 Good morning guys, I'm at Florin decor this morning because a lot of you guys actually suggested heading here for grout samples I brought some tiles as well so we can see if any of the grouts look good So let's head in Justin's here as well. We're gonna see which grout Thinking or leaning a little bit darker So we'll see what they have at Florin decor their little Tags actually say what grout and what tile they use but look at this grout color here. It's actually really nice It's kind of like that muted mushroomy brown color with a little bit of gray in it. It's probably hard to see on camera It's called cocoa. So we don't know if the charts are off if the boxes are off What's off, but it is just challenging to figure out which grout color on this chart here I'm really liking espresso mocha, and I'm also actually really liking this autumn green color, which is kind of it I don't even know. It's just pretty. I love green. So that's just the option that I'm kind of leaning towards No, that'd be too green. It'd be giving green. That looks too dark That looks kind of pretty Espresso hot cocoa oh Hot cocoa is kind of giving hey guys, we're gonna get the color hem and hope for the best Just made it over to the house from Florin decor and look at the floor It is looking so good So it has been fully curing now for probably like 48 hours I'd say and it is ready to be grouted the first step that I want to share with you what we're going to be doing is actually Kind of redoing the edge of these cut tiles because as you can see the edges of the actual tiles are a bit tumbled They have more of a softer edge to them and the cut tiles are very harsh very sharp And you are going to see grout on the other side of this So I'm going to be using a dremel to kind of recreate the look of this edge on the cut edge I'm using this dremel tool And I'm going to be using this sanding attachment here and all I'm going to do is just touch it on top of the tile and kind of Work along this piece here to create a sanded edge So here's the edge that I sanded and then here It's just a straight cut edge as you can see this side definitely matches up more with the original tile edges So I have a little update for you guys and it is not One I was expecting but I'm peeling up the tile floor I'm not pulling up all of it. Let me tell you what happened So as you guys know we laid the base of the tile floor out first which was all in the center section And then we had to go in and do all the cuts which we then mortared last night and I noticed today when I got here I stepped on one of the edge pieces and it pulled up and On the entire center section of this entire tile like this area all throughout here You guys saw in the video that we used the bag of mortar and then mixed it You know with the water and the drill and created our own mortar But for these little edge pieces on that last day We actually bought a pre-mixed tub of mortar because we only needed a little bit for the edges And I just didn't want to buy a whole another 50 pound bag if it wasn't necessary So we bought a little tub just to find out that in small print on the tub It says not for use on stone tiles Which I did not see Justin did not see it as well and all the tiles that we added which were all cut and added To the perimeter of the entire kitchen and breakfast look half be pulled out scraped The floor has to be scraped and then we have to dry it back down and remorder them routing is going to be pushed off a little bit So this was not expected at all currently going through and scraping it off something I'll say though is that it's pretty easy to get off because it's not meant for the stone tile So it's kind of just like easily scraping off and also easily scraping off the floor now That was just a humongous error on my part. I should have read the packaging better I just assumed it would work and it didn't so Justin's actually at the store right now grabbing some different mortar That way we can at least put the pieces down and they're gonna be stuck And I even tried like prime up one of the tiles that we did with the mortar that we mixed and it is impossible to get that up you guys I was almost breaking the actual tile itself as opposed to getting it off of the You know concrete that we cemented it to the floor with so I'm continuing through doing all of this area Which was supposed to be grouted today, and I just kicked them out of place For the mortaring of the tiles I actually ended up putting the mortar inside of one of these grout bags And you're gonna see this during the grouting process It's actually what I used to grout the entire flooring which is a little bit different than your traditional grouting method But it's commonly used in masonry and stone flooring or walls So I actually use the piping bag to lay down the mortar and it made it so much simpler to just go across and put down all of our little cut pieces I Then knew I needed to remove any extra wood or just anything interfering with our thresholds Which are going to have a tile detail in them So I removed any of the wood any nails any of the subfloor and really prepared those areas in the larger archway Which is over by the coffee bar I used a circular saw to cut down any extra boards because as you guys remember this archway was actually never here So the boards traveled under the previous wall So I had to remove some boards and then I used a sander to sand those down And I also used this little dremel with a tiny little circular attachment to trim away all the way up to the wall And just be careful with this it gets pretty hot pretty smoky But it did the trick. All righty after about two hours. We have cleared out the threshold to a perfect Nice squared-off section that we can add our decorative tile, which is going to be in here now. It's not actually decorative It's just a different shape. It's like a brick shape And so it's going to be stacked in a soldier row here and I'll show you exactly what that is Originally, I was going to do a braided section But I don't think I'm going to do the braided section anymore because one of the things I loved about the braided section was the actual borders on either side and having the braid in the middle And I'm just not able to put borders on either side with the width here So I think I would rather just do some skinnier strips in a row, which let me show you what that's going to look like It's gonna look something like this, but of course we'll have like a grout line here as well that matches So they kind of pop out I used a piece of wood as a straight edge and a pencil to mark all of the cuts that we're gonna want to make And then I cut those on the tile saw off-camera We laid down a whole bunch of mortar in that opening there And then actually pressed down to ensure that the bottom of the tile was flush with the wood floor and the top was flush With the tile above because I did actually tile over the top of the mortar So this is actually about a quarter inch higher than the wood floor But with the rise that we created you cannot tell at all and it took a good eight hours to finish tiling up the space So I spent Sunday at the flea market instead of grouting and here's how it went Good morning, everyone. I'm here with Justin So we're going to the Rose Bowl flea It's Rose Bowl flea market day happens once a month.

