I've been waiting to pick a wall colour for my dining room until after I've decided what else will be going in the room. One of my biggest problems is what to do about the rather disgusting tile on the fireplace surround. It could be from any time period really, and although I doubt it's of value, I don't want to remove it, simply cover it up. I've looked at some pretty tiles at Fired Earth, but all were the wrong size, meaning I'd have to cut the tiles to fit. Besides which, at up to £24 per tile, I'm feeling les than enthusiastic about their products. Another idea, and one popular in the art nouveau movement is mosaic, so I found a decent looking online stockist called Earth, Wind & Tiles. A-shopping I will go!
