Balcony painted...


Looks much better, eh... though still don't think the 'lapstone' cladding colour is much lighter than the 'jasper' roller door?

Aaaaaaaaand, the shutters still need to be painted white...

And the green doors is now a blue door, but still needs to be painted :)



My, sorry, our, widdle balcony...

A glimpse of the side cladding colour - though the sun is v bright!


There she is - balcony railing still to be painted (white)...


The cladding colour's a little darker than we anticipated, so wanted to check it against the roller door, which is in fact, darker. Good :)

They've changed the shutter inserts to white, but still need to paint the shutters...
Our purdy windas...


From the side - see, yes, quite dark!

The risk-taker...


Okay, firstly, how good is the ensuite looking!!! Mind you, they still need to change those black louvre/shutter fittings...




Now for the risk-taking!! I had 'a vision' with this room and wanted to go "the whole Moroccan hog", but also keep it modern and not too "out there" so it would stilll suit the rest of the house... and Paul wouldn't feel too uncomfortable in 'my', I mean, 'our' bathroom ;) So, wanted to go the full mosaic tiles... LOVED these ones, but wasn't sure if they'd work on the full bath face. These are mostly used as feature tiles/border tiles, etc, and I was trying to find pics where this had been done before, but couldn't find anything. I've seen heaps of mosaic baths that have the traditional tiny squares (which I like), but none using this uneven pattern all over it! We weighed it up and even at the last minute, I went back to 'reconsider'... but ended up sticking with the original plan. And hey, it doesn't hurt to be different!

And, well, so far, I love it!!!!!! The floor tile will run along the top and once it's grouted, the bath is in and when we get our white shutters, I think it will look ACE!
