Carrelage

These lovely "vomitus" coloured tiles are staying in the bathroom (I apologise to future occupants of the house). I haven't planned to replace them. They might be ugly but good quality and still very much stuck to the wall. I will try and liven up the bathroom atmosphere with some clever use of wall painting...
However, I couldn't bring myself to keep those in the kitchen. It would put off anyone from their food. So we will use a classic cream and blue tile. Those are hand made and sold by Courboissy, the tomettes people.
Mr M was supposed to do the tiling but there was some delay... so we are hiring someone else. And it is a woman, une carreleuse. Lets call her Ms C. Totally different than working with men. We had a good "chat" about how the tiles was gonna be placed, the joints (colour and size)...and we seem to have a plan. Waiting for her final devis.
