mmjau - on your other thread you implied that you are not in the US so can't access Longfield Gardens. Can you say where you are? Otherwise you might get more suggestions you can't use.

@samuelzmom @angharad_musladin Hoping either of you or anyone can offer some advice. I read this thread before I ordered my weathered white zellige tile from cle but I ordered anyway in hopes of achieving my own swoon worthy zellige kitchen to match what I see all over social media. I’m in the middle of my install and now panicked. The color feels totally wrong - my lot seems most white/cool tones. I understood the tile had high color variations but I thought that meant high variation between my 19 boxes - that I would have a mix of white, cream, pink pink, and blues. I don’t know what to do now. Will grout improve this? I’m realizing there aren’t a lot of pre and post grout examples out there. Is this a trust the process type thing? My kitchen feels like a cartoon. Is this normal? LOL My samples are on the countertop for reference. They were much warmer (what I hoped for).

@Lorna - I LOVE your red oak floors! Would you mind posting more photos of them? It would be helpful to see them in different types of light. Also, would you mind describing the process you used? I’m not familiar with Ciranova pink blocker or silk Titan. I would also love to see photos of your completed kitchen! ;) Also - would you mind posting some photos of your backsplash with natural light and from different angles? I’m looking for a similar color tile for one of my bathrooms! @Kristy Leigh - I would also LOVE to see photos of your completed kitchen. Based upon the ones you posted a couple months ago, I bet it looks AMAZING!

"...there are adjacent colors and I thought I would LOVE them MORE than the turquoise, but when I put them in the room, they are not as beautiful (to me). My struggle is when I see pictures of the more muted colors, I think they are beautiful, truly....BUT...when I am making my choices, my heart always goes for COLOR, lots of it. haha" I feel like you already have your answer, from your own keyboard. My personal philosophy is to try to avoid choosing things you love that are super on-trend (that is infatuation- not love), and try to avoid choosing things that feel 'meh' to you now, because you are worried about what you may or may not like 10 years from now. Be brave. In 5 years, you can look at that wall of turquoise and have a constant reminder that you had the courage to live boldly follow your heart. (disclaimer- this advice comes from a person who drove to a car dealer in another state because they were the only ones within 400 miles who had the car I wanted in mint green. And every day that mint green car makes me smile.)
