Last week we went from this:

To this:

Yay for tile! When we bought our place almost 2 years ago it had an ugly and annoying little rip in the floor in the kitchen that we were told was unrepairable. Last week we had all of the vinyl flooring in our house covered with tile! We did some shopping around at a few places and ended up buying the tile through the same place we bought our carpet. We went with 18″ tiles downstairs and 12″ tiles in the two bathrooms upstairs.

We picked a darker grout than what they put in, but by the time we realized it we decided it wasn’t worth having them take it out and redo it, we didn’t want to deal with that mess! We like the grout they used, just wanted the darker one so it wouldn’t show dirt as much. It still turned out very nice!

We considered doing the install ourselves (well, it was mostly just me that considered it), but Jodi wanted it to get done quickly and right the first time. The guys that put it in did an excellent job and completed the job in 3 days, several weeks faster than it probably would have taken me!
