Guest Bath Reno Day 4: We Have Floor!

Today marks day 4 out of our 6 day guest bath renovation!  Day 1 was demo and adding the toilet {here}, Day 2 was patching the dining room ceiling and putting up the bathroom walls {here}, Day 3 was tiling the shower and starting the mud on the walls {here} and today we finally have our floor tile laid!

Here is what happened today.

Walls got sanded and textured with mud in a light tuscan drag.
 Shower tile border was laid.
 Wall tiles were grouted and washed with sanded grout in Silver (from Lowe's).  Tip: For the wall tile, you need the 25 lbs bag of grout.
 Floor tiles were laid!  The floor tiles we used are the Style Selections Natural Timber Cinnamon Glazed Porcelain Indoor/Outdoor Floor Tile.  Then the floors were grouted this evening by me and dad!  We make a pretty good team believe it or not :)  We used sanded grout in Chamois a light brown color (from Lowe's).  Tip: For the floor tile (in a space about the same size), we only needed the 10 lbs bag of grout.
 After grouting any of the tile areas, you will need a sponge to wipe the grouted tile clean...rinse and repeat...then dump the water outside (NOT down a drain), refill with clean water and keep wiping and repeat getting more clean water until your water stays clear after wiping the tile.  TIP: Wipe across the grout lines and not down them :)
I hope you enjoyed today's bathroom update and join us tomorrow we're we add...gotcha again!  come back tomorrow to find out and as always, thanks for stopping by!
