Thanks so much for watching and I hope you enjoyed. Leave any future video ideas you would like to see in the comments below and don't forget to subscribe!
Okay, grout suggestions:
Laticrete #56 Desert Khaki or #27 Hemp (FYI the Permacolor Select has built in anti-stain/anti-mold properties)
Mapei #35 Navajo Brown
Custom #382 Bone or #183 Chateau
Either Bedrosians or Floor and Decor should have grout samples.
And PLEASE make a point to seal the travertine before grouting so the grout doesn’t seep into the stone and stain the edges!
This comment needs more likes and comments so hopefully Drew or Justin sees it.
Awesome info!
He replied to another comment confirming he will seal first. Phew!!
And here I was terrified that he never get the grout off that beautiful natural tile, now I know. seal it first….You are never too old to learn. I’ll probably never tell another thing in my life, but now I know. L O L
Please do seal before grouting.
I have to tell you guys a funny story about grout.... We moved to the Bay Area of California when our kids were very young. Our house was in a community with a lot of hills, and the dirt was a dark, brown color. So after having our first floor completely tiled, I took a sample of dirt and matched the grout to it!😂 No worries about muddy shoes messing up our grout!!
Bravo! Great idea!
I once knew a woman who specified “German Shepherd Tan“ for her carpeting. Brilliant!
@@marshastopa I LOVE this, as an avid dog lover!
Yes my vinyl plank floors are the same color as the dirt here. They always look clean!
Haha that's great
Great job! You should use a dust mask or respirator when pouring out the mortar. You don't want to breathe that. 😘💕
YES! Don't neglect your health.
True to that
I’m so impressed with the tiling. What a talented designer, builder you are. You’re not afraid to tackle anything!
Thank you very much!
Oh my goodness I am so proud of you. I am a 72-year-old woman from Massachusetts and I couldn’t be more proud of you and then if you were my own grandson. Mapei has a lot of colored grout and Prism is a good brand also.
Lol the same here from Michigan .
Me as well 😉. I’ve watched him since was a young crafter living at home with parents. I felt way back then, Drew was headed towards great things. So very very impressed and proud❣️from Michigan
I love twist tile!! Y’all did a great job!!
Mapei, I agree. They also have gout samples.
I never trust posts saying I'm a xx old grandmother or woman etc. Sorry if it's real, I just don't believe it!
Seal, seal, seal the tile. I have the same exact tile and it’s a monster to clean!
I believe you can still seal it?
That what I was thinking. The old housekeeper in my hates tiles with that texture.
Wait til crumbs gather in those cracks lol😂
Seal your tiles before you grout. Beautiful color choice on tile. Great tile placement. Love the organic look.
I'm loving this kitchen Drew! Follow your vision like the Lone Fox you are!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I crack me up sometimes lol Sorry ❤ MOM
TY MOMMY!
My favorite comment EVER ❤️
As a momma of 5 I just … eeek! Mommas forever supporting their children - oh my heart 🥰
Drew, you’re amazing. Period. 🎉
@@lonefox I already like Mom. :)
I love that you aren't afraid of dark colors. Those cabinets are gorgeous and the tile compliments them perfectly!
Yes!! The floor tile and the marble veining MAKE that cabinet color pop. I was wondering about the cabinet color choice at first, but he achieved a stunning, moody look in the kitchen with the floors and the marble. The cabinets are OFF! THE! CHAIN!
right?! so refreshing not to see all white everything
Drew, be sure you put a sealer over all grouted tile areas so when a liquid is spilled it won’t absorb into stone or grout, which will happen b4 you can grab a towel. A sealer will also make it easier to clean up shattered glass from a jar, dishes or glasses. You might even seal it twice. It’s a big troublesome problem if you don’t.
They make a really cool additive for grout that has a polycarbonate in it so you don't have to seal the grout anymore and makes the grout non porous. They carry it at home depot.
