The Kitchen: Tiling

For the tiling in the kitchen I managed to find some really good card stock tiles that look quite authentic. I purchased it from the U.K. as I wasn't able to find anything as good in Australia. 

They were easy peasy to install, just cut & paste - kindergarten 101!


Once I glued them down I also taped them for a few hours to ensure they adhered properly. I couldn't wait to pull the tape off! 



I changed the height of the tiles around the room to suit the furniture I will be putting in, and to also add some interest to the design of the room. I am happy with the end results and hope the next thing I do is as simple as cut & paste ;-)

  1. Hi Kate! I must say that these tiles look just like the real thing and I love the way they look installed on the walls. The combination of the color of the floor and the repeat on the upper half of the walls with the subtle hit of the same in the patterned tiles, makes a perfect harmony and adds a lot of interest and action while still keeping the room in control. A great look!
