look what i did today : )
OK—so it was my plan to be all done the tiling on Thursday or Friday and to be grouting today or tomorrow–but for some reason I am behind schedule and am still tiling. Hmmm…
BUT–I really AM close to being done…I tackled the tub today–I am proud of my progress…got all this done AND a trip to the Lowes for more tile : ) I was going to use 12x12s–but after consulting with my design expert (the one in the family that can “visualize” imaginary things)…we decided to go this route–I suspect his “vision” was correct : )
So I had to go down to Bellevue and exchange the 12x12s for 6x6s–that is OK, my back needed a break anyway…
It is crazy that this does not look like much–but it took me pretty much all day!! There were a lot of cuts and the angled pieces on the step were a challenge as they are totally visible against the wall–no baseboard to cover up awkward cuts…
and the view from the privvy…check out my new heat register : )
So tomorrow I put the wall tiles up around the tub and then I am done!! Except for the grouting as Jackie just reminded me. I am planning on using the 6x6s on the walls, just like the steps, with the decorative 4×4 inlays…Yeah–those were fun too!!!
