Went by the house after work. Walked around and looked inside - the tiler has knocked off quite a bit (I tried to get a shot of the kitchen but it was too dark) and only managed to get the below terrible pics. I promise better quality tomorrow.

More piccies from today. We have a garage floor, and a fully tiled bathroom! And I LOVE my bathroom colours; I've been so nervous up until now that it wouldn't all look good together, but I am now relieved

Oh yes, EOFY. Today was CRAZY. I barely stopped all day.
We didn't get to the house before it was too dark to take photos, but I could still see inside - all the grouting has been done and the back bathroom looks AMAZING. I can't wait to get inside and take better pics!! I may have to go there next week during the day to try and get in when a tradie is there

Sorry guys! Not much to report. The grouting has been done and chrome floor wastes are in, but I couldn't take pics on Friday cos it was too dark when we got there, and yesterday I forgot to take my phone! Got back there today and managed to lean in the bathroom window and take some piccies.
I can't wait to wallow around in my own filth in that bath
That's about all I could see! I'm going to the house sometime this week during my lunch break to try and catch a tradie there to let me in - I'm dying to see my ensuite!! Stupid obscure glass window!

I cannot wait to wallow! Will be awesome!
The white tiles look so good now the grouting is done! i was worried about our as we are all white too. I thought it might look plain but it definately doesn't!
Is your floor tile one of the "waringa" ones? stone grey or mocha? Trying to figure out as we have stone grey!
I think our bathrooms are going to look very similar, except we have vertical stripe! And slightly different cabinets... we also got stingy and didn't bother with the feature tiles to the bathroom at all (still have in ensuite), as I had my heart set on the kitchen upgrades... damn you splashback and glass cupboard doors! LOL

Your bath will be AMAZING.
The tiles look awesome with the grouting done. The floor tiles are a dark chocolate brown colour from European Ceramics with a dark grey grout. It looks a bit light at the moment because there is white dust spread over the floor I like darkish floors. Stone grey will look great.
I was going to go with vertical stripe but because the feature tile we chose was only 60mm wide, they would have had to cut white tiles for the wall and that would have made it look uneven. So the horizontal stripe was the compromise.
Your splashback and glass cupboard doors will be totally worth it!!!
