Just a Teaser

Just a sneak peek at the awesome flooring we laid in the master bathroom!  I'm so excited about how the flooring turned out!  I've always loved the look of wood in a bathroom, but was always scared of it.  You know water and wood don't mix real well.  Even the fake wood scared me a little.  So, when I found the porcelain tiles at Seconds and Surplus in Dallas, I snatched them right up!

They actually look like real wood!  They even have the grain and knots right on the tile!  This picture doesn't show the grout, but we used a mocha color grout to match the color of the tile, and it just looks perfect!  I was a little bit crazy when it came to the grout.  The first set of grout we bought was no where near dark enough, so we returned that and bought darker.  Then when we mixed that up, and it looked so grey I started to have a panic attack!  I'll just say my husband is about done with DIY projects and he was in my ear saying "It's fine, let's just put it down!"  So panic attack was in full progress!  I mean, we can't lay down grout that I'm not quite sure about the color!  Tears, and heart racing lasted for a few minutes.  I know, I know, I'm a little crazy, it's just tile!  But, yeah, it's TILE!  I can't rip that puppy up!  So, I calmed myself down, and thought it will darken as it dries, and guess what?  It darkened as it dried!  Wipe brow, blow out a huge breath and smile!  My son, doesn't like to see me cry, at all!  So, he was so sweet and helped me carry things and patted my back.  My man at one point, said in a "tone", "We've got to make a decision!" and Ethan jumped in and said "Don't you yell at Mom!!!"  It was the cutest thing EVER!  Of course my man, barely even raised his voice, and NEVER yells at me or the kiddos, so I think Ethan was my protector at the moment!  Sweet boy!



So, with that all said, it is now going pretty smooth!  This seems to be my life lately.  Painting!  The walls are done, and now I've moved on to the cabinets, which are nearly done as well!!  YEA!!

Here are some more pics of bathrooms that I have fallen in love with.  Enjoy!
