The Floor

Something you possibly weren't expecting, and that possibly isn't interesting, it's a tour of the floors of our house. All of which I am very fond of.

The living room:These Switzies love their wooden floors. It's the same in the bedroom and the spare room, and all of them are VERY SQUEAKY. There are also some really big gaps between some of the boards, which is handy for sweeping. Instead of using a dustpan and brush to pick all the crud up, you can just sweep it into the gaps! No, really!

The hallway: This is lino, which as far as I can tell judging by other people's places is not normal at all. I love it. It's so retro and dorky and excellent.

These are the kitchen tiles:I'm a big fan of the small tile look, and I like the multicoloured nature of these ones. We also have these tiles in the bathroom but they are all the same shade of boring not-white so I'm not bothering with a picture of them. Instead, you get ...



.. a picture of these tiles: which are on some of the walls in the kitchen and some of the walls in the bathroom (and not the floor at all), and how super are they? I love the fact that everything in our flat is so brown and olden-days-ish.

Thanks for your post. Tiling is one of the more creative and fun parts of designing your kitchen. There are so many options to consider when deciding where to use tile, and how to layout your design. The backsplash is probably the most common area tiled in kitchens, but you don’t have to limit yourself. Tiling can be used for countertops and floors, too.
