Bathroom Floor

It is always the old trends that come around to haunt us. In this case: HONEYCOMB flooring. This tile work was in my upstairs bathroom, and although it was in okay condition, it never seemed to feel clean due to the grout creases. Also, because of the light color, you could see any, and every, little piece of dirt on the floor [I'm not going to pretend my house is kept immaculate]. Also, much of the tile is chipping, which causes it to look even dirtier. Since a complete remodel for this bathroom is waaay down the line, I thought I would do something easy and inexpensive.

Here is a picture of what the bathroom looked like with the honeycomb tile. 

Laying out the tiles, trying to get a feel for what I will need to trim.

Almost done...

And after it's all in. The lighting doesn't really do the color or pattern justice, but the darker shade of brown makes the vanity pop. 

I like the contrast of the dark flooring against the teal-ish tiles and white fixtures. I just couldn't understand the yellow flooring..

It just looks/feels so much cleaner! 

I found these tiles at a local discount store for less than $20. It took me about an hour and a half (after spending most of the time cutting edges) to completely lay down.  I would say it was well worth the time and effort! An excellent temporary solution until I can afford my dream bathroom (ha).
