Back on the style file

Although I am very proud of my trenches, slab and wintry quagmire, the interior style file has not been forgotten. No sir-ree! Tile discussions have continued unabated since those lazy days of the Labour Day long weekend, albeit forced underground by the eldest daughter's pure frustration with our ability to drag this out.

We snuck in a bit more chit-chit while she was in the shower last night. I love the vintage-style tiles in this pic below. Happily, Captain Laird and I agree on that for the Homemade Girls' bathroom. Up for grabs is whether we do it with the hexagonal shown, or with the similar but $20 per square metre cheaper penny rounds?

Also in the pic you can just see the white-painted timber dado that we will use to give their bathroom a less formal feel.

Meanwhile, back in our master bathroom we continue to celebrate the success of the leadlight window with deep and meaningful discussions about just the right tone of white for the wall tiles, and the perfect width of those wall tiles. 

Down in the butler's pantry and laundry it's all about black and white checkerboard style on the floor but which size? And in the kitchen I am torn between a simple white square tile design set on the diagonal for the splash back (backsplash if you are American!) and wondering if I am missing an opportunity to do something more interesting.

Hmmm. Maybe eldest daughter is right to be a little fed-up with us.

PS a big shout-out to Russia, from whence there have been over a hundred views of this blog.  Most views come in from Australia and the US, understandably. but Russia? I don't know why or how, but welcome friends!
