Serious bargain of the year!
Ok so while looking for an alternative to encaustic tiles Fred found some for sale on Gumtree for $20 a sqm!!!
Now I know that I said in my last post that we’d not been too happy with the encaustic tiles in the upstairs bathroom. But anyone who knows how much encaustic tiles are per square metre knows that for $20 a sqm is a seriously good bargain.
Today we’re grouting.

Yes, I appreciate your bargain. They are absolutely gorgeous. But you are a sucker! Happy cleaning!
LoL!!!!
Keeping the tiles clean will be a challenge!!!
My understanding is that a Gurney (high pressure water cleaner) will work well. Men like these things. So I was told by my architect. Male architect.
Absolutely!
We actually used ours a few weeks ago to give the bathroom tiles a good clean. Quite a task in itself to get the house up through the second floor bathroom window. But well worth the effort.
They look fabulous. Good job.
Thank you Beverley.
I think the tiles are beautiful!
Thank you Elizabeth! Too good to pass up.
Oh cool, nice bargain and I am sure this space will look really nice after these tiles.
An amazing bargain Maria. I will post an updated photo once we’ve finished the area.
I love the tiles. Sometimes aesthetic tops all.
Hello Rosietta. We love the tiles too. It will be interesting to watch how they weather too. This area gets very hot in the Summer. They’ll probably fade a bit. Gives the house character I think.
Simple and neat bathroom, does it have enough storage space. I like the grey walls. Nice to have a functional bathroom at last I guess after that 4 weeks of wait for the toilet.
Hi there Maria
Yes we’ve got lots of storage in this bathroom. We bought an old cupboard and gave it a paint. Its just the right size for everything.
I have a new book on my Kindle. And a fresh bottle of vodka. I can come and try out your new porch. Just saying. I’m available. *grin*
Enjoy. It looks #FabWow!
Ha Ha omg that reminds me!
OMG – The Lovely Bones. I’ll grab it now!!
Hello Fellow dweller in Brissie! 😊 These tiles are stunning and you HB is rather clever building that bench/shoe storage!
Thank you Maxine. He’s a primary school teacher during the week and a super duper DIYer on the weekends and school holidays.
They are stunning tiles!
They look so classy & expensive!
i have waited for years to finish our front verandah and your tiles are my inspiration. The artisan range (winchester) is similar but the colour is the pattern where yours is white which looks amazing. what sort of tiles do i search for please
Hello there
Thankyou for getting in touch with me. These tiles are Encaustic, they’ve been laid for over a year now and survived their first Australian summer! They’ve not faded at all.
Tiles design so beautiful.Thanks for sharing the photos Renovation Kuwait
