SOME WALLPAPER AND SOME TILES WITH FLOWERS ON

It's impossible to describe how frustrating the wallpaper in the hallway was.  It wasn't gross so we couldn't pass it off as ironic, and it wasn't ironic so we couldn't pass it off as cool.  It was just ... bogglingly boringly naff.  And it did things to your eyes that were deeply unpleasant. 

These lovely photos (starring the delicious RB) show not just a Man At Work, but give a little peek of the original bathroom (I stupidly didn't photograph it exclusively).  We are in the process of replacing these horrible dark wood doors with painted white panel ones because no matter how brilliant you are at painting, these bastards are magnets to fluff and the finish on all of them is akin to painted Fuzzy Felt.

In these photos, I would like you to note:

1. The tiles.
2. The taps shaped like mushrooms.  Those 'Shroom taps were like regular taps, but with little plastic hats. I'm not sure why they had them - I'm wondering if at some point they were considered decorative.

Note also the wood-effect lino.  And the pointless shelf that took a foot out of the depth of the bathroom for no descernable reason other than ... no, no discernable reason at all.
