I really desire our beach house to be fully done soon! It’s costing way so much more than we expect it to be. Well, there has been a series of expansions, modifications since the beginning which explains it.
The challenging part is the finishing where I have to choose something that my husband will approve of. For color for example, he knows he wants an earth color that’s calm and cool to the eyes, however brown or beige even white has way too many shades, and taking a photo of a palette doesn’t appear exactly the same way on a photo, and so I could only use best judgement.
For tiles, one has to choose among different sizes, not just design, color and shape. Plus if you have to order a lot than what is on stock, the way a batch of tiles are cooked can look different from the batch you see on the store, when it is delivered, at least slightly.
For wood flooring, my husband considered laminate flooring
but God is good coz we didn’t have to settle for laminate but real planks from a wood called “Ipil” which is termite resistant and stays strong even it gets wet. It’s good for both outdoor or indoor use,
