Fabulous floor tiles

When we eventually build the dream house we will most likely be having tile floors, I really would like timber, but it works out more expensive than tiles....depending on the tile you use of course!

I love the colour & the pattern they have used to lay these tiles, but I am guessing they are probably travertine, which is also out of my budget.....

I'm sure I will be able to find something that looks similar in either porcelain or ceramic.I know I will definitely be able to achieve the look colour wise with something less expensive.

But then I guess I will be pushing the labour costs up by going for a more technical lay out,but it is certainly worth looking into.


It really is challenging trying to create the look you love with a budget, I appear to always be drawn to the most expensive things.
When the dream guy & I go looking at house things the conversation usually goes like this...
Me " Ooh I like that!"
Dream guy "Of course you do, its the dearest one there!"

What can I say... Lucky dreaming is free!!!

So, do you have any fabulous advice for me on floor tiling, its always greatly appreciated.

A gorgeous bedroom


I stumbled across these pics of this extremely serene bedroom at Home & Garden & felt I should share it with you all!!!


I'm loving this very comfy looking chair, what better place to sit & enjoy the view....


2 beds !!!
 Does one belong to my sister or is it somewhere for my bestie to snuggle when she stays over....


Wouldn't it be lovely to wake up to this pretty blue ceiling!!!

A very subtle use of colour & pattern to create a pretty but versatile room that would suit any age.

A very inviting bedroom, don't you think ?
