It looks AH-mazing! The only caution I have for others is to use LOTS of coats of the polish to seal the joints. I had done about 3 light coats, and when my dog had an "accident", it leaked through the joints and warped the subfloor. Now I have quite a job on my hands to fix it. I love it though, because its beautiful, easy to do, looks great and its not expensive. I used VCT tile in a black and white diagonal check pattern in my front entrance hallway. It looks AH-mazing!

Hi All,

Whitening tooth paste works wonders to clean white grout and is not harsh to inhale.

Checking my flooring resources up in the navigation bar, we have quite a few vintage styles, along with their makers, identified.
