Call me crazy...
I went looking for kitchen cabinets last week and Ihave to say, it’s hard to walk out with any sense of style or accomplishment. I like to think of myself as a stylish person, but after talking to my designer (who tried to steer me clear of too much personality) …. theeasy, passe-partout, bland thing is NOT MY THING!
So after looking at a bunch of blase cabinets, I’ve decided to go for personality in the floor, contemporary cabinets and some simple color and plain tile work for the kitchen. I know you’ll think I’m crazy, but I love this barcelona tile floor! It’ll match our dining room chairs perfectly and go with a dark wood cabinet, stainless contemporary kitchen. whatd’ya think?

Also, nice bathroom tile!
I’m back blogging, with a more tradiitonal palette (thanks to tips from designer #2). Simple, classic and clean.
Trying to keep the number of tiles in the bathroom to a minimum.
I like the way the same stone covers the tubs, floor and sinks.
KID'S BATHROOM:
This multi color tile around the tub like this:
+
white subway tiles for wanes coat + floor 
+
2 small white sinks + vanity cabinets in color TBA + white (paper?) counter tops.
Master Bath Plan 101:
2 white bowl sinks +
an asian style open vanity w sml drawers, probably darker stain +
+
a banner of small tiles to go around perimeter of bathroom. either orange & brown color scheme (below) OR light blue/ aqua.
Floors: TBA - Can we not keep the hardwood we already have?
Wall color: depending on tiles / color scheme.

Faucet: TBA something that looks good w this shape bowl
Walls: mural (see below) with paint burnt orange color?

As my budget is tightening….my eye is liking the minimal look more and more:) I like this white sqaure sink to the left. BASEMENT BATHROOM, what do you think?
Add to that small glass tiles to backsplash and shower. Either a strong green or blue:
