  • Tiles set!
  • Tiling around the shoe cubbies and closet was a pain in the ass, but I really lucked out on how the tile size worked out with this room. It was almost exactly 6 tiles wide by 4 tiles deep... With a register vent perfectly placed at a seam.
  • Layin this floor tile
  • She doesn't help out with my projects a whole lot. But I like when she does
