Front Hall Done (photos)

The front hall is the first room to be completed. The room is designed to be an airlock between the front door and the rest of the house where wet, muddy clothing can be removed. The tile is one of the few overseas imported elements in the house. They are made in Italy. It is a pattern of 5 colors (of which I used 4), 6x6" with distressed edges and uneven texture like slate. The four colors are: Asia Jaipur Blu (grayish), Asia Rajastan Verde (more brownish), Asia Bangalore Nero (ranges from caramel swirl to all black) and Asia Madras Rosso (which is red).

Sunlight from the front door windows flares on the front hall floor.
