I spent almost £90,000 on my dream bathroom and I absolutely hate it – everything is wonky
AN AUSSIE who spent close to a whopping £90k on her bathroom renovation has revealed she absolutely hates the results.
Nothing compares to the excitement of creating your dream home – especially after you’ve invested a hefty sum in the process, expecting to fall in love with how it’s turned out.
Unfortunately for one woman, from Australia, this wasn’t the case – and rather than being thrilled with her new £90k bathroom makeover, she grew to absolutely hate it.
As originally reported by news.com.au, the homeowner explained she had forked out $150,000 (£89k) to give her bathroom a new look.
But shortly after examining the renovation results, she ended up with “one stuff up after another”.
Sharing her experience on Home Decorating Mums group on Facebook, the woman also uploaded images of her bathroom cabinet, which she claimed was low and when it opened the doors hit the towel rack beside it.

The snap revealed a large gap between the top of the mirrored cabinet and the ceiling.
To make matters worse, the Aussie added the cabinet had been cracked and held together by silicone after it was fixed on more than once.
She also claimed the feature tiles had been ordered for the majority of the bathroom.
”It’s been eight months of complaining from our end of continuous sh*t work,” the furious woman wrote.

Desperate to make it look better, she begged fellow home decor lovers for tips on how to fix this issue.
After seeing the photos, many agreed the work was of poor quality, adding that they would not be not be willing to spend that much for a result that left them unhappy.
One person suggested insetting the cabinet into the wall to create more space between the towel rack and the swinging door.
Some recommended what to do for future renovations, for instance, measuring the height to be in line with the window and doors.
Plenty of fellow members of the group were baffled that the the heated towel rack cord was sticking out, with an electrician usually wiring it into the wall and a switch to turn it on and off.

Responding to the Aussie, there were also those who advised to use a mirror in the cabinet’s place instead, as there was storage underneath.
In the end, the upset homeowner revealed she would ask her electrician to move the towel rack to solve the issue.
