Hanging house in the Southwest Palatinate - Our House Construction 2.0

Do you happen to remember what color shade that is?

No - and don't forget my mantra that RAL is not Pantone.

In the Palatinate, color tones that reflect the color of the local native sandstone fit well, that is, warm, reddish or sandy tones. I believe a facade color like in the example from 11ant, only leaning more towards beige / sandy rather than cold-grey, could look great on your house – modern, yet still rural/cozy.

Best regards from the Palatinate to the Palatinate!

My suggestions (in post #518) were lilac/saffron or banana/cherry - both clearly not going into cold gray; in post #526 I passed on as a medium the suggestion from the forum on the other side to take example from . On the other hand, for

Yes, I have already asked about Steffi’s façade colors, but unfortunately I no longer know in which thread that was. I like them very much. I have to look for them.

Asuni’s ideas are also to my taste. I can well imagine sand colors.

Honestly, I took your own suggestions as a joke. At least “banana-cherry,” I think that would be too bright for me.

Anyway, news from the construction site:
The other day we came by and everything was neatly swept, and my candy box was on the stairs. That already sparked anticipation in me.
And lo and behold:
Yesterday the tiles were delivered. TILES! It’s almost finished. Oh God, I had already forgotten how pretty the tiles were. I hope our “patchwork” looks as good laid out as I imagine. We really stepped out of our comfort zone there.








For the bathroom floor, we chose Villeroy & Boch Oak Park Chalete, and my goodness, I like them very much. I already found them great in the store, then I forgot about them, and when I saw them on the pallet yesterday, I fell in love again. I hope they look just as good laid out. Otherwise, we left the bathroom like in the old house. So very similar, only the floor will be lighter. In the old house, we had the Bruno in a dark wood color there. Walls remain with Jura Gaia Beige from KeraTeam, which is the cheap brand; the packages say Steuler-Tile Group. And as accents, the mosaic from Jasba Pattern multicolored (42120H).
For the guest bathroom, this time, unlike the last house, we chose almost the same look. It is a bit bigger and has more the flair of a real bathroom (with shower and window). In the previous house, the toilet was very small, and we chose more of an eye-catcher look. This time the same wall and floor tiles as in the main bathroom. Only the pre-wall where the toilet/washbasin are will be an accent wall. For that, I picked out the Spatolato from Bärwolf. Lord, are those expensive, my goodness. When I think about how few “tiles” those are and that we’re paying a 500€ surcharge for it – god forbid it doesn’t look nice. We will pick up this accent tile again in the shower in the shampoo niche.
I’m already so curious what it will all look like when it comes together in the end.

And then there are the big 60x60 Mirage tiles. That’s a funny story.
During the sample appointment, we picked cheap tiles for our utility room/HAR and storage rooms under the garage. For storage and laundry rooms, we didn’t want to spend that much money. The tile dealer showed us a light natural stone tile, 60x60, but very cheap because it was a leftover stock that won’t come back in. We liked it and bought it.
A few months later I got an email that someone had accidentally sold our leftover tiles. The customer came with a trailer and took them right away – they were gone. Of course, I was not at all pleased about that. Being heavily pregnant at the time, I had zero desire to go there again because of one tile type. I politely expressed my displeasure in an email and informed our builder about it via CC. On the phone, he told me he had an alternative that hardly looked any different.
At the construction site, he then showed us both – a broken tile of our old selected ones and the alternative. I actually liked the new one a bit better, so we agreed. He casually mentioned that it would normally be “a little more expensive,” but that we would get it at the previously agreed price.
Last night, we saw the packages and googled the new tiles. Seems like our lawnmower will soon rest on fine Italian tiles that normally would have cost around 70€ per square meter. Nice, so now our heating cellar has the most expensive flooring in the whole house.

Your own suggestions, to be honest, I took as a joke.

I never joke without a smiley, so I find that hard to forgive.

The tiles are all beautiful, it will look amazing! I am absolutely sure about that.
