b'I used blackwood on the bench to relate to the timber in the rest of the hall, especially the grand staircase, explains Debra. The Victorian-look brick tile is actually a slightly more modern proportion, but still gives the feeling of age. The vintage bath was positioned so its the rst thing you see if the door is open.Debra designed a vanity to look like a vintage piece of furniture, repeating the style of the adjoining kitchen cabinets. To the delight of Fiona and Ross, she also found light ttings, mirrors and other trims with an Arts and Crafts feelbut at bargain chain store prices. After years of making do with the old bathroom, the couple also wanted easy-to-clean space with the comfort of under-oor heating. Debra went one better with marbled tile oors. She also worked on bringing light into the room, as the only windows are small and high. The light-reecting white tiles are complemented by a feature wall of Resene Sisal behind the bath and Resene Black White on the ceilings and woodwork. Bathrooms are getting bigger. They are now a sanctuary; a place to escape, explains Debra. People are travelling more and want to have that same kind of luxury spa experience at home. \x06\x11\x13\x0f\x0c\x06 \x0b\x04\x14\x12\x0c\x04 \x11\x0b\x01\x01\x10\x11\x12 \x12\x04 \x16\x06\x03\x05\x06\x07\x0c\x13\x08\x10\x11 \x06\x08\x12\x04\x0f\x0c\x06 \x11\x12\x10\x04\x12\x04\x01\x02\x01\x0f\x04\x15\x0e\x0c\x10\x0c \x07\x15\x13\x06\x0b\x11\x0e\x15\x17'
