Oh and if you don’t know what dry fitting is – basically you just take a ton of tiles out and lay them in the pattern you want and then see where the other doorways fall on the tiles. Once the piece for the center was cut and the other pieces were dry fit, we felt like we had a solid plan. I cut the bottom corner off at a 45 degree angle and it was SUPER easy to calculate the angles with the plate at the bottom of the saw and then the angle guide you clamp to the side. I dry fit a bunch of tiles first to make sure that it would work out and I wouldn’t be left with slivers over at the other doorway but things looked good and I marked the center of the doorway and made sure that it would be lined up correctly with my focal point on the opposite wall. I decided that the wall that we wanted to be the starting wall would be the entrance to the kitchen from the foyer. The cement board was already laid and things looked great as far as prep. So the first thing that we did was mix up our mortar. If you are in the DIY world and you don’t have a sliding tile saw yet….this cut our time in half….and our tiles in half too 🙂 Plus, I didn’t look like I peed my pants….which if you are a tiling person you know…that’s a thing.

In full disclaimer – it was sent to us as a gift….we never promised to talk about it or show it on the blog….but it’s literally my new favorite toy. We also needed a tile saw that would perform well with larger tiles and OMG I am obsessed with this one from Ridgid. We decided on the gray colored one just in case we missed a bit – it would blend in well. You want to make sure you get an adhesive (mortar or thinset) that is for large format tiles. The Floor & Decor selection is really massive…and it’s all right there in front of you…so whatever you need, you can buy and leave and tile that same day!Īs far as other supplies, this was my first time working with such a big tile….so the mortar is a little different. The Symphony Gray Porcelain Tile looked like it would hide dirt well, hold up to the wear and tear of everyday, and overall, play nice with our cabinets and backsplash.Īnd even though we loved the tile on display….we didn’t dig the lighter colored grout so while we were at the store, we made sure to check out the grout colors to get the one that would disappear the best. In the end, everyone loved the porcelain large format tile that had lots of dark variation.

We headed to our new fancy Floor & Decor store and picked out a bunch of different options for flooring. So let’s get to the Pedraza Project floor. If that is the case….my deepest apologies 🙂 Or it could ruin your life because you might now notice any time a tile floor is planned poorly.

Why is the center point so critical? Well…that my friends is where your very first tile goes for ANY tile job.ĭon’t be – this is easy and will help you be a pro at mastering layout for any tile floor. Knowing the layout, the focal points and the entrances are all clues to figuring out the center point. These are all important things to note when it comes to laying a tile floor. (I know…the hood isn’t in that photo…but you get the point.)

That meant that we had two focal points – the window from this view….

This space was also changing in the sense that it went from a U-shaped kitchen layout to more of a L-shaped layout. The kitchen had a new layout with two entrances (one large one from the front door foyer and one smaller doorway from the dining area).
