2nd project: Home sweet home (Part 3)

It's done! All grouted and everything!

I have to tell you I made a test first combining black and white to get a gray. Here it is:



At a close up you can see the difference between this gray grout and the white one I used before:



This is the final result:



Thanks for watching and stay tuned, I started a new project! :-D

2nd project: Home sweet home (Part 2)

First of all I need to thank my sweetie for his generous donation: the air pump I needed! It really helped.



There wasn't much to report during this project, it was very similar to the first one. Lots of circles and difficult pieces to cut and this time since the project was larger in dimension I had time to practice more.

I ran out of white tiles last week, I didn't plan them too well. Good thing the DIY shop is close by so I could just run out and get some more! Other than that 2 notes:

Note to self 1: Very small pieces to fill spaces I left by mistake... not very aesthetic.



Note to self 2: The large spaces I left between tiles in some places may not be that aesthetic either.



Good thing you don't notice these thing from a far distance. :D I will apply the grout today. I'll make a combination of white and black to get a gray that I think will look better than in the previous project. Wish me luck!
