Before we moved into our house (in January 2007) we wanted to tile. We had planned on tiling the kitchen/dining area, 3 bathrooms, and the pantry. My parents came over on New Years Day of 2007 and spent the day tiling the kitchen and dining area. What a way to start out the new year, huh? Well, it looked great and we intended to tile the other areas "sometime soon". That sometime soon came around this last week! Who really cares that it's a year and a half later...and we're still not done. Don't you find that your house projects always take way longer than expected? Thursday night we stayed up until 2:30am trying to get it done. And guess what? We ran out of tile! Ha ha ha. My brother picked some up on Friday morning and we were able to quickly finish Friday night. What troopers!
We did get a good portion done--the master bathroom which looks amazing, and the entryway and bathroom downstairs. I really love them both. I mostly watched as my parents, my bro, and my hubby worked their fingers to the bone. Kevin and I did the grouting, so at least I did something!
Now we just have to tile Rylan's bathroom and the pantry and the tile will be out of our garage and I won't make my parents come tile our house ever again...this house anyways!!
I haven't taken any finished pictures yet because I'm looking for some rugs. Won't the rugs cover up all the work? Well, yeah, but my bathroom won't look complete without rugs and I can't post pictures of the completed bathroom without it looking complete!

Yay for finally getting more tiling done! I wish I could see it!
What a project... I bet it looks great!
Believe me - the work is never done!! Josh and I were just complaining this morning that we could probably each put 10 hours a week into the yard and we would still never get it all done. I won't even get started on all the work that we need to do in the house!! I can't wait to see your finished tile project - I'm sure it looks great!
Yeah for progress, I'm excited to see the finished project. Good luck picking out rugs!
YEA!! I forgot to tell you how great it looked the other day...I really like the color you chose. So, what's next????
