Tile Selection - Problem Solved

Another trip to DiLorenzo with our trusted colour consultant, Robyn, as helped solved the issue of the discontinued tile for the ensuite floor. There was really only one tile in the current range that we can possibly use with a good colour match. Here it is (bear in mind this is poor quality photo taken with a mobile phone):
This tile has more a brown tone than our original choice but it works well with the other colours for the ensuite (all our colours have some earthy tone).

This tile misadventure turned out to be a blessing at the end of the day. We went back to the carpet shop (Accent) to borrow the sample of our chosen carpet and match it with the tile (junction between the ensuite and the bedroom). We found out that the colour code noted on our order form was incorrect! I am glad we see that before they order the carpet. Imagine the drama if we had seen this only when the house was completed!

Funnily at DiLorenzo I inadvertently swapped our carpet with someone else's (both were very similar). Robyn picked up this mistake when trying to match with the tile. Again, our colour consultant has been of invaluable help. Thank you, Robyn!

I also noticed the bathroom vanity, which we moved outside the bathroom, does not have any tile splashback. This is not a very good idea with children. Fortunately we can still add this (it will be billed directly by DiLorenzo).

Here is another of my 3D rendering. This time, it is the bath in the main bathroom:
