Tired Kitty!

Luke and I have been going non-stop since we got the house. While it's just amazing what we've accomplished, we are definitely feeling the burn. This weekend, we thought we'd take it easy and redo the tile in the bar. Our notions about how relaxing tiling would be, missed the mark a bit.

A couple weeks ago, Luke and his dad ripped out the dated tile that was in the bar. I thankfully wasn't involved in the project as it looked tedious. Once everything was off, Luke and I found some great new tile

We purposely bought sheets with small tiles so that we wouldn't have to worry about cutting tile. Everything fit in quite well and the laying of the tile wasn't too bad at all. Sunday we put in the grout. As we were about to start wiping the excess grout off the tile, we had to go pick up some kitchen appliances and that took much longer than expected. We didn't actually make it back to the project until 9:00pm at night. That was a big mistake.

The hours of drying meant that the grout had already dried on top of the tile and the "smart" small tiles meant that we have to scrap every single tile to get the grout off. So until about midnight last night, we scraped as many tiles as possible. We still have about 1/3 to do to finish but the hard work is paying off. We love the look!

The rest of the weekend involved more unpacking, some garage saleing and a severe uptick in my hatred of hanging doors and installing door knobs.

COMING UP NEXT WEEK:
Laminate hardwood floors on the main level... a whole new world.
