The loo, with a turquoise Toftbo IKEA pedestal mat, bought in 2009 [I think] When we bought it we also bought a pedestal mat for the handbasin, and a rectangular bathmat. My friend Lesley made me a mat to go by the shower door using recycled shirts as a housewarming present back then too.But the shower mat has worn out - and the pedestal handbasin replaced by a 2 drawer washstand. So we had one pedestal mat spare.I moved the rectangular mat along to serve both bath and basin.
But I don't like stepping out of the shower onto the tiled floor - it's slippery when my feet are wet. And the regular bath mat is a big too big - it gets in the way of the bathroom door. Then I had an idea- why didn't I modify the spare pedestal mat? I carefully unpicked the binding round one "leg", cut off the spare fabric and reattached the binding.
I am ridiculously pleased with this project.
You could say that I'm no longer putting my mat on a pedestal.
What a clever alteration!!

DeleteThat is a very clever remake of what would be called a contour mat, over here. :)
ReplyDeleteI like "contour mat" - it sounds much more shapely
DeleteThat is awesome! That is some clever thinking.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea, and it looks great too.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!

DeleteIt is so fun when you can use your own skills to create a solution to a problem! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteIt is so very satisfying
DeleteThat is some outside the box thinking!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you going to do with the piece you cut off?

No idea, Peggy. It is currently in the Great Stash. I had to handsew the binding, it doesn't go easily through the machine. I may keep the scrap in the car, to wipe the wig mirrors
DeleteOops, WING mirrors!
DeleteWhat a clever revamp!
ReplyDeleteThank you. You produce some brilliant revamps too. I really enjoy seeing them. On your blog
DeleteReally clever and appears to be "seamless". Well done!
ReplyDeleteI hid the join I the mitred corner.
