Dramatic changes happened in our kitchen this week. We were able to paint the walls and tile the floor. Being beginners, we chose to place our tile diagonally. What could be difficult about that? Nothing, if you have standard 8 or 10 inch ceramic tiles, but we went with 16 inch porcelain tiles. The saw we borrowed was way too small and the tile was the thickest tile I’ve ever seen (although I didn’t notice this fact when we picked it out). Needless to say, it took a really long time to do all the cutting – and virtually every piece needed to be cut. Next time we either use a professional to lay the tile or we don’t lay anything on the diagonal. After it was all said and done I think it turned out really well. We decided to use our paint sparingly and didn’t paint where the cabinets would go.
