Well, it is actually happening… there are tiles on the wall!! What a journey I’ve had with this project. Laying tile is not at easy as it may seem. Follow the steps I took to lay the tile after the jump!

First you have to spread the adhesive to the wall, then you have to lay your panels onto the adhesive.

Since the side of the tub was so narrow, I had to mosiac it by hand to make sure everything fit perfect.

After I adhered everything I had to let it dry for 48 hrs. I came back and then had to go back over everything with grout.

A HUGE time-saver that I figured out with this project was using a freezer bag to grout with! Because the spaces that I needed to grout were so small using my finger or another tool to spread the grout did not work. I then thought of putting the grout into a plastic bag, cutting the corner and squeezing it out like icing on a cake into the creases. It worked amazingly; saved me so much time!!

The final thing looks spectacular! I have to wait another 48 hrs until the grout is completely dry then have to go back and seal it. I want to save the final photos as a surprise for my next post when I can actually say it is COMPLETELY done! Stay tuned…
