Here are just a few bits and pieces. The <span style="color:#cc66cc;">pepto bismol pink</span> bathroom is soon to be no more! The tiler confirmed he's coming tomorrow - yeah! The floors will be 1 x 1 honed cararra marble surrounded by a border of subway carerra. The current pink tiles will be painted white (they don't come into contact with water) and the shower stall will be gutted and white 8 x 10s will be stacked vertically. The shower floor will be matte black hexagons - which I just love!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmcP3-1hs1qJ3eKcyC-7eV787Dv6nax99H7cbw_8cRTiUM8SUoDq5MMggbxD15jH1nhBZszqH2rCDitY8pxDcQtKtkrcSU0JIF0lbbHsdfwEhwGkJLFEd8bLiNuPCob-kEmjzCtp489C-u/s1600-h/atlanta+884+(2).jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379117366982680418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmcP3-1hs1qJ3eKcyC-7eV787Dv6nax99H7cbw_8cRTiUM8SUoDq5MMggbxD15jH1nhBZszqH2rCDitY8pxDcQtKtkrcSU0JIF0lbbHsdfwEhwGkJLFEd8bLiNuPCob-kEmjzCtp489C-u/s400/atlanta+884+(2).jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> The icky 50's fake concrete "stone" in front of the living room fireplace has been painted Farrow & Ball's Down Pipe, along with the previously painted black stone surround.
