Tiles:

  • Floor tiles: cement. An important note about cement tile flooring: We’ve used patterned cement tiles in our Powder Room, Master Bathroom, and Laundry Room. These tiles require a lot of care before and after installation to keep them looking good. I’m not a tile expert but I did a ton of research and understood to the best of my ability the level of maintenance they needed from the start, but we also intentionally chose places to use them that did not get direct water and wouldn’t get too dirty. It is incredibly important that this type of tile be properly sealed because once they stain, it’s almost impossible to get it out since the material is porous. I sealed all our tiles individually by hand (with this sealer: Home Depot | Amazon) twice each before they were installed so that as they were handled in installation they wouldn’t stain. Then I re-sealed them again twice after installation. Then, every 6-8 months, I clean them extra well (with clear soap and water) and re-seal them once. It’s possible this is overboard BUT we intend this to be our forever home so any issues these tiles have many years from now will be ours to deal with so I’d rather play it extra safe and keep them protected. We’ve had a great experience with the sealer we use on our tiles, but always be sure to test any sealer you use on a spare tile or somewhere hidden before you apply it everywhere.

  1. Your design style and generosity in offering your sources is amazing! I was curious about how thick (not sure this is the right “construction” term) your laundry room countertops are? And what is the material? They look amazing!

    • No, sorry. We designed our house from scratch together so our plan is both near and dear to our hearts and also very personal to us. As such we have chosen not to share it at this time. Thank you for understanding.

    • I haven’t yet done a tutorial for it but we rubber padded it and separated from the cabinetry faces. It’s made from plywood and 2x6s. I will try to do a tutorial on how we made ours at some point but just haven’t had the time yet.

    • Hi – there’s a section on our tiles in the post above. Tiles (and most raw building products) are the only items we don’t source directly. I have named the type of tile though 🙂

  7. Oh please do a tutorial on how you constructed the base and the removable counter/sides around your washer/dryer set! We want to elevate ours during our laundry remodel, but are concerned with not being able to get behind them if there’s a need to. Thank you!!! I love your site!!

    • Our tiles were sourced locally so I don’t have links for them, sorry.
      I have named the type of tile they are in the post though.
      If you google them, you should be able to find local sources close to you.
