The haze still has to be wiped off the tile (AND ME!) in a couple of hours, but here’s my laundry table in our 1961 ranch house in Southaven: revamped and tiled.

Kenny has now started referring to me as “grout grouch”, as I yelled for him in total panic when the grout was trying to dry out on me. The whole process has to be close to trying to will a nuclear bomb into a firecracker!

Tile was never planned in the original build; this table is about 15 years old. But a new coat of paint and tile over the MDF top makes it look brand new!
