Terracotta floor tiles





So I´ve been working with the tiles for the kitchen floor. I wanted it to look like a very rustique terracotta tile floor (which helps me hiding how many difficulties I had making it just a little even). I am very satisfied with the color, but maybe the floor got a little too rustique? Or maybe it will look better when the floorpanels are added, and the walls gets done too?

  1. No, it's not too rustic, it's perfect! Is it made of clay? Looks really nice :)

  4. Wonderful!

    Possibly, you can apply a coat of clear varnish. Add the seams and later some color accents.

    The kitchen is beautiful. The chairs are gorgeous.

  5. The result seems to me beautiful and convincing. You may try to write a semi-matte finishes and see if you like the most. But it is better to finish first with the walls, to judge the whole.
    However I like a lot :-)

  6. Very convincing, Susanne :). Flora's suggestion is a good one . Also to protect the cardboard.

  8. Thanks for commenting and the advises!
    In fact it allready has got two layers of matte varnish ;-) And for the color accents, try to enlarge the last picture, its quite dirty and a little more around the stow..
    I have concluded that the walls and the floorpanels will do it..
    Love, Susanne

  17. This looks great, Suzanne! The uneven-ness is the wear and tear over time, which is what makes it rustic.

  18. I think it's good 'as is' too, and I agree with Flora's suggestion not to change anything (if you are tempted to) until you do the walls as well and can look at the floor in a more 'balanced' way :)

  20. Die Fliesen sind toll und schaffen mit den anderen Farben eine wunderbar weiche Stimmung.
    Ganz toll!
