I am not sure what it is? Shower cubicle? Squares are shelves? If so, the shelves don't look deep enough for a bottle shampoo.

Anyone installed their own stair runner?
Q

Thanks for all the kind words and advice. I only want a runner because I love the look of them and that it still allows some of the wooden 'bones' of the staircase to be displayed. Given that absolutely no-one has said "yeah - install it yourself - it's so easy!" I'm definitely feeling inclined to save up for longer and get it done professionally. I'm currently thinking of going for the wool loop carpet attached in a beige/natural colour-way and edged with a dark charcoal linen border.

Which flooring in our kitchen?

Good morning Hannah, My birthday vacation has indeed started very well thank you. How I am as old as 40 still baffles me, but there we are! I have added the link to the tiles below. You will have to act quick if you opt for them as they are currently in the clearance. Their original price is the same as the Laura Ashley tiles you like, so you are getting a decent tile at a better price. As you won’t need to level the floor, you won’t have too much additional cost, just grout as you say. I love your idea of the grey grout. This will break up the pattern and also not be so prone to discolouration as white grout is. As you have windows/door on opposite sides, I believe the grey choice in carpentry will work just fine. I have a North facing lounge in my own home, which is the darkest room in my house. I started off with a cream leather sofa many many years ago which I had brought from my previous house, however, when it came to replacing it I purchased a very large darkest charcoal L shaped sofa. It works really well and doesn’t darken or over dominate he room. The thing with Design is there are rules, but sometimes breaking them actually creates a far better look. It’s your home and should be something you want to let be in. My only bit of advice would be to consider the wall coverings carefully, not only due to the colour of the kitchen, but also wines that will work well with a patterned floor. Which ever floor you opt for, please post a photo once it is complete so we can all see. https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/harran-tiles-antique-vintage-blue-floor-tiles

Herringbone border advice
Q

Hi Ally, We used Moduleo and I think the colour is blackjack oak. Really pleased with the colour, feel and look. So easy to look after too. In the end I had a border around the edges and I think it looks great, with more of a ‘finished’ appearance as was suggested above. Around the kitchen units and island there is no border and it looks like the kitchen is ‘sitting’ on it nicely. Hope that’s helpful, good luck with it!

Paving for outside - I think grey limestone? They wanted to put the black stuff as shows less marks but it’s a bit harsh so not sure. Getting samples today apparently Just not looking forward to keeping it clean as he messed up and originally told me it was slate (rolls eyes) Just another issue to add to the list! I have to decorate everything myself as the OH wont let me pay for a decorator as I can paint. Boo. It’s just getting the will to do it now, ha ha. Can’t wait for it to be all done though as just want to enjoy it and have some weekends back ;0)

I'm a fan of herringbone design so I'd say it was def worth the extra work. Looks like a really good job too. I do wonder, however if the small recesses would have been better with a different tile (e.g. a bronze or vintage mirrored mosaic) to break things up a bit . Also not sure what the large plaster square is for, or is that still to be tiled?
Looking forward to seeing the finished room.

Nice neat tiling (especially going round the corners) and makes a basic tile look more interesting. I might have just used it on the sink wall and done the shower in bigger coordinating tiles - all over gives too many grout lines to clean!

Looks great so far. Very tidy job. Would love to see it when completed!
