Tile Selection

After 3 attempts to visit tile shops, I finally went by myself.. well actually I had my youngest but she was firmly strapped in so was able to concentrate without saying 'please put all 300 of those laminate samples back where they came from'

We are trying to acheive a beachy relaxed comtemporary theme with the home which is why greens and light browns seem to work in well with the white.

The kitchen will be handle -less with a a poly shiney white cabinets. I think it's called Mega white for memory so that explains the whiteness! It almost looks like it is paper behind the gloss which I think gives it an earthy tone. The splash back will have a white gloss tile with a beige border... the tile matched the stone in the benchtop




For the girls bathroom we are doing more a green then beige. The floor tile has green tones to it and it looks really nice with the feature tile.
The cabinets are a beech wood look and the top is a stone look which will have a square form edge.



The ensuite has a lighter floor and the stone feature tile. The stone feature tile is lighter than it looks in the picture and more closely matches the floor tile. We will also have a beach wood look to our cabinets with white drawers.
