I will contact the source I purchased it from to find out exactly. To be honest, I do not remember exactly! The backsplash is a porcelain and I believe the countertops were a Quartz.

Oh thank you - I would love to know! As, I must have quartz and porcelain as opposed to marble - I just cook/entertain too much to handle the stains and maintenance. Thanks for your time & help!

So, a few thoughts on the bathroom. Sorry, it's a bit of a read, but I have tried to keep it as short as possible ;) 1. I would not choose to spray paint the fixings/armatures, mainly as it would not work (or if, be costly), but also because spraying them gold would make your bathroom even more yellow-y; the cool silver tone of the fixings actually sets off the beige somewhat. So what I think you'd want to do is counterbalance the yellow with another colour, as someone else pointed out. This could be in the realm of blue, as it's complimentary to yellow and will balance it. But I think you could also balance the beige-y-ness with more white (or cream), as found in the ceiling. Which leads to the 2nd question. You could have some paneling put round the bath, there are aqua panels and suchlike, but I would advise make sure a really good tradesperson does the job, so you get it expertly done. It does not hurt to get some estimates and opinions in, to get an idea of what it would cost you. This also leads onto - 3. as it really depends on your budget, how much you change in the bathroom. If you are planning long-term, I'd say it's better to spend a bit more and do a proper makeover, but if the expense would not be justified, stick to a few amendmends to make it comfortable for the time being. You could think about changing the bath for a walk-in shower, for instance and have the floor re-tiled, or finished with another material in a light colour, which would free up space and also balance out the surrounding beige. This way you could also have more storage beside the sink area. If you don't want to loose the bath, you could just have the floor done, I'd say that tiling would be prefereable to painting it - or you could lay vinyl or some other flooring; either of the flooring choices should not be massively expensive, as it is only a small area. 4. Handles can be changed, but I could also suggest changing the whole unit. You could also swap the mirror cabinet for a wall-hung mirror, which would alleviate the awkwardness at the sink (I've seen that so many times!) and instead hang a bathroom cupboard next to it - possibly also open shelving. 5. As to 5. that depends what you'd want to use it for and would require a bit more in-depth analysis. 6. See 1. I would recommend very light, neutral colours, accented by some lush green plants - they always make everything look nicer! But it also depends on your personal taste and what colours you like. As mentioned before, blues and teals would work well, look for something cool in tone to counterbalance the warm beige, but also trust your gut feeling if you see something you like the look/feel of, as it will probably be right for you! So much for now, I hope this helps a bit. Good luck and feel free to get back to me if you have further questions :)

Hi, it looks like the porch roof tiles may have been painted already as the most common colour is Red, and it looks quite new. This is a better colour :- Roof paint Really like the idea of taking out the columns on that wall................much less 'dated' You could even build up the wall if you're going to render. I love the grandeur of the house on the right. Taking the colours in the london brick ( yellow / gray ), I think the slate, green, grey chosen works well with it. I looked to tie in with the one on the right rather than the one on the left. By associating it with the one on the right in colour choice, it makes it look super smart. Here's a before and after that I did on a similar condition property a few years ago. It's the one in the middle. It was a shop at one point, hence the large window at the bottom that didn't tie in with the rest of the house, plus the little wall. Anyway, here's the after pic.

Ok so I was wrong! It is indeed a marble! Calcutta Caldia Marble. I wouldn't use it if you actually use your kitchen for cooking! This kitchen countertop does require a fair amount of maintenance to keep it looking good. I wouldn't use it for myself personally, but some don't worry.
