Tiling Update

Tiling has now well and truly started for all our wet areas. The tiler started on the main bathroom first.  Our choices for the main bathroom are:

• Main Tile- Palatino Flax (light grey) 200 x 600 mm
• Feature tile- Baroque Scroll Tile in Black

The main bathroom tiling is going up to shower height, 1.8m all around laid horizontally.  The feature tile has been used in the shower niche and the entire left wall opposite the shower.  The free standing bath which we've bought ourselves will stand alongside this wall.  The black feature tile has also been laid between the vanity and mirror. The floors are a dark grey.  The tiler told us he ran out of tiles, don't know how Di Lorenzo did their calculations.  SS has already been advised by the tiler and apparently he was on the phone to Di Lorenzo straight away.

We chose the following tiles for our ensuite:

• Main Tile- large rich cream tile 300 x 600 mm 
• Feature Tile- Baroque wallpaper mosaic in turquoise blue and silver

The feature tile will run down the right side of the shower.  The floors will be veneer coffee.  The Chinese tiler, Hunter advised he could'nt complete our ensuite as the feature tile was not delivered as yet.  He should get that by Monday and then the wall tiles will be done.  The cream tile will be laid horizontally.

Love our kitchen splash back tile.  It is a large glass tile, 600 x 600mm which will be laid horizontally.  It has silver metallic flecks embedded in it.  The colour changes between a dark brown and black depending on the lighting.  I asked for charcoal grout as well to keep the continuity of the colour as much as possible.  Tiling will continue up to the bulkhead. The same tile will be used as a splash back for the butlers pantry sink.  Hunter couldn't lay these tiles either as the bench top needs to be installed first.  He told me SS has been advised of this as well.

BTW, these cupboards are a light creme, my
camera makes it look pinkish.

So we expect the bench tops to be installed before the weekend.  The carpenter has to also return to complete the architrave for the sliding cavity door to our walk in robe.  The tiler needs this done so that he can tile around the architrave.  Very happy with the tiling done by the friendly Hunter.  He looks like a Chinese rock star with his long hair.  Even has the name to suit.  Looking forward to next week and the completion of the tiling.  Whats next?  Painting maybe....
