Now that the bathroom is ready, you can discuss the before-and-after situations. The starting point was a white-tiled basic tidy bathroom. It had two showers side by side, a washing machine and a basic sink, mirror cabinet and toilet seat.

I saw in my mind a dark-walled, rough-hewn spa experience room. The next steps were taken to get there.

For the cabinets I chose a shade of green called Studio Green. A really beautiful smoky dark grey green colour. I thought it would go very well with dark grey microcement walls. Well, when the custom made cabinets arrived, the shade of green was this school board green, or Christmas green. In any case, much more striking and, as it were, more clearly green than I had thought. And somehow I didn't react immediately, but the colour started to bother me after the furniture had been installed for a while and the rose quartz washbasin was attached to the surface of the level. I compared the colour I had chosen with the actual result and it was quite different. What made the possible repair difficult was that the industrial paint used would have required a ventilated painting area, meaning that the cabinets would have had to be removed and painted elsewhere. On-site painting was out of the question.

Finally, when we discussed the issues with the contractor, I decided to just accept the colour and build the bridge with greenery. Now that the bathroom has been in use for a few months, I'm kind of even vaguely happy with the colour.
