It would appear that there has been some movement on the condo
restoration front. I was called on Tuesday to arrange to meet with the flooring
company and pick hardwood and tile for my unit and I went over yesterday
afternoon. I have picked it all, and it came in a little under budget, so
hopefully I can use that extra money for something else that might cost a bit
more. I ended up going with a hickory hardwood. It is dark, but not too dark.
It is a really warm colour and I am sure it will be nice.
As for the tile, I only need a bit of floor tile in the
bathroom and the laundry “room”. The laundry room is actually no more than a
closet big enough to hide the stacking washer and dryer. I ended up going with
a ceramic tile with a warm but neutral “marble” look to it. I was also picking
tub surround tile and kitchen backsplash and went with 6x18 subway tile. The
bath tile is a high gloss white tile with a raised repeating texture,
reminiscent of upholstery tufting. There will be a plain un textured tile
running about 5 rows up from the tub all the way around. The kitchen backsplash
is also a white gloss with a raised pattern of miniature rectangular tiles.
I am NOT an interior decorator by any stretch of the
imagination. I have always lived with 2nd hand, hand me down, or
just plain old cheap/inexpensive furniture and all the choices in fittings and
fixtures etc were already made. I have never been in the position to choose my
own style. I don’t even know that I have a style. I just call it shabby lazy, not
to be confused with shabby chic.
In this picture, the wood floor is the darker brown right in the middle, not the paleer wood to the left of it.
