In eight days, he transformed the unremarkable bathroom into a thing of faux gold and fake marble beauty with just £250 ($487) of materials. Bland covered the tiles on the floor with a layer of epoxy resin, which he marbled with a powder pigment. The shower is coated in imitation gold leaf, oil-based 'gold size' glue and three coats of varnish to seal it. Bland painted the room entirely white and then used black paint to create outlines on everything so it looks two-dimensional. If and when the time comes to sell the house, Bland says he can always paint things back to normal.