@@kathyreese4052 Great to know that! What about for the stone itself? Like brick? My sister had a brick kitchen floor and after spills and glass breakage, her husband finally sealed the entire floor w/several coats. Prior to dealing Her small kids were also tearing up their bare feet and would fall as socks caught on rough bricks.The floor was already there when they bought the house. Guess was best choice in their situation.
That is breath taking ! I love it ! My only suggestion on grout , do a search on old Spanish villas , and pull from the aged look on floors , then modify if needed , to your tones .
GREAT IDEA!!!
Over the past couple weeks I have full on BINGED your RUclips channel, and I am obsessed. You have the most amazing personality and spirit, you aren’t afraid to be bold with your design choices, and I just love everything you create! You’ve inspired me to update my guest bathroom (again 😉). Keep being the amazing light that you are! Thank you for sharing your talent with us and putting so much heart and soul into these videos. The work you do to these spaces is enough - and to add such beautifully curated videos to go along…unreal! 👏🏼🙏🏼
I really appreciate this comment Chelsea! I love making videos so much and It means so much that you see the works that goes into them :)
Same-you just read my mind exactly. 😀
Drew and Macenna are simply the best
Drew, you're such a hard worker. It's incredible to see how much patience you have and how much effort you put into things such as hand scrapping that sub floor as well as your previous videos with spending hours stripping the windows. I truly applaud you.
@luda3398 ditto
If your tiles arent sealed, you may need to do that before grouting - otherwise they can come out cloudy and dusty (as the grout will stick to them)
That's a great point that has happened to me.
Yes 1000% I plan to seal them prior to grouting!
Very true. I'm also assuming that you're using white tile adhesive with white /light grout.
Some people seal the tile before laying top, bottom & sides if the tile is particularly porous.
@@lonefox
Thank goodness! I was worried about that, also.
Interesting & great channel 👍
I'm so glad that Justin has been so helpful during this process! Great team!
He is truly the most incredible help I could ever ask for! So talented!
No seriously, right? I was like “dang Justin must be getting paid really well, or is a super patient incredible friend wow”
I know it's too late now but you should have put down a self levelling compound first on top of the old tile adhesive that would give you nice level floor to start on with your new tiles
Kitchen looks incredible already cant wait till the whole house is done. Great job.
Thanks so much! 😊
I love how you just jump in. I’m so impressed with you moxie! I know already mentioned is Mapei grout. Available at Floor and Decor. Also they also have designer on hand to &
Extremely knowledgeable when it comes to grout, colors available and what type to use. Bring 2 pieces of tile with you. They have grout samples bars you can place between them to pick the perfect color no need to buy lots of take home samples.
Enjoy!
do make sure you seal the tiles. Because any food or whatever you drop on the floor will stain them. Also, I would go with a lighter color grout as opposed to a darker tile grout. The reason being you want the tile to be the star of the show as opposed to the grout being the star of the show. And I can't remember if you can seal the grout or not but if you can I would highly recommend it. I just have dealt with tile when you spill stuff on the floor and it's a pain to get up.
I really admire how you approach every project with positive vibes. Your kitchen is amazing and the tile really adds to the entire space.
It's looking absolutely stunning and I love love love all the choices in this house! 😍 No thoughts on grout but oh god please wear a mask next time you're dealing with powders like that mortar! Silicosis is a thing you should be careful about since you're likely to deal with materials containing silica (like mortar) on a regular basis. I'm a ceramicist so I'm just always hyper aware of the threat of it and that big cloud set off some alarms in my head.
Thank you for bringing this up! I feel like people overlook heavy metals when it comes to construction
I’ve been waiting on this! Your taste is immaculate and this kitchen is gorgeous. It’s so good to see someone working with the character and history of a home 🫶🏾
YES, FUNCTIONING KITCHEN!!! I'm learning so much from you as you do this process!!
So looking forward to the braided transition between rooms!
SAME!! IDK how looking forward I am to making those cuts though.... lol
@@lonefox I have faith in you! After watching you make that stove hood, I'm a believer. You can do it!
