere properly. Sometimes you have to adapt :)
Well done Darlene and M Porn Star. Boys!,?.😫😫🤣🥳You have made a small space look so much bigger and up to date. Smaller the room the more difficult. Good luck with the Expo. Yet another language trap. Exhibition is more a flasher but Exposition is the word for showing your paintings. Unless Sean is putting on a show😳😳😳🤭🤭🤭🤭
