Do you know the difference between a condominium and a condovilla? I was told that our new home is actually a condovilla and not a condominium. Hmm...condovilla... it does have a nice sound to it (makes us feel like we are staying in some islandic location) but due to its moorish style built-up, we felt like we are in Spain! (right...Cindy is being dramatic again...)
I'm already counting down the days when we can move in. Renovation has started and yesterday, we went tiles shopping. I never took any interest of it until yesterday. There were so many designs, styles, characteristic & brands! My FIL being the expert in this area advised me on what brands to pick and finally we settled on:-
a)White Horse Ceramic for the kitchen (double coloured wall tiles brown + white with simetric border design and matching brown floor tiles) - since we have a light maple brown built-in kitchen cabinet, we chose a matching wall and floor colour for it (Dad, did I mention the colour of the cabinet correctly? I'm still unfamiliar with these colour names - wood comes in soooo many variety of colours!);
b) Guocera Tiles for the guest washroom (whitish blue wall tiles and blue floor tiles to match with the existing blue mosaic feature wall), and
I couldn't find the exact tiles that I have picked (but these pictures would give you some idea about my descriptions above). Lets just wait and see how it all will turn out in the end. The living room and bedroom tiles have already been selected . What else have we left out? The balcony...!
Tiles shopping can be fun! Home furnishing would probably be better! After the reno is complete, it will be furniture shopping time!
