How can one be so excited by floor tiles?! I am though! Two weeks' ago my parents came and stayed with us and I put my Dad to work tiling our conservatory floor. Don't feel sorry for him - he loves it! My Dad is a 'can't sit still' kind of man and always has to be doing something, be it walking, DIY, gardening or tasting local real ale! Like most men he's also partial to watching a football game or ten..!
Dad has done a fantastic job anyway and I'm so pleased with the conservatory floor; we went with a nice plain taupe-coloured tile from Wickes and black grout which helps them stand out. Dad's done a lovely diamond pattern too which I think looks fab in our square conservatory. As yet we haven't put anything back in the conservatory as I need to wash down all the windows and frames first. Jack was such a help to Dad too :-)
The floor looks great, I do love it when a new floor is laid, before the spills and muddy footprints start appearing!! Well done to your dad he did a grand job X
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy! Dad did a fab job and I'm so pleased with it! You're right though, lovely when it's clean but it already has muddy little pawprints on it! Luckily it's nice and easy to clean! x
DeleteIt looks great and the black grout is very stylish! I usually go for grey or black too, as much as anything because white looks so grotty after a while!
ReplyDeleteThanks Josie! I agree, my main aim was to avoid white grout anyway. Too many feet and paws running over it making it grubby! x
DeleteVery smart or should that be posh, I think tiling makes a room look bigger :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn! I think you're right, the room certainly feels bigger but perhaps that's because it's first time it's been empty of tools and junk since we moved in over a year ago! x
