Party! We’re finally done with construction in the apartment. And by construction I meant “covering one wall with tile”, so doesn’t it sound all sweet and easy?
Well it was not!
We looked and looked for ideas, then looked and looked for tiles, then talked and talked about it, then it finally started, and for three days the place was filled with dust, very early mornings, funny smells and strangers drinking coffee and wearing shoes inside.
The place smells like grout and my bathroom smells like Lysol, but the TV room is homier and cuter than ever. We’re even setting it up on a date with our neighbor’s living room.
So, if you’re thinking about remodeling, keep in mind that:
- Things are not always as cheap as they seem
- “Material included” doesn’t mean that all material is included
- Strangers like stealing Mountain Dew
- There is such a thing as a Tile Mafia
- Putting tiles on a wall is trouble because of their weight
- The relationship with the person you live will be heavily tested throughout this process
- Floor tiling looks great on walls
Our results:
Mikhail and Mikhail, weird, isn’t it?
