Tile tips....

When we moved into Daisy Green cottage, we were so lucky to have an old (and very heavy) roll top bath in the bathroom. There have been some major developments since moving in 12 months ago and there will be a feature article in the magazine in October.

One of the tips I wanted to share now though, is a tile tip.....
White tiles everywhere, are just too boring for words. However, pulling them all off the wall, is both costly on the pocket and the environment (and as dad says, you never know what's behind them!)

The compromise for us was to dot old antique tiles, here and there to break up the monotony of the whiteness.

This was easier said than done, as old antique tiles are much thicker than modern tiles. This meant chasing out half the wall, to make sure that they fit in. Worth the effort as they look fab dotted about the bathroom.

Little tile tip no. 2

I found some tiles at the antique fair - 30p each! They make fab coasters and are currently on the hearth. They don't actually stop drinks getting spilled but still, they look pretty!
