I hope I can pull it off!.

It can be a little challenging to get tiles that big to sit level, especially on top of all of the heated flooring stuff and the cement that goes over it, but we got it done!The first thing you see when you walk into our washroom is the toilet, now that we’ve moved the plumbing around.

Supposedly, you’re not supposed to make the toilet the first thing visible, but I think I just consider it convenient, really..It kind of says:.Plus it really is a huge improvement on the previous view from this location.. Before:.

Truth-be-told, I’m pretty excited about the new toilet.It’s a lot more modern-looking than all of the other fixtures in the room but I think it’s a pretty brilliant design.

The trap at the base of the toilet is actually hidden so the sides are all just straight up-and-down all the way around.

Nowhere for tiny piles of cat fur and dust to rest that need constant wiping!I love this look for a kitchen because it’s both an updated look and also totally appropriate for an old farmhouse like ours..

This was a pretty simple job overall, but one with a really big impact.Those are always the best projects aren’t they?.

We really only needed a few basic supplies, other than the miter saw which is out in the garage.. We gathered some painting supplies, our handy-dandy cordless brad nailer, and some GE Iron Grip adhesive..When it comes to adhesives, this one is definitely a winner.
