Facade Tiles!!!! Eco Alabster Grigio Lappato Porcelain

I have definitely been in love with a lot of things in this build but this one has really got my heart racing. You know how a cat (I'm not a cat person at all, in-fact I kind of detest them...!! sorry cat lovers) anyway, you know how a cat rubs up against something and it's tail lifts up and it gets all warm and fuzzy, well that is how I feel when I see our facade tile!! I just want to run up to them and touch them and purr!!! I'm so happy with our facade and our colour choices. When you choose your colour selections, it's so hard to envisage it all. We didn't want anything over the top or something that would date. We decided that warm neutral colours would be the best. We feel like the render colours have come up really well. They are light but with enough contrast and variation and I love that the tiles almost match the Hog Bristle Half render colour. They don't stand out but because of their colour variation and look/feel are a sutble feature without being in your face! That is what we were hoping for anyway - everyone obviously has a different taste, but we are super happy with it all!

Loving the Tile Variation

The tiler has done a great job at making sure the tiles are layed with the greatest of variation. We opened a box of tiles to see what they looked like and a lot looked to have a similar pattern, but on the pier they all look so varied and different. LOVE THEM!

Finished Tiles!

Up Close and Personal

Tiles also have metal trim

Oh so Close

Dynamic Deco Wood Slimline Garage Door

There seemed to be no action at the house today which was a little disheartening, but the girls and I thought we would stop in and have a look around to get our fix anyway. We were so excited to see the garage door on! Wish the rendering was done though as I fear splashing (might have to put it up, if the renderers or painters don't!!). Is it possible to describe a garage door as sexy...... Well, I will! It looks great and feels nice too!! Really happy with the colour as it was one of those colour choices that we were a little unsure of and did extra investigation in. It's a Dynamic Deco Wood Slimline (tuscan) door in Bush Cherry. When we saw the colour with the word 'cherry' in it, we worried it would have a reddish tinge. I door knocked on garage colours I liked and the name popped up a few times (also on displays) so we ran with it. Really happy with the result and think it will look great against the render and tie in nicely with the front doors once they are finished. It's amazing what you fall in love with and get excited about when building; first gutters, now a garage door!

Looks a bit lighter in this photo - but you can see the variation in colour

Ha! Only someone with a new garage door will be remotely interested in these photos!
