It took me 8 hours over 2 days to do this whole room. You need to go slow and be patient.
Coming up next? Caulking around the counter and tile, painting the kitchen, staining the living room TV unit, and of course, or backyard furniture project!!!
This project actually took place while I was on March Break...just forgot about the pictures and project until Matt started doing the caulking this past week. Our grout was originally white I believe, and it turned a gross yellow over time. I tried cleaning, scrubbing, and everything to get it back to white, but nothing would help. So here's what I did, in pictures: BEFORE: Also before I painted the kitchen, was just prepping the walls A close-up...very dingy yellow Chose a gray as I figured if I did it white, it would just go back yellow again. If you read the ingredients, it's pretty much just paint. Squeezed it into a bottle and applied it with a foam brush Wipe the excess from the white tile with a slightly damp towel. Some grout lines will required two coats. It took me 8 hours over 2 days to do this whole room. You need to go slow and be patient. Did around the stove on Day 1, and around the sink on Day 2. Finished work - I like it! Crisp and clean! Coming up next? Caulking around the counter and tile, painting the kitchen, staining the living room TV unit, and of course, or backyard furniture project!!!
