Kitchen Floors

Ok so... the tile has been laid... well except for the utility room and pantry.  Oh and the tile backsplash... that will be done in the same tile but with the tiles turned so they are diamond shaped.  The utility will probably be put off till the washer is working well :) anyway...here is a pic of the tile being laid.  The color of the tile is a tanish, brownish, maybe slight (very slight) goldish tint.  dont know how it looks on everyones monitor.. so i thought i would specify.  Yes the tile could be lighter to brighten the room... but we have dogs and i am looking for something more practical :)  we also got "mocha" colored grout... again a dark color so it wont show dirt and stains.  Yes i could seal the grout to protect it from stains... but just incase i dont... i wanted it dark :)

Here is the tile after the grout - we finished that tonight - so we will be able to walk on it tomorrow.  The grout takes like 20 min to lay and the cleaning of the tile takes an hour... that wasnt fun.. but i dont want hazing on the tile either... so you gotta do what you gotta do :)

The biggest issue has been that the doggie door is in the utility room and you have to walk thru the kitchen to get to it... so the dogs have not been able to go outside unless i let them out.  Since they are used to a doggie door... they want to go out for no reason... all the time... all day long! cant wait for tomorrow :)

Anyway... the color we decided to paint the wall (still needs another coat, even though it is one coat paint :( ) is called Trench coat... not that that helps... but it is a dark "coffee milk" color.  Again... dont know how it looks on your screen.  Again... could have painted it lighter... but you wouldnt believe the dog slob that gets on my walls... i need to live in a completely medium brown colored house to not show all the mess the dogs make.  My Pastor's wife told me that kids will be easier than my dogs - lol!  With them i at least shouldnt have to clean all my walls once a month :)

So that is all.. it is 11:30pm and i still need to feed the dogs... so off i go ...
