We’re at the point in our kitchen makeover where we need to choose the floor tiles.<\/p>\n
To be honest, we needed to choose them a couple of weeks ago, and now they’re holding up the work.<\/p>\n
We ordered some special replica historic tiles, which looked pretty damn awesome on the website.<\/p>\n
When they arrived they looked pretty… well… shite.<\/p>\n
Kinda like someone had taken a mould of mud and then sent it to us.<\/p>\n
I called them yesterday to find out why they looked so different to the ones on their website, only to get my suspicions confirmed.<\/p>\n
The ones on theb website are waxed and sealed, which completely changes the feeling of them.<\/p>\n
Cool, I just go and get some wax and sealant so I can see what they look like.<\/p>\n
Simple.<\/p>\n
Nope.<\/p>\n
There are lots of different tints in wax. Anything from clear to dark wood.<\/p>\n
FFS.<\/p>\n
Each one of these will have a completely different effect on the tiles and change the feel of them completely.<\/p>\n
Man, when did it get so difficult to choose some floor tiles for your kitchen!<\/p>\n
That means we’re going to be doing a five hour round trip to go to the showroom that makes them so we can see what they look like.<\/p>\n
In fact, by the time you’re reading this we should be on the way back (I hope!).<\/p>\n
Wish me luck.<\/p>\n
If we don’t choose them today then I may just leave it as rubble.<\/p>\n
Have a great day.<\/p>\n
