Tiles are chosen

I'd been looking at tiles for a week or two, but hadn't made a decision (it's hard to decide when you're not just choosing for yourself). Then this morning Graham suggested we look at tiles together. The only tile shop we could find open on Sundays was Amber Tiles, so that's where we went. They happened to be having a 20% off sale this weekend.

Louka sat at a table going through the contents of her treasure box and occasionally bringing us coins and polished stones while we looked at tiles for the entrance and bathroom floor and walls. We found a pleasant dark grey tile for the entrance quite quickly, but weren't getting very far for the bathroom. Graham was favouring dark greys while I preferred lighter and warmer colours. Then Graham said something about "blue". But it seemed there were no blue floor tiles. I saw a beautiful dark blue tile, which Graham thought looked expensive, so I went to ask about it. It was a wall tile so I asked if there were any blue floor tiles. At first the salesman said only the little mosaic tiles (which were the wrong blue anyway), then he remembered another one. Among all the grey-brown tiles it looked pale and dull, but when we put it besdide the white wall tiles it suddenly looked much richer. We considered using it for the entrance too, but the dark grey looked better against the deep ocean external walls.

So now we have all our tiles chosen, in one morning. I thought that was pretty good.
