They are tit quality, wafer thin Lino tiles. They’re still not sticking 24 hours later. Your fitter has told you to give up. Yet Bodge It Charlotte still knows best 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄 How anyone can hire her “interior design” (I use that loosely 🥴) services after watching watch she’s doing to that house is beyond me. She should rebrand as “Charlotte Valentine Interiors - looks good with an Instagram filter, but that’s about it” 🤣🤣

And there you have it!! The Proof!! She NEVER takes advice from anybody! If her fitter, who has experienced putting down all kinds of flooring, said no can do, then he must be right! But Nooooo, Charlotte has faith in her unqualified self!!

I came here to say the exact same. A trained, professional craftsman is advising her… someone who will have YEARS worth of experience and knowledge. I’m sure that guy must be feeling slightly insulted to be asked to continue as at the end of the day his reputation and business is being publicly viewed through Shoddy Charlotte and that could ultimately reflect very badly on him and his work.
 
I’m utterly shocked that someone who claims to be an interior designer literally has no idea.

Instead of buying all those animals how about sorting your own home out and investing in it to do it properly.

The reality is she really could have had loads of insta worthy content if she had taken her time instead of being bish bash bosh and rushing everything.
 
Oh Lord those stick on tiles. Like everyone else said why not wait and do a proper job or just find a proper ( cheaper ) ceramic tile even if it’s not exactly what you envisaged. Those stick on lino tiles in an expensive property is equivalent of I don’t know having a Ferrari but transporting a hay in it or servicing it yourself. I don’t know maybe there is a better analogy but if just seems insane that she is botching that potentially lovely property.
 
We used stick on tiles in our barn kitchen and they stuck down really well from the start, however within a few weeks/ months little air pockets appeared in the middle of tiles and pushed the tiles up. Nightmare.
