The tiles from Johnson in the UK are stunning. It appears they only come in large 30x30 ? I was thinking of doing some sort of tile art just in the middle of the backsplash with the rest just plain offwhite tile. However, with this large 30x30 art work, the background tile would have to be cut to size to fit the area I have and might look too choppy???

Thanks Bigreader, we don’t have a floor plan for the house but the relocated power points, tapware, sink and new dry walls are all happening. We won’t see power cords or washer hoses once it’s done, they will be behind the scenes. Can’t change door hinge on fridge either, we have checked that already, and we can’t extend to buy a new fridge as well as this one isn’t very old and we’ve had to buy a new washing machine as well as the hot water system. It sure does all add up!

Hi Mc10. I bought the Calcatta subway tiles on a mesh and will use this Lithofin MN Stain-Stop Tile Sealer once every 3 years. I’m still in the middle of the kitchen reno but got my marbles and they’re exquisite. https://marbleceramiccorp.com.au/lithofin-sealant-germany/1026-lithofin-mn-stain-stop.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwr-SSBhC9ARIsANhzu16AK7RpYQb4yMtmHougfhBuuiyMAu930aAIj-0gu55tx1mM4dc-IOkaAr-ZEALw_wcB

I have Grey lapparto tiles in bathroom floor and side all and high gloss tiles on wall below window. A bit of gloss is good.
