btw, the renovation project at our new house is well underway.  before the addition goes up next month, we are doing the following in the current space: adding two bathrooms, updating a current bathroom, converting a bedroom to a study/play area, creating a laundry room upstairs, and creating an opening between the dining area and kitchen.

sean and i are not total newbies at this given the basement renovation in 2010 and various other house projects.  but this project is pretty exciting for me — maybe because it’s the first house that sean and i are moving into together.  

can you be in love with tiles?  i’m super elated about the subway tiles and penny tiles we picked out for the bathrooms.  when i asked the contractor to use charcoal grey grout with bone white penny tiles for the floor, he said, oooh, that will look nice.  can a friendship be based on grout color?  

here is the kids’ bath upstairs.
