We have huge artwork that I will hang in the hallway. We have had it for 20 years and hubby says it won't go, but I think it will. Have posted on my page. The price for the rendered garden beds is great. I have seen some ridiculous prices out there. I will definitely give him a ring. Yup he (Jamie) is pretty good. Hubby helped him dig the footings and make up and pour the concrete to save him getting in a labourer to save us money, so it might be a little bit more expensive. Hopefully not too much though π Re: Coral Homes - Modified Grange 29 310Jun 13, 2018 2:31 pm Dylandbrooke bestspecials I googled the easycraft easyascot panels and they will add a nice feature to your hallway.

Re: Coral Homes - Modified Grange 29 311Jun 13, 2018 2:57 pm I can't wait to see you and bestspecials front gardens! Re: Coral Homes - Modified Grange 29 312Jun 18, 2018 11:24 am Brooke, did you at all happen to get a photo of your kitchensplash back before it was grouted? My brain is still stressing out on whether to go the lighter grey or the darker grey grout. And your photo may help since you have the same stone colour as us I'm paranoid the herringbone pattern will look EXTRA busy with the darker grey, and maybe the lighter grey wouldn't take away from the marbling as much ugh, this kitchen splashback will be the death of me i swear haha Re: Coral Homes - Modified Grange 29 313Jun 18, 2018 2:51 pm CC7 Brooke, did you at all happen to get a photo of your kitchensplash back before it was grouted?

Just checked my photos and... nothing. Eeeek i hear ya with the greys.... i think I'd go with the lighter grey for both. Ill be doing our laundry splashback (same marbley brickbond tiles as our kitchen) in the lighter grey grout... can change it more easily if you decide to change to darker grout afterwards. Excited to see your herringbone tiles π they'll look stunning!!!!

I think after my post to you i was 70% set on the light. lets just hope our tiler actually contacts us before he starts, and doesn't have a problem with getting the lighter grout even though the darker one is ready to go haha. I think it will be safer going with the lighter grout, and it will still show off the herringbone lay thank you for your help Re: Coral Homes - Modified Grange 29 315Jun 18, 2018 3:38 pm CC7 Dylandbrooke CC7 Brooke, did you at all happen to get a photo of your kitchensplash back before it was grouted?

Im paranoid the photo I took in beaumonts is a different grout colour, or the in store lighting is making it seem lighter, and also the grout lines seem wider than the norm??' worried ours could turn out darker than that i cant remember what else i rambled about... oh i said that our original tile selection was those marble herringbone tiles, but it was way too expensive for us, so this is the tile the woman suggested. So really the darker grout would really make the herringbone pattern the focus still paranoid that the tiles, with herringbone WITH the darker grout would make it look busy or heavy. but also, all our cabinets are white, and we will have a darkish timber dining table, with black legged kmart stools under the kitchen bench, and also those glass feature doors like you have will be stained dark (pantry next to the kitchen) so maaaaybe the dark grout wont look so heavy after all?? i think maybe i have to take a risk and i'll either nail it, or i'll f it up and at it will be a reference for future people wanting to do it in herringbone? lol i was hoping the tiler would have messaged us today so we could get this over with. im stress eating over this, it's so damn silly lol. need to get this sorted... so i can start obsessing about roller blind colours HAHA.

Lol my browser has refreshed itself at times and ive lost photos and paragraphs too! So annoying!!!!π§ I think that you need to go with your gut - or go for what you first liked!
