Closer to tile.....I mean "fine"

Being a bit tired from the softball this weekend, I struggled to be too productive today. So I made a list. I'm much better at accomplishing things when I work off of a list. Everything from "call so and so" to "email so and so" to "finalize this" to "check on that" goes on the list. In addition to my work items, I needed to try and finalize a tile for my guest bathroom.

What I opted for, though it's not completely final, is a terra cotta type of tile on the floor with an off white tile for the walls. The terra cotta should go well with the bricks and wood textures and colors of the condo. I'm hoping the contrast won't be too dramatic between the walls and the floor by keeping the texture the same but altering the color.

What do you think folks? Clearly I'm not talented in this area.

Tonight was my last Guitar 1 Repertoire class and we performed Tom Petty's Mary Jane's Last Dance, a song which I had never actually heard on the radio or tv until this weekend on the softball field. That's right, during our game! For some reason, they play music during the games from the field house in Crystal Lake and during our second game on Sunday they played the song. Playing third base, I turned to the shortstop and said, "I'm playing this song for my guitar class on Monday!" He promptly told me to "F@#$%#& pay attention to the game." A little rude I thought.

Anyway, special thanks to dejesus freak who came out to see my performance tonight, or at least was in the neighborhood and stopped in. He was kind enough to say we sounded good, and I'm sure the group did, but I was pretty terrible unfortunately. I can sing, but I just didn't practice enough and I'm a little slow anyway. Oh well, I'll keep playing, but I'm going to take a break from classes for a month or two. With softball travel coming up and the Bears season kicking in, my practice time will be a bit limited.

you think there is some kind of service out there for renting women's innate decorating sense? Plus they love that sh*t so I'm sure the rates would be reasonable. Just to get a second opinion.

I have to admit the terra cotta is making me a little nervous- I'm concerned your bathroom is going to turn out "hacienda"-ish the way you describe, which may clash with the rest of your decor as I recall it. Although it's been a while. I haven't even seen the new toilet in the living room yet.

Does it help stef if I say the stone is terra cotta colored and not actually terra cotta? Maybe not. I see your point.
