New Laundry Room Tile

Welcome to Week 2 of our Laundry Room refresh. This week I’ve got some new laundry room tile to share with you. And… it’s not on the floor!

It’s on the wall!

Once I realized that I wouldn’t be able to get my countertop and sink in for a couple of weeks I knew I needed to pivot.

So I decided to go ahead and install the tile on the wall.

I know that you would normally do the countertops first then go for the tile, but desperate times call for desperate measures!

Day one found us doing a little demo.

We marked where the sink would be going, then marked where the new countertop would be on the wall.

Once we did this we tore out the formica back splash.

Repaired the walls.

We removed the existing shelf for tile and in the process broke it.

Plan B where the shelf is concerned!

Then it was time to tile.

I chose a  Satori 4 x 8 ceramic subway tile.

It’s inexpensive, but  looks extra!

Unfortunately it was a rainy day  on day 1 so  no using the wet saw in the driveway!

However, we went ahead and tiled everything that didn’t need to be cut.

Day 2 Was a Sunny Day and we were back in business!

We completed the tile and eagerly awaited the day 3 so that we could grout the tile.

Day 4 we cleaned up the tile, built a new shelf and painted the repaired wall and cabinet.

 

Finally the new laundry room tile wall was finished and I could kick myself for not having done it sooner!

If you watched the video you know that we have to wait on a plumber to put in the countertop and sink.

No new countertop until after Memorial day!

Oh, well, that will give me plenty of time to finish the curtains, hang artwork – you know all the fun details!

Be Sure To head on over to Terrie’s to see what she has been working on this week.
