Tiles and Backsplash

So we got some tiles put in, in the kitchen, bathrooms, and around the fireplace.

Installing tile is pretty messy, and it is part of the deal that we do all the cleaning up before we move in. So there's that to look forward to. Some time I will post a picture of the current state of the showers. It's unbelievable how messy they can get when no one is using them as a shower. I think they are currently functioning as very large trash cans for the workers.

Henry would not agree to white subway tile, because it reminded him too much of a YMCA gym shower. This was our compromise.

Tiles made the fireplace go from moderately sized to seemingly huge...

If you count each tile when you brush your teeth you'll always get your two minutes in.




We are dying to see how the mirror and that outlet interact.

Once you have the TV mounted and furniture in the room, the fireplace probably will be just the right size! Thanks so much for posting the photos-you moving forward!
