Loving the "distressed look" in the bathroom

The painted paper is a disaster, for sure, but the tiles still look good and the suite just looks like it needs a good clean and some resealing.

The boiler above the bath would have to die a death though.

Where is Laura

Trying to get her life back ;
& now also her sanity after seeing the £360,000 price tag on that sad bungalow.

I assume the wall hanging in the dining area (3rd down) is to the bear's taste.

wow look at the flower power orange bedspread in pic 6.

Awwww I think it's a wedding photo to the right of the fire place, and the long school/ work B&W photo's in the kitchen diner.

Bet that framed map by the table was way ahead it it's time interior design when it went up there.

Wonder of it's a map of the Thorpe Bay/Southend? I would imagine that would have some coast on it though?

Where is Laura or Dave -they are the fountain of all knowledge!!;)

I'm here, but busy, trying to sort out my own naff bungalow!

The map looks to me like an OS of an area near Southend , centred roughly on Brentwood.

I know more about the long school photos, as it's to my eternal shame that I didn't have the b*lls to run from one end to the other as the clockwork camera panned, in order to appear at both ends. My friend did, and got away with it too.
I didn't even get away with wearing my CND badge in the individual shots...... served a detention for that. :mad:

In another long photo, another friend had the presence of mind to smuggle a head & shoulders cardboard cut out of some character he'd painted into the picture, prompting many comments of "Who the hell is that?!" later on. Again, no initiative or anything from me: I didn't even pull a gormless face or give a 'V' sign.

That kitchen cupboard in picture 11 is highly sought after by retro fans.

Offer that on ebay and you'll have your arm snapped off.....

Okay...tell me the bad news then as to how much its worth.

As I own one of them (ie was agreed by vendor of last house they would leave it there, but they didn't), so I might as well know how much of my money they walked off with....:(

Please say its less than £500 at least, as I think I might just feel a bit sick if its more than that...

"Cannot believe these two bathrooms are in the same property!

Pic 10's tiles are amazing in the 70s colour spectrum"


I love the tiles in pic 10. Not en masse, but rescue a few and scatter them through new tiling, or maybe as a contrast border and I reckon they'd look great.

I am on the fence with this one, I certainly don't like the "thrown" at the top of the steps in bathroom (10)
Not sure about the fire place/pit/focal point/central bonfire???

Looks nice from outside though.

Love it. Probably best not to dig too deep in the garden though :eek:

Thanks.

Still feel a bit sick, as I'm not sure whether I would have kept mine or sold it (probably sold and have an extra £300 in my bank account now:().

OK, its a house, nothing particularly special about it or worthy of inclusion in this thread http://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/32188563?search_identifier=af7d1b319936c0e21b2520aad996cf32 apart from the appalling decision to block up a "nice" fireplace and the fact the current owners are clearly not Bibliophiles

But, what's this, let's do a bit of tabloid journalism and lo and behold, we have a story! http://money.aol.co.uk/2014/08/04/why-wont-roger-moores-old-house-sell/?ncid=webmail3
