🤷🏻♀️Well I wish I was there to help you!
Kisses to Anaïse.😘😘😘
Personally, I like to say to people,
"Go ahead and judge me, I don't care.🤨 What's going to happen?🤷🏻♀️ Nothing?🤨 Yeah, that's what I thought."😏😉😂🤣♥️
Angela, don' t you have a dishwasher? To me it is THE best invention of the passed century together with the washing machine. > Wishing Anaïs a quick recovery! ♥♥♥
Oh, to be your age again and have that energy. Good looking tiled floor. I think driftwood is the one to go with too. You have saved a ton of money laying it yourselves, it's an art. I love it! Love your videos with you and your family. Almost forgot to mention that I am going to have a similar meal as you are preparing, you talked me into it, looks so good and I know it is! ❣
Thank goodness for takeout or I’d never get a project done.
Someone asked if you have a dishwasher…. you have 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had 3 girls in my family… and Daddy had a chart on the side of the fridge for dishwashing and drying rotations. He always said "your mom is not your maid" . She did all the cooking, housekeeping, washing and ironing (which was done a lot back in the 60s! But dishes were our chores… besides keeping our own rooms clean and changing our own sheets . Strip the bed and put the sheets in the laundry room, where there was always a fresh set ready. Oh I remember those days.
You make me miss my green jacket.. the zipper finally wore out. I love how agreeable your husband is when you are deciding on the grout.:) I did that not to long ago. My colors are similar. But I’m embarrassed to say I did none of the work on my tile. Nothing would line up if I had.
Driftwood for the win 🏆🙌🏁
Is it the MAPEI brand of grout? That is what we used and it worked well. We purchased a couple of the smaller bags and tried it first. The Driftwood looks brownish? I think it will be lovely. So. Much. Work. But so worthy! I am curious to see what technique you will choose to grout it! Great job!
Your tile is coming along beautifully!! I loved today’s video. It was kinda like hang out with me!! I’ve been sick all week with the respiratory yuck that’s going around and I just put your videos on and let them play and they certainly have lifted my mood!!! So happy to hear Anais is doing well! ❤
That's a French knife if I ever saw one.Dark looks good for the grout. Won't show dirt.
Funny story, I just chose
grout for the tile under my wood cook stove and it is driftwood 😂😂😂😂😂
HAPPY FRIDAY Angela, family, and fur babies. Quick healing for your daughter. Not laying floors, however, a contractor will be here tomorrow to do some updates in the kitchen and main level bathroom. All is well, you and the family will get it done and you will be able to enjoy and relax in the beauty. STTB
Your soup looked awesome! ❤
driftwood-yes! Not gray and not brown- the tile looks fabulous!
Driftwood is my choice👍🏻 Hang in there Parisienne Farmgirl! You are amazing 🕊️
Is what you are calling a "conservatory" actually your sun room?
Hello my new friend, love watching the new/old tiles go down. We are putting tile down in my new place, it is not as nice as what you are putting down. But I am thankfull, just keep going dear friend. Picking grout color is not for the faint of heart, driftwood for the win for me also.
I love the driftwood grout color for sure 👍🏻
Foof, you're working hard! Can't wait to see the finished floor.
I always default to Biscuit for grout
I have used driftwood! It is a perfect shade for your tile! Good luck! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Hey, the weather is awesome- maybe you can cook outside! 😂 You're doing great!!!❤❤
So glad your little one is doing ok. I didnt realize she needed surgery! On the podcast you just said she had to go to the hospital. Praying she recovers for your swim adventures this summer.
Yay driftwood!
You talk about looking bad, but your skin and makeup is flawless!
❤❤❤
Love driftwood❤
Driftwood. Hands down!!!
I know that colors look very different through the camera and that you’ve probably already picked and purchased the grout, but the wicker color option really picked up the mauve tones of the tiles and would probably be beautiful. You also may not want pinkish grout. Whatever you choose, driftwood would be very nice, I’m sure it will look just as stunning as the rest of your design choices.
Once any broken skin scabed over . Have you considered a Poultice. Of Comfrey .Broke my foot at her age my Dad wraped my foot every night with them .Stinks but healed in half the time. Used years later on youngest sons shoulder from football half time healing. Its call NITBONE PLANT in some cases. Prayingfor that little an all the Big ones that are her loves as he heals ❤ ps. Love the floor ❤
Hope your daughter is doing well and she will recover and be running around again!!!! You know i think green is your coular it brings your pretty eyes out love that coular on you its you !!! You have a wonderful day with your family and have fun doing all the fun beautiful things you do in your home. !!!! God Bless!!!
My tile laying days are over.We always put heating coils under the tie floors,I grew up in Europe with heated floors.Last tile job for me was a fancy (not really) mosaic threshold into my pantry. You go girl! Looks fantastic!
Your so precious “ I may or not be hiding lol” ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙋🏻♀️you got this
Poor honey I hope she recovers well and stays in good spirits.
I’m not laying terra-cotta floors…….I’m laying on the couch stuck in 10 feet of snow in an igloo 😮😢
I think driftwood is good because the tiles have a little touch of that color in them. I want to go joking your design group but I live with my partner and he had all this here already in the mountain home and I can not change it. The kitchen is all mine I fought on that one lol
I gave tile envy
I cannot imagine how much you do.. i hope your daughter recovers well… Hopefully you can get some take out too
I’m so glad to hear Anais is on the mend ❤ and I think Driftwood was a fabulous choice. I used to be nanny in a home that had tile floors SO similar to the ones your laying. Unfortunately the grout on theirs was cream and when I had spare time I would help scrub it…. It was impossible and always looked dirty. They should have used something darker like you are!
Sending prayers for your daughter 🙏and U as well for all your challenging work U do , amazing wounder woman 🦸♀️
I agree with another commenter….i think the driftwood looks a bit dark……Wicker looked better…..❤
To help make the tiles look more even and straight use a grout nearest the color of the tiles, not a contrasting color.
The floors are going to be amazing! Quick question… I just aquired an antique, perfect condition, copper stock pot…why i cook with it should i use a griddle over the flames?
For choosing the grout – cut out the tiny color samples (keep the name on it) and fold it so you don’t see any white. Then lay the cut paper in the grout space. It really helps to see what the final product will look like without seeing all the other colors on the swatch or the white boarder. Then you can also lay multiple samples down and walk around it/leave it there for some time to continue to come back to and see what it’s like in different lighting throughout the day. Hope that makes sense.
I’ve laid tile all night long. My hips still hurt!!! 30 years ago😊
I would keep the grout as close to the tile colour as possible. Do you really want to see all those busy lines that a dark grout would create? Just saying 🤷♀️
I used driftwood too on my grout! Not a dull grey amd just warm enough
