    Greg & Katie, there is a reason that most kitchens are not BOLD. In time Purple or Red tiles wears on you to the point of wanting to scream every time you walk into the kitchen. Your choice of tile and grout will be pleasant for many years. Excellent choice!

    Greg & Katie, Your Tile Job is just fantastic! Your Floating Shelf takes this project over the top. What else are we to expect for the "Master Builders"? You have built a Home to be proud of. You can be proud of your accomplishments.

  • @samanthawinslett202
    @samanthawinslett202 Před 4 měsíci

    Yes! I love the kitchen color theme. Good job Katie & Gregg. Only suggestion is to rethink the outlet color. In my opinion it should either match the grout color or dark handles of cabinets or even the dark stove color. The light outlet color should be darker...

  • @Kwazulujabul
    @Kwazulujabul Před 4 měsíci +5

    Love the tiles. If the kitchen cupboard’s wood colour is too orange for, you can alway paint them.

  • @jellyfish6796
    @jellyfish6796 Před 4 měsíci +1

    Perfect grout choice ties everything together, the tile touching the counter top needs to be sealed with silicone since it will see water and sponge too often.❤

  • @justiceO8149
    @justiceO8149 Před 4 měsíci

    I like the kitchen ! I think some of the sleek grey white kitchens of today are soulless! The timber is warm. The idea of painting the lounge side of the cabinets could work, but ...maybe it's all beautifully chosen too :)
    Maybe conceding a shade more warmth mixed with the walnut stain for the shelf / window surround might bring it all together... it's so hard to get colours through a video, but I like it!

  • @afos3462
    @afos3462 Před 4 měsíci

    The main thing about building the place that you call home is that you can change some of the fixtures or fittings that you may not like. But it takes time, and you will both know when you want to change something. Normally the changes you make are improvements and these are because you were unable to afford what you eventually upgrade to. You should enjoy using what you now have and in the future you will change to something you both believe it is better, normally when you have the money to do so! You have done really well and you have gotten a usable tidy kitchen, but it will change and you will both agree on something different in the future! Keep safe and enjoy your new finished kitchen.

  • @steveforster6653

  • @markbrown9765
    @markbrown9765 Před 4 měsíci

    The tile looks great. My wife and I have built a couple houses, working on our third now (and last). You'll have decisions that you make along the way that you later question. It's just what it is. Everything from color/material choices to, "I should have flipped the whole house plan and put the garage on the other side". In the end it becomes your home. As you walk through it everything is something you did, with memories of you both working on it together. Maybe next time you'd do it different but it still the home you built together.

    Your kitchen looks beautiful, the tiles look Great imo, especially since you put some color in their on your shelf, keep the colors in the accessories, always, it's an easy way to change things out, having a neutral background.

    @maryricketts8526 Před 4 měsíci

    I love it. It turned out beautiful. Like they say te floating shelf brings it all together.
    I like the tellow teapot. That could be an accent color used throughout it little things. A pillow, a vase, a plant. Just go with your vision and it works out.
    The color scheme in my house is all based on one print hanging in the frontroom. A gift, and it brought everything together.

  • @sherw6456
    @sherw6456 Před 4 měsíci

    Purple tiles with green grout? Now that's MY kinda kitchen!!! Hahaha!
    During the tile install, I wasn't so sure, and saw y'all were a little apprehensive as well about the color choices, but in the end, seeing the tile and grout combo along with the wood on the ceiling, it all just *worked*! Well done! Maybe some pops of color, a few fun accent pieces, will find their way in to add a bit of interest as time passes, but for now, a subtle canvas has been created, and a beautiful place to start the new kitchen.
    Love what y'all have done and are doing!

    I have been following you for a couple of years and am always impressed by your industriousness. I also admire your “can do” approach to most of the challenges you face.
    I am a professional person who in retirement bought himself a sawmill much to the consternation of my family and have woodlands so can mill my own lumber and build things that is immensely therapeutic and satisfying.
    Just started milling oak to build 10 new window frames , as have built and kitted out a full workshop.
    Keep going as looks like you are much closer to the finish than the start!😊

    Well, I LOVE the tiles, grout, and the floating shelf! I like the colors and textures in the house - they’re not what I would have chosen because I’m a boring, match-y person! I think the grout color is my favorite thing! I’m anxious to see what color you paint the area under the bar.

  • @kurtchainsaw
    @kurtchainsaw Před 4 měsíci

    The grout and tile looks amazing! My wife and I got some tile recently second hand and I hadn’t seen a layout I liked until now. Also I think a cooler tone in paint or tile helps balance the warmer tones in wood! The house is looking amazing. Y’all are inspiring!

  • @jackreed3445
    @jackreed3445 Před 4 měsíci

    Another job well done!
    The style of tile placement as opposed to staggered 1/2 off is so much harder to make look right but you two killed it. Also the color you ended up with for tile and grout really does well for dividing the 2 colors of trim/cabinet colors. The floating shelf is the icing on the cake.
    Looking forward to more inside work as you finish turning your house into a home.
    Take care,
    jack

    I learned to hate back splash work because of all the cuts and hunching under the cabinets. I have never seen straight stacked tile placement. I looks Great! Great job! And never look at it before grout goes in, it always looks bad. Minimal cuts and speed is the key! Matching existing decor is always best. Great job on back splash and color! Keep adding subtle accents around!

    12:27 an old trick that I learned from a crew that did a bunch of tile work for me. They took all their grout and put it in pastry bags and that way it went exactly where needed it to be and then scrubbed, it was so fast and the cleanup was so easy.
