Tonight is the night in which America chooses who will be their president for the next four years.
The television is on in the background, I hear the anchorman talk about exit polls and swing states; meanwhile I am occupied with other choices: what to do with the floor of the storage room!
Not of very much importance to the world, but I decided it is a dilemma that can't be postponed any longer.
Above is the wooden floor I made before
This is a slate floor, made from a paper sheet
As I like to have something to choose from, I also had a go with tiles again.
This time I made the tiles half the height of the ones I made before, and painted them in a terracotta color.
The tiles are of a darker color in real, the flash chances the color a bit.
I guess the wood floor is too dark, I kinda like the faux slate and I also like the terracotta.
I don't want the storage room to look all shiny and new, but old, used and neglected.
So I'll try the terracotta and when it is not to my satisfaction I'll go with the slate.
I also ordered the wine/beer barrels, but they did not arrive yet.
So far, so good.
As for election night, may the best man win!
Hasta la vista!

Hoi Gee, ik denk dat het een goede beslissing is, want de terracotta tegels zien er van alle drie mogelijkheden het minst blinkend en nieuw uit.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenJe kunt misschien een paar tegels breken, dat ziet ook altijd lekker oud uit en natuurlijk vieze vlekken hier en daar :)
Veel plezier !!!
Lieve groetjes Mieke
Hoi Mieke,
Verwijderenik heb inderdaad een paar tegels achter gehouden om te breken :). Dank je wel voor je reaktie/het meedenken!
Groetjes,
Gee
Hello Gee,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love all 3 floors, but I think the terra cotta would go best with the feel you want for the room. One way or the other, each one is excellent work. I can't wait to see which one you chose.
Big hug,
Giac
Hello Giac,
VerwijderenThanks for your input! Tomorrow I will glue the terra cotta tiles on and do some touching up.
I'm excited already to see what it will look like.
Hugs,
Gee
It's the day after and the choice is has been made for a new president for the next 4 years. And how bout you? You'll try the terra cotta? For four years too? :))) I guess it's a wise pick, given your considerations and reflections. Bets of luck with laying them little tiles
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHi Debora!
VerwijderenYes, I'll try the terra cotta tiles first; will be glueing the tiles on tomorrow.
But I can't promise they will stay in place for four (!) years, usually when something is finished I change my mind :)).
Thanks for your post and for wishing me luck
Hugs,
Gee
well good luck with what you decide to do :)

I vote for the terracotta tiles! Thank god the elections are over, I've been too nervous about them to work on my house.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI knowwww... it was nerve wrecking, stayed up 'till five in the morning to see who won.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'd swear I could feel the tension of America through the screen.
Thanks for your vote, John :)
Hugs,

Ik ben heel benieuwd hoe het is geworden! Ik vind ook de terracotta het leukst, maar de andere twee kun je vast ook wel ergens ander gebruiken....