Yeah, yes So this one's called Canada garden the inspiration was actually an 18th century Japanese screen I love Japanese screens as well So pretty and it had all of these design elements and I instantly realized it would be a perfect wallpaper So we actually make this entire background with the gold leaf and then we paint it over this oatmeal Color and paint all the design. It's so cool. There's like so much to look at Yeah Yeah, that's what I would do too. I would love that That is so pretty If you guys remember or I've seen the show homework they actually did this Wallpaper and kits room and the nursery looked so good.

Oh, yeah This is the design that Candice and Andy really really love Yes More like the palette like those two on the right are kind of I really don't work like that colors I finally was able to bring in at my flea market finds from Justin's truck this morning We weren't able to over the past couple days because it has been pouring rain in Los Angeles Like we've been creating rivers and lakes all over Los Angeles and so we just didn't want to bring in the items But I finally brought them this morning It's a little sunny outside which is actually quite nice and I wanted to share with you guys Some of the items I got because I actually am going to be doing a vintage drop On lone fox calm probably within the next couple of months or so I've been collecting and curating a little collection of vintage goods that are going to be like one-of-a-kind Very unique curated pieces that I'm so excited about it's just going to be a little addition to the online shop because I'm already out Frifting and ticking just shopping for home decor and vintage goods all the time So I figure you know if I find something and I feel like maybe one of you guys might like it or I could post it online Sometimes I just cannot let something I know one of you guys might like just sit there So I figured I might as well have a page on the site and offer up some vintage and antique goods So I want to kind of share with you guys some of the items I'm going to be keeping for myself and then some of the items that might be going in the shop So I have been having a obsession with studio pottery lately something about these individual handmade pieces. I Just love like look how cool this jar is that's handmade with the lid I love how the lid is attached as well or I guess the handle on the lid This is a little bowl a studio pottery bowl and then I found this vase here Look how cute this teapot is like when I found this I was freaking out and the top actually comes off like you can actually use it as a little teapot I also got the little amber glasses. I had to pick those up and I love this juicer How cute is this studio pottery juicer this candle holder this stoneware just handmade candle holder How beautiful is that I think this one might be oh no this one's not signed There are some pieces though that are actually signed. I think that is so unique. I just love that Here's a little mug. I also got those glasses that you guys saw and look how cool these are these goblets The guy said that he actually got these at a ceramic artists estate sale And then I also found mugs that matched which I loved But that is a good majority of the items that I picked up at the flea market Which I think I did a pretty good job Like I'm also very very excited that I'm going to be offering some of them to you guys Of course in the vintage drop, which I'll give you guys more info on that in the future But if you do absolutely want to make sure that you could shop the vintage drop I do just suggest going over to the loan fox website and entering your email just because we send out a bunch of email Notifications and newsletters. Well, not a bunch. We're not gonna overwhelm your inbox But that's a great way how you guys are going to be notified of when the drop is happening And how you could shop it and I'll probably also give early access to email subscribers as well So that's a really great perk, but today is grouting day. We are starting the growl I came over here this morning. We unloaded the items We're gonna start the growl heading upstairs to start mixing that up and get it on the floor Which is hopefully going to be at this Sunday's video So I will catch you guys in my next one, and I hope that you enjoyed this one. Bye
