So close!

As soon as we (or Jay at this point in time) finishes painting our test wall, we can put up the final pieces of trim and we will be 95% finished with the house project. The final step is grouting the new tile Jay installed this morning in the front entrance area. We have to let the tile set for a couple days and then grout. We settled on the tile. I wanted this amazing Motawi Tileworks looking tile, but at $100 a square foot, we figured our budget didn't allow for it. We searched and searched, and couldn't agree, so thanks to Home Depot, we found a porcelain tile called Bengal Slate and settled on putting a pattern of 2x2 squares and 6x6 squares in the area. Came in under $400, so we were quite happy. All our other ideas were going to be in excess of $700, and that seemed ridiculous.
