Tiling Time

It's official, SOLD!
We are completely moved out,
our things are at our new home
being stored in our basement and
Brian and myself are rooming
with his parents for a while!
(thanks Tom and Mariane!)


And for those of you who've been inquiring
about my "baby bump"...... 22 weeks.
                                                           
                                              
So let the tiling begin: Our good friends the Whiteis's
have been a great help at getting us started on tiling!



Amanda and Brian worked on the front
entryway together including the mud room,
1/2 bathroom, and laundry room.
Sydney was also a good help:)

And just because I wanted to have a part
in it and claim some glory too I scrubbed all 
excess grout off and sealed this section! 
(I should probably give the baby some credit
too since he or she spent just as many hours 
scrubbing as I did;) 

Now onto the master bathroom, Brian
started the shower, his own personal feat!



And here's Jim bringing in some reinforcement!

The boys get credit for their hard work in the shower....

While Amanda and I claim victory in the main bathroom....
(I can take partial credit, I didn't do NEAR as much work
as this lady but I promise I was on my hands and knees
laying tile too--someone has to run the camera!)



Here Amanda is getting us started on the "artsy"
mosaic we installed in the bathroom closet to use up
the broken scraps/pieces of tile.....
Us women are very "green"......
reduce, reuse, recycle!

Not bad for winging it, eh?!
Go Team Girls!
Believe it or not we didn't even set it all out
and make a pattern, we just started laying in pieces
and somehow got lucky that it turned out this good!
The final product (minus the sealer and grout!)


Brian continues to make great progress
with the shower!

He was impressed with Amanda and I's mosaic that
he was bound and determined to out-do us!
I was just happy we could recycle some more scrap!


The painter's started 3/1/12!
The ceiling in the great room is going to be
distressed bead board, here's a sample
of what it will look like!
