OK, so more boring updates on my tile project :)
- someday i will have more exciting things to write about!!!
I FINALLY got around to grouting the tile (about a month after we laid it) so here is how it looks. I HATE grouting, cuz you smear it on the whole floor and you have to make sure to get it all pressed into the seams, no bubbles, has to be all level (ish) and then you spend 2 hours wiping it all off the tiles!! Not so fun. But it is sooooo nice to have a pretty floor now and not cement with rust spots and paint drips! Jon did some fancy cuts around the drain (I am trying to pry the rusted top off of the drain, I guess you can just replace the top part.. but this one is so rusted i cant get it off!)
Tomorrow i am going to seal the grout and put my washer and dryer in --WOOHOO- and my cabinets.... still lots of work till its done!

Every month some of my friends that I used to work with at Alphagraphics
(they have all left me for new jobs)
get together for a dinner party, this was the January party at Carly's house.
It is way fun, and good to catch up on whats going on now that we
don't see each other every day!
I was having a good hair day so I thought i would post this pic:)

Ok, well my mom is telling me that I really need to put something new on my blog...
so here is what I've got: pictures of my laundry room being tiled
( I know I know, try to contain your excitement:) )
Tiling is one home improvement thing that Jon and I are pretty professional at. We have a nice tile saw and Jon is good at making fancy cuts. I do the planning (and buying) and the actual laying. We have actually had this tile for 2 years now and have just been putting it off. BUT I am dying to have cabinets and a counter top in there, so it was time to get to it! I will put picts. on when I have it grouted and the cabinets and washer and dryer in.
