We're in the zone (the tile-zone)

Trev & I tiled the backsplash in our kitchen (see previous post) and then we decided to tackle a project both of us had wanted to do for a long time - a tile/mosaic table top for an outdoor patio table. We'd had the table top sitting in the garage for a year (Free from MCC because it had no legs) and I purchased a few glossy black tiles yesterday (also from MCC - $1.50 for 7 tiles) and we used the leftover tiles from our bathroom floor reno.
Today after work, I grouted. I ran out of grout with one corner to finish...Thanks T & L for having exactly the same colour leftover grout handy in your garages - you're our heroes!! The finished product still needs washing and sealing....but you get the idea. This was SO Fun!

I am sooooo totally wanting to do this now. I looked at MCC for tile but they didn't have any more. I think I would go with a dark blue and beige or even white tiles. If you ever see some big ones in those colours then pick them up for me! I totally love the chargers and would do that too. I am so excited for you!
