The Shower Tray – Evolved by JT
The latest home improvement report indicates that UK homeowners would choose to remodel their existing prop- erties, rather than move to a new house. Hayley Fenn of Granite Transformations has five affordable tips for enhancing living space and adding value to property: add an ensuite; explore magical mosaics; go island style; transform a humble down- stairs loo; modernise the shower. The best thing about these tips is that they can be mostly carried out within exist-
