A break from life, a break from tiles.

These past couple of days I’ve been renovating the kitchen a little bit. Yesterday I was so tired, all I did was to go see Transformers, which sucked tremendously and then I made dinner… that’s pretty much what I did. So I was feeling bad about that and complaining about it to a friend and she really put me in place. She said:

- Between producing music, writing, working with photography, renovating your apartment and working a full time job… you seriously want to beat yourself up because you had a days rest?

When she put it like that I had to laugh at myself for being so dumb.

So, let me show you what I’ve done.

This is a computer generated picture of the tiles in my kitchen. I made this first to see how high I wanted the tiles to go and to get an idea of what it would look like.













This is a series of pictures showing the progress of me and my previously named friend, putting up the tiles. After that I decided to go ahead with a fantasy I've had, to build out the window thingy and wrap it up in tiles, said and done. Here is a double picture, the one on top is the actual work, the one beneth is computer generated... just like I emagined it!













I knew I had to hit a bump sooner or later, and today I did. The grout that you put on the tiles to seal the edges got stuck on the tiles and I've spent the past 5 hours scrubbing it with scotch brite, spunge and water. The guy at the tile store must have forgotten to give me a tiny bit of information. I found out that I am supposed to splash on some tile protective goo before the grout, to prevent it from sticking. I finally got most of it out and, well, I'll show you a panoramic picture of the kitchen when I'm done and happy with the result.
