What an adventure it is to tile a kitchen floor... we tiled from 5:30PM until 1:30AM.
Here's the quick version in pictures.
It took a bit, but we powered through and are really happy with the results!
A few before and afters:
Oh, our lovely countertops!
Sam and Doug set and installed the walnut butcher block on the kitchen island:
Then, we had the quartz countertops set for the bar and the rest of the kitchen surface.
Before and after - and close-ups.
