Guest bathroom tile

So who just tiled her guest bathroom all by herself??  Yep, this girl did! I spent more time procrastinating the start than I did laying the tile. Sheesh..

Now that the layout is decided, I mixed up a tiny little bit of thin-set to start with. Make sure I really want to commit to this. :)
And.... GO!
Everything was going so well until I realized the door was in the way of finishing the last 2 tiles. 

Tom popped home for a few mins and removed the door (even though I totally could have done it myself). :-)
And I got the last tiles laid. Ta-da!
Feeling a wee bit proud of myself. Now to let the thin-set cure and hopefully, I can grout tomorrow!

Guest bathroom

True to form, we have put off doing the guest bath until the last minute. Meaning we will be hosting a homecoming 'after-party' this weekend and would like to have the guest bath done so we they don't have to use the master bath or go upstairs. To be fair, we had planned on putting a custom shower in there but, after much consideration, we have decided to nix the shower. The plumbing is in the wall if we change our mind later. 

Now to get the tile down so the mortar can cure and I can grout before the weekend.

With a little fiddling, I can get the floor done without having to rip any tiles!

I know, I know... Stop yapping ang get back to work... :-)
