Let there be light!

You know those ads on telly, where the kids are being particularly cute in a big bath in a bathroom filled with light. There's usually a yellow rubber duck somewhere in shot, and bubbles placed very carefully on it's head. I've always hated those ads. Not for their cliched bubble-gum naffyness. But because I've secretly always coveted the bathroom.



Once I moved out of home I've always lived in houses with dark dank bathrooms. The tiles were always straight from the 70's. One bathroom had the showerhead coming out of the roof and raining down onto the beach coloured shower base below. Gorgeous.



So I despised those ads because they made me want something I thought I'd never have. A light filled bathroom.





But day of all days, our new bathroom is exactly that. There's a window the size of a fridge that lets in all the afternoon sun. It twinkles and dazzles and makes bath time a zillion times more enjoyable.

Right Miles?



I love that I can finally take photos of the kids in the bath. There's shiny surfaces a plenty for the light to bounce off. I just have to keep the camera out of the splash zone.



This new house thing is going well. Going very well indeed. I'm going to get me a yellow rubber duck.
