:cool:

Last house I tried painting over them with the tile paint but you could see the pattern so I didn't even try this time.

.

I did the tile paint route and actually it's been quite successful.
It's only a small bathroom, but all four walls tiled so a lot to sort out:eek:
I might manage to get the old tiles off, but then replastering the walls and tiling even just the bath area wouldn't come cheap.

Don't like the tester pot colours now I've done the bath panel and a little corner of the wall between the bath and the sink. Probably doesn't help that Minion swapped out the colours when I wasn't looking and raspberry was replaced with old lady pink and dead mouse brown. :mad: Oh well, it can act as a base coat for something else. Anything else. Except the kid's playground aqua she also suggested. It's going to be white on white if there's going to be any grief about it.

I just want colours that are going to make it look like a place I would want to spend more than a couple of seconds in.
