Dream house bathroom progress

Well the dream house is progressing to the point where it is almost ready to begin.

 

Just waiting on a few more quotes to arrive for final costing & the surveyors to come & peg a few things out so all of the floor levels are perfect.

 

I have to say I am ridiculously excited at this point & cant wait to see some  dirt getting dug up!!

 

I have pretty much finalised the bathroom, ensuite & laundry selections with the vanities & laundry cabinets designed & quoted, the tiles are all quoted & just waiting on a quote for tap ware toilets & bathtub.

The only choices left to make are the light fittings & blinds, but there is no immediate rush for those,

This is my inspiration for the bathroom & I have been fortunate  enough to find a ceramic basket weave tile just like the ones in the pic. I will also have the white border tile.

 

 

You guessed it, white subway tiles on the wall with a nice white capping tile. There will also be a strip of pencil tiles just to add a little more interest as I have gone white for everything.

You can check out more of my home inspiration here on my 

Pinterest boards.

 

I will be having two recesses in each shower to store all of the necessities.

 

 

 

My vanity designs have been drawn up & will be custom built by Planit Kitchens who are also doing the kitchen & laundry.

 

 

A close up of my floor tiles, I found these babies at

Jacoba Tiles which are one of my local tile stores, you can read about my last attempt a sourcing tiles locally here

Price wise they were very reasonable which made me very happy.

 

Lets hope it all comes together as I am imagining it !

 

Any advice or suggestions gladly accepted as at this point it is all just quotes,nothing ordered so its not to late to change if I am making some horrendous design faux pas.

Bathroom tiles

 

I love everything about this pic & I am using it as inspiration for my dream house bathroom & ensuite

 

 

I will be having some little recessed nooks in the showers to keep all of necessities, you know, shampoo etc.

 

I will be using subway tiles on my walls & I love how these shelves have been framed so nicely.

 

 

 

I would love some shelving like this at the end of the tub.

 I really want a more low maintenance home

 Open shelving in bathrooms & kitchens really do soften a room & give a homely feel to the space, but I can only imagine how much work it would be to keep them looking nice & I don't think I will have the time for that(I will be busy working, to pay for the dream house !!!!)

 

 

Perhaps just a little something like this over the bath, a place to keep the soap, in a fabulous little dish of course & maybe a small candle

 

 

 

On the floor I would love a black & white basket weave style tile  which, here in Australia is going to be a little more difficult & pricier than I expected.

I may have to rethink my floors.

When I enquired at one of the local tile stores the extremely young girl that served me, looked at the pic on my phone & promptly informed me that

 "No, we don't stock those, because NO ONE would buy them!"

It was about then that I decided I wouldn't be spending my thousands of dollars on tiles in their store or using their tiler to lay them...very offensive, I thought!!!

 

I am waiting on quotes for my vanities, kitchen & laundry fit out so I will be sure to share the designs with you as soon as the drawings are back.

 

So any thoughts or suggestions are welcome as well as supplier details for these lovely floor tiles.

 

All of my images are from my pinterest board, pop on over & check it out if you like!!!

 

Have a fabulous day everyone

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.
