If you have been reading this wee blog for awhile, you will know that my current project, our home, is being decorated in predominantly Black + White. Depending on the percentage of each tone, it could also be described as a White + Black theme. LOL.
I've previously posted HERE and HERE regarding the two upstairs bathroom plans; the main bedroom en suite and the powder room for J and guests to use.
Yesterday, David and I went serious, intention 'to buy' shopping for our en suite floor tiles and came home empty handed. The Calcutta Marble I liked (deep grey veining on crisp white) was too expensive and the stone that was within our budget was too grey overall and just looked smudgy / dirty. Bugger.
Of course in an ideal world, I would have loved these bathrooms to have the same marble as the downstairs rooms for continuity and flow. When we purchased that lot though, we couldn't stretch the coffers any further and unfortunately, we cannot get a match for it.

Trying to get my head around this new, cost-effective solution....I'm back to Pinterest and Googling like a mad woman!

Thank you for stopping by my blog.
You are very welcome and encouraged to comment, I love receiving feedback!
Sometimes being forced to reassess can work out better - like our flooring!! We are so happy with the linoleum, I can't imagine the room with the tiles I originally wanted now.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you carry a theme through it all, it will look fabulous, and intentional. The two bathrooms you've already done are really lovely - on the home stretch now with the upstairs ones! xx
Oh yes the dreaded cost. I love the white marble and pinterest is the best at finding solutions for those problems. Can't wait to follow along and see what you decide…
ReplyDeleteI am SOOO excited to see your home when it's done! I love black and white!
