#greatbritishhome Dream Bathroom with Victoria Plumb

By Catty212
I'm part of the Mumsnet bloggers network and I came across a competition they're running in conjunction with Victoria Plumb, giving bloggers the chance to win £500 of High Street vouchers. The aim is to fill out the quiz on the Victoria Plumb page to find out your celebrity style and then create a blog post about your dream bathroom.

I filled in the quiz and waited in anticipation for my results, and this is what it came back with -
I am - Mr or Mrs Glamorous .... (apparently).

Your style is most like Joey Essex or Sam Faiers from TOWIE
Everything about you screams glamour; you always look photo-ready, whether you are working out, shopping in designer boutiques or snuggled up at home in your designer onesie. You crave home comforts that make a statement - a faux fur blanket, embellished cushions and lots of crushed velvet. You use neutral shades mixed with metallic. Pride of place are family portraits, kitchen gadgets and the keys to your Range Rover.

Wish list: ADD A MODERN TRENDY BATHROOM SUITE LIKE THE PRINCETON FROM VICTORIA PLUMB, AND YOUR BATHROOM BECOMES A PLACE TO SHOW OFF TO YOUR FRIENDS - THE PERFECT PLACE TO TAKE THE OBLIGATORY SELFIE!
CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT: A feature fireplace for all those OK Magazine spreads
Hmmmm ... if you say so. The less said about Towie the better.

Writing about my dream bathroom makes me excited as I love visualising pretty things but also a little sad, as I came so close to having it. Hubby and I had an offer accepted on our dream home with the biggest bathroom in the world (well almost) a couple of years ago, it was the type of bathroom dreams are made of (mine anyway!). The house was a grand 1800's terraced affair with rooms that echo'd when you spoke. Anyway to cut a long, sad story short, our offer was accepted, we paid a lot of money for a full structural survey and may as well have thrown that money down thebeautiful cast iron drains around the house as the survey came back with 32 major faults which meant we had to pull out of the purchase. It still makes me sad now, especially when I head off for a bath or shower as if by some cruel turn of fate we now have the smallest bathroom in the world (yes really!) If you imagine having a shower while your bum skims the toilet seat you'll be able to picture what I mean (the bathroom size, not my bum!). 

Anyway enough reminising.

My dream bathroom has a very classic feel. I love elegant designs and would love nothing more than a country manor adorned with all of its original features, I suspect the title 'Lady of the Manor' would have suited me very well.

My beautiful bathroom would look out onto lush green gardens filled with ornate water features and scampering wildlife.

The colours of the bathroom would be quite simple, with white and pastel shades featuring throughout. The floors would be varnished wooden floorboards. It would all look clean and spacious but with a vintage feel.

I would choose the beautiful Camberley range from Victoria Plumb in my dream bathroom. The products are sleek and elegant and have a fantastic vintage feel to them. I love white bathroom suites. They're timeless and are much less likely to become outdated.

If you're on more of a budget but still want similar the lower priced Winchester range is perfect.

Once I had my dream bathroom in place it'd be all about the decor! I'd keep the walls plain and simple and the accessories stylish and minimalistic.

I'd choose a variety of florals, pastels and gold! 
As always I used Pinterest for some inspiration. I think the pictures below are stunning. They're so romantic and pretty.

Another thing I think is a total must in a bathroom is a fabulous mirror. I think this stunning ornate gold one would be perfect in my dream bathroom.

And these accessories look like they would finish off the room perfectly.

But .... if I can't have my dream bathroom I would happily make do with being able to have a shower that lasts longer than 30 seconds or being able to use the loo without the door open under the watchful eyes of my son!
Victoria Plumb are currently holding a sale too! It's worth a look if you're looking for a new bathroom.