Tiles (or flooring) should be covering the entire floor with the cabinets placed on top. Love your following along with your renovations!❤️
Wow! I mean, what can you NOT do?! You are so talented! I watched this whole video with a smile on my face and feeling so proud of you for always being open to trying things on your own and never being scared. It’s teaching me to push myself to also do the same. I’m always hesitant to try things I’m not familiar with but you make it seem so enjoyable or at the very least it teaches us the viewers to have confidence in our abilities and to trust ourselves. So proud of the work you do and how self sufficient you are. Goals!
Thank you so much Emy!!! I appreciate you so much!
So true. Inspirational how Drew gives himself permission to fearlessly try new projects, with such optimisim and enthusiasm. No wonder everything he does looks fantastic!
Love, love, LOOOOOOOVE the tile!!! Great job Drew!! You are rocking this home reno!!!
I would try Delorean Gray from Home Depot (Custom Brand), It looks like natural concrete when dries. You also might want to consider sealing that tile with a matte sealer before you grout. It will make clean up a lot easier.
Looks great! If you don’t already have knee protective shields, I’d recommend them to provide cushion as you work on the ground long term 🙂
Want to know something funny, I bought a set for this job but my knees just never started to hurt or feel bad so i never put them on!
@@lonefox Drew, please don't wait for your knees to feel bad or hurt - the true use of the knee pads is preventative. Your knees are taking a beating and if you use the protection now, you will thank yourself in the years to come!!
@@southernbelle007 hope he reads it
Wow, Drew, the tile you and Justin worked on is fab. I know it will be one of your best projects, ever.
You also could cut the backer board out with all the old morter around your cabinets and just put a new one down. That being said as a DIYer I think you made the right decision here. Its the fastest and most cost effective . Great job !
It's awesome to see you just challenge yourself, and go in your own direction when obviously it would be So Much easier to hire someone to do it. You're an inspiration!
I didn't know tile saws had gone down that much! Project time!! Your kitchen looks so beautiful.
Not too bad right! Plus I’ll use it for both bathrooms upstairs as well :)
Drew - you are amazing!! Your level of skill is incredible and its so hard to believe that some of the projects you take on are first time projects. Your work is always so professional looking and beautiful. That floor is gorgeous - awesome work!!! I love it!!
Looking good drew! We used this same tile for our backsplash. NOTE: before you pick grout color ~ decide if you are going to seal tile. If you seal tile ~ it WILL change color of tile. Just wanted to give you a heads up before picking grout color. Can’t wait to see what you decide. As always thanks for sharing with us all. ~Treca
Never tiled before. I love that you are fearless.
Yayyy been waiting for this one can’t wait to see the results!! 💚
Just awesome! I am constantly waiting to see your updates. Thoroughly impressed with the fact that you just do it yourself. Wow! Your kitchen is beautiful and I can't wait to see how you complete the rest of your home.
Professionals tile over tile and it holds up just fine, so I don't think tiling over old mortar is going to hurt a thing! Love the tile and how it's all coming together!!!! Can't wait!!!
I love watching how you just have a go and do things yourself. I love people that do that.
I truly love that you just GO FOR IT in scenarios where you're trying something new, and inevitably create such beauty :) I think you've given me the confidence I needed to finally try some tiling of my own! Can't wait to see the final grout pick.
Yes, yes and yes! I love your design style and also the fact that you are not afraid of giving life to your visions!!
You have done an amazing job making over the new house, and it has been so much fun watching!
Loving the progress in you’re home. It’s giving such a warm cozy vibe
Absolutely love the floor tiles! They look so good, perfect vibe for the kitchen!
Beautiful so far. I love watching you tackle projects that you’ve never done before. Amazing ❤
Love it! You did A great job picking it out and laying it down! I'm always excited for every project you do because its always amazing😊 Excited to see the kitchen completed and decorated!
I enjoy this renovation story. Thanks for your enthusiasm for your work and I like the way you enjoy the whole process of changing up new/old houses.
