Cam and I (& Hamish) spent Thursday morning at Beaumont
It certainly helped that Cam and I spent a few hours there last Tuesday and by the time we got started with Julie, our tile consultant we had a pretty good idea about the majority of the tiles.
As we have already upgraded the downstairs flooring to bamboo floors, we didn’t have a huge area to choose tiles for. This was fantastic as Cam and I chose the tiles we wanted with little or no regard to the price. In total we added over $3000 of upgraded tiles but in my opinion it is totally worth getting the tiles you want as they are so difficult to change. Everything was an upgrade except for the tiles on the front balcony.
Here are the selections…

WALL – Gloss White Rectified edge 300mm x 600mm.

Lovely :) Cant wait to see those powder room tiles in action!
ReplyDeleteLooking good! This is one area it pays to get right, as it's difficult to change later and you see it every day. We went for porcelain tiles too and it quickly added up. Shame you pay full retail, not the sale price on these tiles if you weren't going thru a builder :( Hence why we're doing our own floor tiling after handover! Check your quantities very carefully. We were over-charged the quantity of feature mosaics for the shower niche in two bathrooms - almost $1,000! We ended up using them around the vanities, which we really love, but imagine if we didn't use them. I can't say I was impressed with Beaumonts Oakleigh, but the staff at Dandenong are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks P & N. After your comment I had another look at the tile variation to make sure it was all in order... Looks ok. But I guess their tables and acronyms are there to try and make it hard for the customer to know what they're actually getting... Lol!
ReplyDeleteA "win-win," it is! I must agree with what you said about choosing the best one on the first buy… Tiles are difficult to replace (though there are experts who can do it easily), especially if there are lots of tiles to replace. Your choices are great! Good thing you checked some of them firsthand before coming back to purchase.
