My kitchen is messy. But my floor is pretty. And it's finished.

This picture doesn't actually show how *finished* is finished because I took this before doing the sealant, which made it look a little more polished. But I like that it's rough. I like that it has a bumpy texture. I like that it feels like I'm outside. It's what I wanted.


And now there are so few days left in summer that I want to cry about it.

OMG..it's gorgeous!! Wanna come fix mine? It kinda got left half done when the boys bailed. what kind of grout did you use? my grout seems to be too sand like. Your kitchen has certainly come a long way from the 70's/80's chic it was when you bought it

Thanks Ivy. You come stay here!

Kels - The grout is supposed to be sand-like, as long as the spaces between your tiles are 1/8 inch or bigger. If the spaces are smaller than that you're supposed to use non-sanded.

If the consistency is too hard to work with, like building a sand castle, you just need more water in the mix. Should be like thick cake batter.

If you need help, let me know! I can talk you through it. :)
