floors, tiles, sinks

My interior designer and I have chosen most of the materials needed to start renovations.

In an attempt to mimic these real cement floors:

We chose this grey porcelain floor tile (60x60 cm) for the kitchen, living room, corridor and workroom:

Ceramic floor for the bedroom and bathrooms:

Or maybe this one:

Wall tiles for the guest bathroom (mostly the grey. The cream will be used only on one wall - where the toilet is):

Sink for the guest bathroom - we found something identical to this one:

Sink for the shower room (the hidden drain feature is cool right?) - but with a different faucet:

Shower - something like this one, but without the "tub" on the floor:

I have yet to find wall tiles for the shower room, but it shouldn't be too hard to find tiles that look like these:

White doors (bedroom, workroom, shower, bathroom):

Hanging toilets (they don't touch the floor) - we liked this one:

Kitchen sink - something large and standard like this one:

Formica for kitchen cabinets, and a counter top:

Here are some views from the first draft of the 3D floor plan (all photos are (C) Michal Fishler-Katz). Updates to come.
