Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 14, 2013 8:40 am Hi everyone, Has anyone done this in their bathroom at all? The look we're after is something like this: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We can't seem to find many places that do this in Melbourne. As we're building with a builder, we've asked them to look into it and quote us on how much extra this would cost (the standard allows for tiling up the wall). The material needs to be suitable for wet areas. I found a product called VJ sheeting but just a supplier and not an installer. Thanks!

She apparently wanted it in her bathrooms too but found the builders did not want to do it as it is not common in Australia even though it is so common in America. She ended up going with cedar v-joint panelling to ease the builders concerns about moisture damage but because the cedar is quite expensive she scrapped plans to put it in all her bathrooms and went with subway tiling instead. I know her sister though had it in all her bathrooms in her house. Sorry I don't know what brand was used in either. Re: Bathroom panelling 3Jan 14, 2013 11:53 am Thanks for the reply. Yes that's what I'm worried about - the expense. You're right, it's extremely popular in the US. It looks amazing so I am surprised it's not more common here. I'll have a look, thanks!

Looks like she did do it in the bathrooms as well: http://georgicapond.blogspot.com.au/201 ... nally.html http://georgicapond.blogspot.com.au/201 ... eveal.html I have emailed her for some further info. Thanks again!

How gorgeous does it look? She said the builders nearly quit when she said she wanted skirting put into the bathrooms If you email her she will normally reply as I have emailed her before asking for details and she has always replied..very helpful.

I have based my kitchen on hers and some of my paint colours will be the same too. I have also learnt so much about fabrics and wallpapers too. I follow her on Facebook and Instagram too so I don't miss a thing, just a tad obsessed. Re: Bathroom panelling 8Jan 17, 2013 11:44 am I got a good response from Mel guys so thanks for the recommendation. Now, to get the builder on board with what I want!
