The Add-On Project

Everyone talks about during a remodel that there is often the "add on" project that you decide to add in the middle of everything else going on.  Although we knew this could happen, we were hoping just to replace a few that had cracked around the edging of the tile pan under our washer and dryer.  However, when the tile guy came and looked at it, he said that they didn't make that type of tile any more--shaped and molded to edge a tile pan that high.  They don't build them the same way anymore. I had looked in the past for replacement tiles, so I wasn't surprised to learn that.  So we ended up ripping the whole thing out and this was our replacement.  I love penny tiles and found this one that is approved for floors.  We grouted it in greys to match the floor tiles (and to hide the dirt that will find its way in there over the year between spring cleanings.) I love how it turned out.

When the tile guy came, he realized that there wasn't quite enough to do the edging the way he wanted to do it and asked me if I could run to get some bigger white tile for the baseboard part. As I was getting ready to do that, I realized that the floor in our bathroom might work perfectly and we had extra pieces--7 to be exact and it took 6.  It looks perfect--like we designed it that way.

 And now the laundry room is dry and back to working--

Now we truly have some tiny things left and our remodeling project will be officially DONE!!  It hasn't been too bad, but it is great to live upstairs and open my windows and blinds each morning and close them at night like a "normal" person. So nice....
