Hey Everyone…
I have been SUPER busy around the house! I am excited to post the before and after pictures.
But just so you didn’t think I TOTALLY disappeared, I wanted to share a QUICK tip I found out about during this CRAZY remodeling/changing things up a bit journey.
When we built this house 7 years ago, let’s just say I didn’t know much about “grout color” as much as I do now.
So when the kitchen backsplash went up, I had the tile guy pick whatever he thought looked good with the tile. BIG MISTAKE!!! What I ended up with was a grout that looked PINK, Ahhhhh!
So for the past 7 years, I have HATED my tile in the kitchen. I have been telling Brett that I wanted to rip it out, but the tile itself wasn’t bad and I REALLY like the 3×6 shape so……
I thought that if we were to re-grout it, I might like it a lot better.
I headed to my local tile store and asked what the BEST way to take out old grout knowing we were headed for a time-consuming, NOT VERY FUN project! and guess what I was told?!….
I didn’t have to re-grout it!!
All I had to do was PAINT THE EXISTING GROUT!
WHAT???
You mean there is such a thing as Grout Paint?? Can I just tell you how that made my day!
The shop owner had me look at the grout deck of colors and I picked the perfect shade that coordinated with my existing tile!
Here are the Before and After pictures!

Yep…Looks like a TOTALLY different tile! I am pretty thrilled with the end result 🙂
Notice the wallpaper!!!
….This is me jumping up and down with excitement…
thats for a future post (wink)
So glad you posted this. I actually bought the stuff to use on my bathroom floor, but just haven't yet. Time to get it done. PS the wallpaper is dreamy.
Wow, what a difference! The painted grout looks great! I really want to see more of that wallpaper. 🙂
What an amazing difference! I love it.
Looks so much better! I'm excited to see more… hopefully soon. 🙂
