And to you, and to Chook too, of course. Sydney just has the best fireworks, doesn't it? Though I'm glad that Mr Dog and I don't live there. It'll be rough enough here. Row, I think you've done a great job. Yes, the roller blind may no longer live in that room. Thanks for sharing the other pics -- see, you were dreaming of pattern on walls before I came along.

Tumbled marble might look out of place if it's the only natural texture in the room. If you want to keep a similar contemporary mosaic, then 2 things for you; Firstly, measure for yourself the actual mosaic sheet - don't take the written dimensions as gospel. Secondly, once you have a couple of favourites in mind, take a look at tile trims to incorporate with the mosaic. Remember, you can cut the mosaic sheets into thinner strips. Trim could be square edge tube style trims or even L shape angle in either aluminium or chrome and can be used at the sides of your mosaic or, in the case of the angle trim, used in multiple vertical lines running through the mosaic. Knowing the dimensions you have to play with will make it easier to design a solution that keeps grout width to appropriate size of 2-3mm for wall tiles.

Hi Tina, thanks for posting, it is all looking great. Shame about the panelling, but sometimes these things happen for a reason. It is great the armoire matches the doors so well when they are all on one wall, but I don't think you need to have the bed and side tables matching, especially when they are on another wall. My issue with painting furniture, while I love it, is the maintenance. It does chip over time and becomes one more thing to paint. I don't know what the timber is in your furniture but another possible option, especially to give you the coastal vibe is to lime it. To do this successfully, you will need to sand all the existing stain off it and go back to the raw timber. The darker the original timber, the less limed look you will get so bear that in mind too. I did an old bunk bed up that had seen better days, for my grands bedroom. It was a dark red wood, but with 4 coats of stain I got the look I was after which was that driftwood/coastal look. The whole thing looks totally new again. Sorry I can't post a photo as this function no longer works for me. Have a look at the Feast Watson range of liming stains, they have some gorgeous soft colours as well, but they let the timber show through rather than having the solid painted look. It is a very easy product to use, it dries quickly - I did the 4 coats over 2 days effortlessly. The hard work is in the sanding.

Ania, can you post photos when it is finished. It will be good to see those colours combined. I also love that inspiration photo and have it saved. I don't know what particular thing makes that bathroom stand out but it is beautiful. I want those exact same colours in my bathroom but a too scared to use timber tiles as I am scared they will date so am bringing in timber via accessories such as picture frames (I think). What is the grey tile in your photo and where is it from...it is very nice.
