The trick is to make sure there are not major spots where it leaves the floor unleveled. Which, I had two that I completely missed. Andrew and I can spot them, but it's not that noticeable.

This particular tile has the option to use grout. So if you like that look, use spacers. I said in my last blog post that this tile can be problematic, so I use a commercial grade adhesive to make sure it's extra secure. Last time, I found that the adhesive wasn't very sticky. Maybe it is for a sub floor or vinyl but I did not find that was the case for tile. \u003Cb\u003EStep four\u003C\/b\u003E is grouting!

Since we moved four years ago, I had not even touched it. It still had the \"live, laugh, love\" wallpaper border that was just, quite frankly, dated. My goal was too keep the remodel inexpensive, easy, and fast. This isn't our forever home and I didn't see the point in dumping a lot of money into the main floor bath if I wasn't going to see a return on my investment.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u0026nbsp; Our previous bathroom had bead board that was a pale pink but instead of ripping it up, I decided to work with it and just paint it the color of our trim. The people who lived in the home before us left a lot of materials from their home improvements. When we ripped out the old vanity, I just cut and patched the rest of the bead board that wasn't getting covered with the vanity. We went with a tall 24\" vanity as opposed to our previous 30\" one. The main floor bath felt dingy and crowded so I wanted to give it as much space as possible. The bathroom vanity is \u003Ci\u003Enot \u003C\/i\u003Eone I would recommend but it fit our budget and with some new knobs, it was aesthetically pleasing.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u0026nbsp; Finally, the ever controversial luxury vinyl tile. This is a a peel and stick product, or as a friend of mine cleverly put it \u003Ci\u003Elick and stick \u003C\/i\u003E(lol). I did plenty of research for this product knowing that it could be problematic. I knew full and well what I was getting into. Long story short, I end up putting a commercial adhesive to the tile to the bottom to insure that the vinyl would stick.

We had a quirky list and the home on the market here were going fast. We knew that we wanted a home with character, something that we could possibly make into a home we would love. I spent months watching things go on and off the market but still not finding anything that quite matched what we wanted. Last August, on a Friday I was doing my usual browsing, and I found a home in our price range, cute, and totally workable. That next day we were looking at the place, and the day after that, we were putting a continent bid on the Foxtail Home (which I'm now calling). The Foxtail Home matched the majority of out \"must have's,\" except a kitchen that over looked the living space. We knew that the first thing on our list, before Ryan-Kate, would be to knock down a wall to make it an open concept living space.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-30vyaR-qgEc\/VzS578zHOqI\/AAAAAAAAEqk\/TlAPNel5J6EjaKwWNZrxNqxTUgtERQ2uACLcB\/s1600\/IMG_0053.jpg\" \/\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-iyLSA4CosbE\/VzS55Ey-PMI\/AAAAAAAAEqQ\/oF7OKNQYUbAuC2pdz_k-CxR2vBhzEKYAACLcB\/s1600\/IMG_0038.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nDuring this time, I was about 6 months pregnant, and taking on a renovation project was stressful, to say the least. Andrew and I compared prices, weighed our options, and then decided to pull the trigger. The cabinets are Stockholm Style from Home Depot in a white finish.