The tile work is exceptional. The color, the style fits right in with the agness of the home. Way to go guys.
That tile brings so much warmth to the space 🥰 I’ve also never seen the braided tile design and now it’s all I want in every doorway haha so beautiful!! Thank you for teaching and inspiring us 🤎
In Spain we tile the whole floor before installing the furniture. It’s a way to protect floor in case of water licks. We tile the whole walls as well before installing furniture as well, and this makes cleaning easier in those walls that are exposed. Renovations are not that easy when you are tired of it after some years...
I love your tiling floors. Awesome work!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your tile is gorgeous! You and Justin did a fantastic job and thank you so much for sharing it with us---I love how it looks!
I love how honest you are! I love and appreciate him that you explain your thought process!
I love your kitchen,I love that you have no fear and you just go for it.Awesome!
Drew , you & Justin have done incredibly well with the tiles, this is so inspirational seeing you attempt & share as you transform your home 🤍
Sending Love from Australia 🤍
OBSESSED 😍😍 I cannot wait to see the fully finished kitchen ahhh it already looks so good!
OH. MY. GOSH!!!! You guys did an amazing job on the tile! I LOVE the choice you made! Thank goodness for such a good friend in Justin helping you with your house and the makeover house!
The tiles are so perfect for the look. The kitchen was looking so, so... You know, that's why you chose that tile and did it that way. It looks marvelous Drew!!!♥️♥️♥️
You inspire me for sure! You are so relatable and talented as well! I love your videos and you make me feel like I can decorate my own space and be a DIY queen! ❤️😊 Love you Drew!! ✨
It amazes me how you can visualize everything and make it come together to perfection. I love everything about it. I'd give anything to be that talented. I looked at the color of your hoodie and think that's a good grout color 👍
You did such a great job. I love how you aren’t afraid to try something you’ve never done before!!
Love your excitement and enthusiasm for this project. You are so fun to watch! Can’t wait to see what color grout you choose. Hope your internet comes back. Take care!
Great job Drew! Love the tiles. Can't wait to see the finished product!!
Drew you're awesome and I live for these updates. Thank you for sharing this journey with us 🤍
Your kitchen floor is looking great. I particularly enjoyed this video, not just because of the tips on tiling, but also seeing the joy on your face as you started to achieve the look you were hoping for, it made me smile.
Drew you have no fear.
You are a solid person !
It’s impressive !
So smart, so brave !
I so enjoy your upbeat attitude and enthusiasm in all that you do !
So refreshing 🎉
Dear Drew, Bravo👏the kitchen and nook floors are stunning. I love how much time you give to making your designs exactly the way you envision them. Excellence 👏Hugs💞
Ah love this! Also watching you have success using power tools that are new to you makes me more more confident to try it myself ❤
Drew! I love how fearless you are when it comes to trying new things whether it's a new power tool or anything you haven't done before!! Love the tile and the whole look of your kitchen. You've done well!!
Thank you Katie :)
Literally placed each tile by hand. I just cannot with you Fox. Each video you amaze me more and I'm anticipating the next video. And you have the most caring people in your life to collaborate these wonderfully design masterpieces with you. The floor is beautiful Fox. Just beautiful❤. And what a special meaning to obtain each and every time you step onto your beautiful, tiled floor.
I love your honesty about first-time experiences and also what you learn from them. Thanks for sharing. And, your choices of background music are amazing.
This looks amazing! I am so impressed that you did the whole space when you had never tiled before and did such a great job!
Drew, you did a great job on the tile. I love how it turned out.
The floor is awesome and a great cutting job with those tiles!
Thank you for sharing your kitchen adventure with us. Great work!
I would do a lighter grout so it doesn’t distract from the beautiful natural tile. Very impressive with the wet saw Drew, you are amazing.
