A New Hat for Nathan and a New Floor for Olivia

We were goofing around with the boy yesterday and found a new hat for him.

I wish we had had that diaper double bagging his behind today. He had the mother of all blowouts while in his high chair. It was one of those "straight to the tub" diapers.

Contrary to what you might think, that wasn't the highlight of our day. Grandma and grandpa Dudley took the boy for us after church so Liv and I could do a little shopping for the bathroom. We picked up our window and some plumbing items that were on sale. We found the tub we wanted as well as a vanity and vanity top. We didn't buy any of that stuff today, but will probably get the tub next week since it's on sale. We also hunted for some floor tile too. Liv saw one she liked that was on sale for 99 cents/sq ft. We looked around some more and found a higher quality tile that she liked even better for only 68 cents/sq ft. So, she didn't even have to talk me into that one. We loaded a couple hundred pounds of the stuff in the old pickup and headed home. Here's what it looks like...

Well that was actually daddy's doing as you probably guessed. He sure knows how to make a good picture or maybe that's Nathan's doing.

Gorgeous tile! If the timing works out (i.e. if you've already got the cement board down) that's definitely something we could help you with over Thanksgiving. We've got a tile saw and all the tools for cutting curves/corners. We've also got the tools for applying mortar/mastic/grout. So don't buy any of that stuff.

I'm glad we ended up going with a dark grout color...it never shows floor-funk. I've seen a lot of floors with light grout that look shabby after a couple years. Our grout is a charcoal color, but lighter shades of gray or brown would be crud-proof too.

Yep. I agree with Shauna. We have dark grout, too, and it's the way to go!!! It doesn't show wear like the other colors over time. Sounds like Shauna and Tom have all the tools you'll need! We had a friend lend us all the tools too, and it was so helpful because they are expensive. Tile looks nice!
