We were going to have a white subway tile (we will in butlers pantry) but we will have smoked glass as the kitchen splashback Re: Building with Simonds in Adelaide 19Apr 30, 2016 6:30 pm Lovely design! Love your choices following along. Re: Building with Simonds in Adelaide 20Apr 30, 2016 6:51 pm Nice choices. I think the dark metalic tiles and wall tiles are the same as ours. ?
