Do you have a photo of the exterior you can share? It was mentioned in another thread about how well colorbond colours work together. For example; paperbark and gully.

thanks to everyone for your helpful comments! I was going to have to pay around $190 for 6 more, but will order them from Beaumont who have a 25% sale on at the moment. I agree that I need to just live with the cost and finish the job properly, but your shortcut suggestions were all really interesting and much appreciated. And archimondo, I'd say it's like having a kangaroo loose in the top paddock.

Looks like the same tiles we used on our bathroom floors, a few walls, pool coping etc

Hi Betty, You'll need to start with choosing your floor tile (if you are after a pattern) then choose either a complementary or similarly toned wall tile in a plain colour. Wall tiles are usually cheaper and not as hard wearing, but to get good colours - I'd suggest you go to a retailer that has a range of Spanish or Italian tiles. Many of those 20cm x 20cm square tiles are concrete (encaustic) and will need to be sealed - adding to the cost. For concrete tiles try jatana tiles and for wall tiles try classic ceramics - they have loads of colours. If you want to do a unique look like this - ask suppliers about lead times and work ahead. Many of the better quality and uniquely beautiful tiles are not available just off the shelf. But they are worth waiting for if you plan. Good luck!
