Tiles.

The tiler has come and gone, leaving four lovely bathrooms in his wake. 

Number 27 Chapman Place (the house with the white iron street-facing facade and the buff 'Koala' exterior paint) has a smooth concrete-toned floor tile, large gloss white wall tiles, and the ensuite bathroom has a green marble strip feature at the entrance to the walk-in shower. This looks really lovely in the light flooding through those louvres.
The glass in the louvred windows in all the bathrooms is frosted... thankfully!
We're echoing the slightly industrial vibe of Number 25 Chapman Place in the bathroom floor tile choice - it's a dark textured tile with a metallic sheen that really glows. After we'd ordered this particular tile we found out that it had featured heavily in a very low-scoring room on 'The Block' - perhaps because they did the walls in it too! We're pairing them with large gloss white wall tiles to keep these rooms feeling light.
We've chosen to go with a covered strip drain for all the bathrooms. It's basically a channel inset into the floor with a covering piece that can be removed for easy cleaning. It has a bit more of a modern look than a regular round floor waste, and means that the large floor tiles don't need to be cut to create 'fall'.
The tiles were all ordered through The Tile Mob at Mitchelton.