The floor is stunning right now, can't wait to see it with grout! 💙
I absolutely love doing projects like this. It has always been a life goal of mine to physically build my own home similar to how you are. 2022 was a terrible year for me, a minor injury turned into a lifelong painful disability and many of my life goals and dreams are no longer attainable. But I still have that itch in me to create and build things and watching you do it all helps satisfy it. Thank you for all the hard work you put into making these videos for us! It helps in ways you can’t imagine!
Love the travertine floors and the colours you chose. Also love that you are never afraid to try something you have never done before. Trial and error is how we all learn. You and Justin are such good work buddies - makes every project run more smoothly when you have such great help. Watching your house become a 'home' has been a real treat. Thank you!
Omg I absolutely love it drew, you and your friend have done an amazing job 😍🥰
I can't wait to see the whole kitchen complete 😍. I feel like we will only get the full picture once Drew is done. Its soo unique
wow what fun. you are so impressive. love your energy and "can-do" attitude.
Wow! Its turning out so great. I can only imagine how relaxing its going to be.
Oh my goodness it looks fantastic. I’m just loving this journey and you amaze me with your can do attitude 😊💕
Is there anything you can’t do, Drew? Absolutely beautiful.
I love it!! The color of the tile sets off the brass pulls on the cabinets. I don't know why I noticed that but it is so nice! I trust your choice on the grout so can't wait to see how it turns out!
Love your enthusiasm! The tiles look so warm and cosy x
Love the style of the tiles they look beautiful in your kitchen. 🥰
I bet MaCenna would know which one you should use as far as texture and colour. She did a fabulous job with her choices!
Just to let you know, when there is no tile under the cabinets, it’s because the contractor cut the corner to save money…we renovate our kitchen and we did put tiles under the cabinets. If the next owner want to change the layout of the kitchen, at least he will not have to worry about matching the old tiles with the new ones. It is the same with wood floor.
Exactly! We move the cabinets in my house and did not have to redo the floors because the tiles are also under the cabinets.
Ahhh this totally makes sense!
Looks great! The whole ‘room’ is going to be gorgeous!
That's not entirely true. They advise you not to put certain flooring materials under cabinets due to expansion/contraction of the floor, and the potential for it messing up the leveling of your cabinets over time. We were perfectly willing to pay to put our flooring under the cabinets in our renovation but were told we should not do it.
Currently remodeling our home and we’ve too decided to run the flooring under the cabinets - so that in the future, either us or new owners can change cabinets without having to also re-do or match the flooring.
Absolutely LOVE the tile! Hand laying them was brilliant as it looks so organic to the house!
You two are a powerfull creative team. Be proud! It looks amazing
the kitchen looks so pretty. you guys did such a great job tiling for never having it before. you both look like pros!
Thank You!!
Tiles look great. I know you were going for an organic look but just for future tiling jobs, use a level as you’re placing the tiles to avoid tripping hazards. Well done ❤️✨
We did!! I happened to not capture it in the video but we’d constantly check large chunks to make sure they were level!
Loan Fox of course you did LOL
@@lonefox Great job! Love the travertine tiles you chose and your threshold idea. Can't wait for more videos in the future from your kitchen and breakfast nook. Cabinets, backsplash, counters, hood, light fixtures, coffee bar...BRAVO!!!!!!!!
The tile is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! You also did a phenomenal job laying it.
The tile looks amazing and the light coming through the windows makes the room look inviting the breakfast nook might become one of your favorite places can't wait to see the finish
I adore what you've done so far! When it comes to grout color, look into MAPEI Warm Grey or Navajo Brown. I used both recently (after much sampling & stressing hard on this decision) & couldn't be happier with how they look! And even with sealing the stone before grouting, you will end up with some grout in the imperfections in the stone...ask me how I know, lol!
Finally, the floor tile!
Love the tile can't wait until the kitchen is done to we can see the gorgeous vibe of it all.🥰
Wow! Such a great job! It’s you and macenna that has inspired me to do things by myself at my home. I tiled my own kitchen walls and sanded and oiled my living room floors.
Thank you for your inspiration and good work 🎉
