    Hello again Linda.

    I can see your head is all of a spin. Having seen the tiles I don't think the green goes - sorry. I think it's sensible not to have a slate floor either - again sorry. Something light would be better. Maybe the walls would look nice in a very pale shade of grey and then accessorise like Glenw suggests, with a vibrant red or blue. I'm doing my downstairs bathroom grey and white with just a hint of red. I haven't done it yet but in my mind's eye it looks good.

    All this stress for the bathroom. I hope you haven't got more stress coming for the rest of the house.

    Whatever you choose it will be right for you.

    Feel the fear - but do it anyway !!

    Do you need slate on the bathroom floor?In all the DIY programmes on the TV they always advise using a floor covering that is easy to keep clean like Flowtex?

    A friend of mine has your slate in her kitchen and then out onto the patio and she says it is murder to keep clean inside and out because it shows every mark and every speck of dust...

    I would go along with what the others say and do the walls in white and then add the colours in the accessories.Our walls are Magnolia what the builders used,and I hate it.If I had my way all the walls would be white,but Mr Kandy hates white because he says it is too clinical....

    All of our floors are ceramic here and walls white. It doesn't look clinical ... I don't like clinical. I don't know what demon was possessing me however when I chose a white kitchen floor! :eek:

    We planned ahead dq and have a hot and cold running shower on the kitchen patio hooked to the kitchen tap ...

    I miss my baths, however, and just can't wait to languish in one ... heaven!

    We're using Natural Honey, almond liquid soap, and it sits with the shampoos on the BBQ ... where else? As it's next to a herb trough, we could always have a fresh herb scrub! :rolleyes:

When i posted photo`s over three weeks ago i jokingly said it could take a couple of months now its looking that way :eek: will let you see the finished result whenever :D

    Well, rosa, I wouldn't be doing it in the winter here either, and you guys seem to be lingering there ... it's usually 20 degrees or more when I shower, as it will be tonight. :D :D
