  • I’ve been seeing so many DIYs on these tile furniture items that I wanted to give it a try to! I explain to you guys the whole process from A to Z (from building the base, to sticking the tiles to grouting and cleaning). It’s definitely not as easy as what the internet makes it seem like but I’m super proud of this piece and will definitely be making more!

    It's easier to not wait for the grout to set. My dad is a tiler and he said to apply the grout to a section then quickly with a wet sponge wipe away the excess grout. This eliminates killing your back cleaning and the grout off from the tiles also makes the process a lot easier to handle. Also correct use unsanded grout people unless you are a professional and know how to use sanded grout, but unsanded is best :)

    Hello! Thanks so much for making this tutorial! Very helpful, you're a legend!! I'm wondering if you know how heavy this is?

    • @KatieCung
      @KatieCung  2 года назад

      Thank you!!! It’s actually quite heavy, not too sure the weight exactly but I would say at least 20lb?

    hi angel, do you know about how much the overall cost of this project was?

    • @KatieCung
      @KatieCung  3 года назад

      Hey girl! Yes for me it was about 150$ CAD approx!

    Hi! So I really want to do this but I'm not so confident on the making my own box part. Do you think if I just buy a cheap wood bookcase that would be as fine?

    • @KatieCung
      @KatieCung  2 года назад

      Yes! I think you can add the tiles on anything really! As long as it's sturdy enough :) I've seen people add them on ikea already made furniture!

    Hey! I was just wondering how you did the process of the actual box itself, did you cut up the wood yourself?

    • @KatieCung
      @KatieCung  2 года назад +1

      Hi! My dad cut the wood according to the plan that’s drawn in the video :) then he nail gunned + wood glued the pieces together!

    i don't get how we're supposed to make this table without a dad that can make us the wooden corpus like how am i supposed to find a cube with the exact measurements of the tiles?

    14:30 .... ummm so why don't you lay it down on it's side? LOL

  • @brucekim4276
    @brucekim4276 2 года назад

    Where did u get tile from? Tile costs expensive… wood furniture as well…

    • @KatieCung
      @KatieCung  2 года назад

      Got the tiles from La Tuilerie, they were like 4$ for a sheet. And the wood we got from our local hardware store

  • @urwholefamilydied
    @urwholefamilydied 2 года назад

    9:36 why wouldn't you just lay it down on the floor to put the tiles on?? That seems really awkward

    First tip, use the proper tool. Use a float to lay your grout. Second, instead of assuming you know how to do something, research. My biggest piece of advice, don't take tips from "influencers" watch videos from people who have a clue.
