Oh, that's lovely. I think it might also have been used in the recent Blythe Spirit.

It’s amazing, and today I learned what a loggia is.

This is brilliant: https://twitter.com/cox_tom/status/1523 ... 1WB0WnMMCQ.

My flat has a loggia as I have been corrected for referring to it as a balcony before.

Anyone like a bit of a pole dance with their Frosties?

Care for a retro bathroom? At least it isn’t carpeted.

I reckon it’s peak late 70s/ 80s, the majority of the house needs updating but this stood out.

I reckon the blue suite would look great with white walls.

That's very like what I had when I moved in to my house, but the bath (which also had the soap dish/side panel thing) was pink, the walls were cork-tiled, and the floor was carpeted. I had a very similar large mirror over the bath and another fixed directly to the opposite wall above the sink, so the room looked very big and you almost got that infinite reflection thing, which was a bit disconcerting when getting in and out of the bath in the nuddy.

I don't hate the blue either, but the mirror, floor and tiling would need to come out so you'd probably just gut the place.

My Mum still has a very 80s bathroom suite that is dark orange.

Is that in the UK? It looks very 70s French to me. Ours would be just like it - only light brown. :look: :lol:
