I was a little bit like a kid in a candy store!.We started out by choosing a shiny white subway tile to go all around the room, halfway up the wall.

We used the beveled version so it would have more of a historical feel and fit in with our old farmhouse.On top of that we ran a little strip of marble mosaic tiles in a brick pattern and topped it off with a chair rail, also made out of tile.I also got pretty excited about the whole marble thing and decided that the whole wall behind the vanity would be amazing if we did a marble mosaic in a herringbone pattern.

Well, that sounds easy enough until you get to the edges and realize that you need to figure out a way to cut each individual teeny tiny tile into a little mini 1/4 inch triangle with the tile saw.I’m just lucky that Chris specializes in ridiculously meticulous tasks like that!… and about 20 straight work hours later, we had a tiled wall!.

The floors were also a bit of a finicky tile because of their giant size.

We sure know how to pick ’em!Does anyone recognize what that is?.

It’s a. paint can opener.It’s just the best because you can use it to either push the mud off, or you can use the little curve on the end to pull the mud if that’s easier for the angle you’re working from.

It really speeds the whole process up and allows you to get large amounts of mud off your boots really quickly.. It’s the perfect tool for this job and I’m so glad I figured this out by semi-accident one day.It really makes a difference in my life.
