Have you checked out photos on Pinterest? Yeah we have looked through pinterest its hard to find anything similar to compare it too though :/ thinking a slightly lighter stone to add some contrast or even tiles can look nice?

Good luck 😀 Re: Building the Simonds Cleland 233 in SA 76Jun 11, 2019 1:46 pm Bit of a update guys Tiles have started They will be finished by this week we haven’t been there since they started on Friday so good chance it’s nearly done Rear retaining also nearly complete A little concerned on the bathroom floor tiles the fall he has created but he reckons it’s correct (we will be showing our supervisor and doing a overflow test) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building the Simonds Cleland 233 in SA 77Jun 11, 2019 1:53 pm Bathroom cabinetry and tiles colours look good....and wow your progress is fast.
