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
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!
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
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😂
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!
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 CZcams 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
Seal your tiles before you grout. Beautiful color choice on tile. Great tile placement. Love the organic look.
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
Kitchen looks incredible already cant wait till the whole house is done. Great job.
Thanks so much! 😊
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”
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 👍
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'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 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!
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
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
I really admire how you approach every project with positive vibes. Your kitchen is amazing and the tile really adds to the entire space.
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
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 🫶🏾
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
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.
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!
I'm so glad you went with the square tiles over the super skinny ones. they're the right level of "busy" for the flooring in that kitchen.
Wow, Drew, the tile you and Justin worked on is fab. I know it will be one of your best projects, ever.
I love watching how you just have a go and do things yourself. I love people that do that.
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!!
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 !
I love how honest you are! I love and appreciate him that you explain your thought process!
You are doing such an amazing job. Be proud of yourself..... You've more than earned it. Love everything you have done.
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 :)
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!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You did such a great job. I love how you aren’t afraid to try something you’ve never done before!!
I just love this comment section. I’m nowhere near buying my own place or renovating anything but when/if I do I know so much more from just watching these videos and reading the comments. I’ll definitely be coming back here if I’m ever in need of a home reno/diy project (even though I am the clumsiest person I know)!
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!
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 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 and Justin did an amazing job. Beautiful organic tile has a softness to it that gives the space an inviting warmth.
Tiles (or flooring) should be covering the entire floor with the cabinets placed on top. Love your following along with your renovations!❤️
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 🤎
Greetings from Denmark. :) The reason the former owners tiled the whole floor, also under the kitchen cabinets, was to not have a problem in the future if the kitchen was to be changed/moved around again some day. Many professional builders do it that way. :)
Drew, as you were mixing the mortar i said he’s going to break his drill and an half a second later it was smoking. I had to upgrade to a strong drill for mortar mixing. ( upgrade = going over to my dad’s place and asking for his strongest drill.
The tile work is exceptional. The color, the style fits right in with the agness of the home. Way to go guys.
I love how you approach each project eager to learn. I would be anxious as all get out.
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!!!♥️♥️♥️
I love watching you not knowing what the hex your doing...and then just like that fabulous results!
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!
Gorgeous! At first, I wasn’t totally convinced about the brown cabinet colors, but these tiles tie everything in beautifully! Lone Fox is 🔥 🔥🔥
I love your kitchen,I love that you have no fear and you just go for it.Awesome!
Drew, you might test grout on a tile before you actually install the grout. I had some very similar tile and could not get the grout wiped off of it. My tile was not sealed or glazed. Luckily it was outside and I had it power washed to get it clean but it was a mess. After power washing, I had to go back in and patch the grout that came out during the process. I'm not sure if it was the brand of grout I had or the finish on the tile but if it were inside, I don't know how I would have cleaned it off. You might take some of your tile to the store where you buy your grout so they can guide you.
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!
I LOVE you LONE FOX! You’re so authentic smart creative and a brilliant designer! You’re incredibly inspiring.
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.
Drew the floor is so beautiful you guy's are working so hard, but how rewarding especially in such a gorgeous house. 😘🏡🐕
The tile is beautiful and you’ve done a great job, especially since it’s your first time doing a floor. Once you seal the tile, will that help keep dirt from settling into the natural holes in the stone? That’s my concern with tumbled stone tile.
Also, my concern as well!
Mapei has great grout colors and the quality is also amazing.
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.
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.
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.
When this tile project first started, I hated it. I thought he was so wrong on everything, from the tile choice itself to the not measuring the distance between tiles, etc. But now, I'm loving it. I'm as relieved as if this was my own freaking kitchen. So excited to see the final project!
Same! Lol
Use a dark brown grout to match the cabinets either that or neutral so that you focus on the tile and not the grout
I agree!
I also agree! It would be too much competition for the rest of the kitchen.
Floors are generally appealing due to their texture or color, not the gout lines or grout color.
It would be too much with all that has been incorporated so well!
SO proud of you and how you challenge yourself to learn new skills. Thank you for sharing your home renovation journey with us! Blessings! 🙏🏽❤️
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 🎉
The marble backsplach behind the book shelve is Gorgeous!!!
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.
I absolutely love watching your videos. I love learning from you, watching you discover new design elements, and watching you make spaces amazing!
Absolutely love the floor tiles! They look so good, perfect vibe for the kitchen!
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!
Drew what you doing outlet covers , the floor is perfect ♥️
I love your videos! So meditative to watch you lay the tiles. And informative! Your house is coming along so beautifully. I'm so happy for you! Congratulations, Drew! You're creating such a wonderful space for your creative, abundant life! Bravo!!
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!
It is so refreshing to see tile in the home.... something different
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!!!!!!!!
I am head over heels for the tile 🤩❤️
Finally, the floor tile!
Never tiled before. I love that you are fearless.
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
Tiles look fabulous Drew. MOST EXCELLENT job for your first time!
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!
I saw a mushroom grout at Home Depot, also when I looked at natural tile it should be sealed before the grout
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 are the only DIY decorator I watch. I adore your energy which I find uplifting. Your home is turning out fantastic and I loved it as soon as you showed it!
The floor is awesome and a great cutting job with those tiles!
It is the fiercest kitchen I have ever seen star quality 😍
You can get a grout color kit for $23.07 from home Depot.
LOL you are AMAZING 💟
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.
Drew..I love your sound effects 💕💕💕 You are so sweet..Your friend is an angel always helping..🧚
Drew, you did a great job on the tile. I love how it turned out.
The tile looks amazing! It fits the Spanish style home you have perfect.
I bet MaCenna would know which one you should use as far as texture and colour. She did a fabulous job with her choices!
Mortar does not stick to old mortar like glue. You may find overtime your floor lifting and the new mortar flaking causing your tiles to crack. Sincerely hope this does happen.
Is there anything you can’t do, Drew? Absolutely beautiful.
I love the color that is showing in the shadowed part of the grout hole😊 A light grey not too cool, not too warm
I actually love the color of the mortar 😅 wouldnt mind the grout in the same color😂
I cannot wait to see your choice of grout... it can really change the look completely! I have done a lot of tiling myself in former homes and really enjoy the process... you have the patience to do it right! Keep on this delicious journey... it will mean so much more for you to have done it yourself. PS I have seen professionals tile both under cabinets and in front of them... just be sure to keep a spare box in the attic or storage in case you need to repair...in one house I had to dig out the tile in order to replace the dishwasher, then re-tile in front....a pain but certainly not impossible!
