Grout - it really makes a difference
We've been slowly seeing our vision for our home coming true. It's quite exciting to realize that our random choices weren't too shabby!
We're especially pleased with our bathroom - our random tile selection and the last minute change to do a half-tile instead of a full tile all worked out brilliantly. Today, we came home and our bathroom has been grouted. *whazam* amazing what a difference grout can make. It's gone from looking good to looking absolutely spectacular!
BTW - do you know how many shades of grout there is - unbelievable! We ended up buying our grout when we got our tiles with the assistance of one of the store owners. She'll say "I recommend A or B" and I would say "A!" and she would say "Good choice!"... I can't imagine not having her assistance and staring at the 10 shades of beige and trying to make a decision.... hmmm... it'll probably be like when we had to pick out our bathroom wall colors. :) Lots of staring.
Speaking of bathrooms... we came home last night from dinner and Gaspar stops us in the lobby and said that Joe, the super, needed to speak to us. Sean and I looked at each other and thought "Uh oh, what happened?!?!"
It turns out that our temporary toilet that was held in place by painter's tape was leaking to our downstairs neighbor's ceiling. Ooops. Joe said that it was a minor problem and we should continue to use the toilet until this morning. You know, I realized that you can really hold a pee for a loooong period of time when you're afraid of what will happen if you flush. Just now, we justed called our contractor - apparently, all's well and we can continue to use our toilet for as long as we need it. Whew...
