DIY Mudroom in a Weekend
Now that we've added an overhead light fixture to the mudroom, we only have to wait on installing the new door, some wallpaper and some locker hooks for the project to be completely done! We're so...close...! As we've shared our progress, I've gotten some questions about what to do if you want to get a […]

Make Tile the Focal Point In Your Home!
With the recent reveal of Greta's bathroom, the obvious star of the show is the tile. That bathroom is dressed in gorgeous tile head-to-toe (our most intricate tiled space to date)! Oftentimes, I think tile is mistakenly seen as the supporting actor, but I always consider it to be the lead character. The tile you […]

How to DIY your Own Penny Tile Patterned Floor

All the Details About the Stone Checkerboard Floors In The Dining Room--They're Finished!
The dining room floors are done and we're in love! We went with a checkerboard pattern on a diagonal using a more natural-looking stone (as opposed to a stark black and white), but they're actually matte porcelain tile from Bedrosians! They are oozing with character and feel warm and bonus, are super durable. We originally […]

Adding Marble Flooring to the Master Bathroom
Our bathroom floor is installed, heated, grouted and I’m over-the-moon with the outcome. When we were deciding what we wanted to do for our bathroom floors, once it clicked that our shower shouldn’t be marble (but a beautiful, varied green tile), it was clear our floors should be marble. I really envisioned something large format […]

The Tile Combination for the Girls' Bathroom
We really hoped to have the tile up on the walls of the girls' bathroom to show you today, but we had to backtrack on a couple things before we could do that, along with some health complications the past two days, set us back again. We still have a goal to be completely done […]

A Fresh Take on a Classic Tiled Backsplash
The backsplash is in! Last week, after we put the girls to bed, Chris and I tiled the whole back wall of the kitchen and a little bit on the left sink wall. It took us about 8 hours total over a few nights, including grouting which is nothing compared to the 20+ hours it […]

The Tile Shop Shoot!
Before we focus all of our efforts, and posts really, on the new house that still isn't 100% ours (the whole thing is quite ridiculous--hopefully we'll all have a good laugh about it next week #nervouslaughter), there is one last crowning, whirlwind event that took place at our last house to cover. A photoshoot of […]

That Hampton Carrara Marble Backsplash--Done-zo!!
The tile is finally finished! The last time you saw it, we had just finished the installation process of our 3x6 Hampton Carrara subway tiles, which took us over 20 hours. Grouting went faster, but we ran out right before we left for Idaho. It was torture to be so close. But when we arrived […]

Hello Marble.
We had a wonderfully busy weekend tiling our hearts out in the kitchen. We've been waiting for the tile to come in (it was on backorder) and so when we arrived home from our most recent trip the same time the tile arrived, it was like marble Christmas waiting to get our hands dirty. Before […]

Variations of White Subway Tile
We really thought our kitchen could use a touch of robin egg's blue. Jokes. I just quickly photoshopped all of the area that we're planning on tiling so you can get a visual. The whole backsplash area and around the pantry. And, of course, the other side of the fridge as well. We have always […]
