GROUT SCHOOL: Can I take you to Grout School for a minute? I spent waaaaay longer than I ever thought possible discussing grout with a specialist at @flooranddecor and I learned all kinds of things. First off, DONT PANIC when your tile is first laid and you see the grout and think “omg that’s not the color grout I wanted at all! 😱” In this pic, the bottom portion was grouted yesterday and the top portion was grouted just a few hours ago. Huge difference in the shade of color! And the portion done yesterday STILL has a lot of drying and lightening to go. So don’t panic if at first you think it’s not what you wanted. It isn’t. But it will be. Secondly, if you’re going with @mapeiusa products, don’t just say “I want white grout” and grab the bag that says “white.” Mapei’s shade of what they call white is actually pretty yellow. I think that why so many friends cautioned me on going with white grout.. they all said it’s going to yellow! My new Grout Best Friend at F&D told me that Mapei actually released some other shades of grout that are more White than “White.” If you’re looking for a true white, you want to go with “Avalanche.” This color that I used here is “Frost.” It’s a step above Avalanche with a tiny bit of grey to it for some definition. But don’t just take my word for it, check out Mapei’s color chart and seriously compare all the hues before you just go grabbing any old bag of grout off the shelf. All the retailers will have the color chart somewhere in the grout aisle so use it! White might not be all you think it’s going to be! And now you are graduates of Grout School. 🎓 Congrats! . . . #grout #tile #backsplash #whitegrout #mapeifrost #mapeifrostgrout #diy @loweshomeimprovement #kitchenbylowes #ff #homeimprovement #kitchenremodel #kitchenrenovation #groutcleaning #yellowgrout #unfuglymyhouse #my80safhouse #kitchendecor #backsplashtile #backsplashideas #fixerupper #joannagaines #hgtv #housetohome

QUEEN CITY: we just had a quick getaway to Cincinnati for an Irish Step Dancing feis and we made the most of our first time in the Queen City. By far, the favorite time spent was in the Over The Rhine neighborhood, which felt like a combination of Philadelphia, Washington DC and Chicago to us! Check out my stories for more highlights. . . . #travelwithkids #familytravel #ohio #cincinnati #overtherhine #seeohio #sahmlife #irishstepdancing #washingtonpark #ff #instagood #clouds #memorialmusichall #family #love

FINISH LINE: the end is in sight. It’s amazing how newly installed countertops just transform a space from a construction zone to home. ❤️ Just a few more things to do and I can show you everything! . . . #kitchendesign #kitchenremodel #kitcheninspo #kitcheninspiration #silestonelagoon #quartz #quartzcountertops #hardwoodfloors #homerenovation #unfuglymyhouse #my80safhouse #muirfieldvillage #dublinohio #interiordesign #interiordecorating #hgtv #fixerupper #sodomino #housetohome
