Well...the Felix house is beginning to look live(able) again:-) After 4 full days of tiling, the project is complete and we could not be happier. My parents, Dent, and myself have put in TRIPLE time the past 4 days to get the job completed.
We started off in my hallway and dining room. It went very smoothly and Dent and I learned a lot. So, my dad let us have rein over the dining room as he worked on the entry way design. Dent and I got a "THUMBS UP" from my parents in the dining room, so we ventured into the kitchen to lay the design I had chosen. At last the job was complete and WE (Dent and I) were so proud of ourselves:-) Next it was time to begin on the entry way...What a CHALLENGE!!! My Dad (the CREATIVE one) decided my entry way needed to stand out and be one of kind, so that is what happened. It took my dad a whole day just to cut tile to place in my entry and once it was all cut we tackled the challenge ahead of us ONE TILE AT A TIME. YES, it was very time consuming, sweaty, and stressful at times...the finished product in all the different rooms was amazing.
This photo shows the decorative piece that ends my dining room and entering into my kitchen.
Here is my kitchen. I choose to do a different tile in my kitchen to break up the large dining room and kitchen area. I LOVE the dark time with the light tiles.
This my hallway. The photo does not show all the different colors in the tile. It will be a very kid and adult friendly tile that will HIDE some of the dirt and other stuff that gets dropped on my floors. My dining room is the same pattern and tile as my hallway.
AND...for the my GRAND ENTRY way...HERE is the finished product. I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. It is very eye catching and ONE-of-a-KIND. My dad worked his MAGIC on this project:-)
As for the other home improvements...Carpet for all the bedrooms is on its way, doors are painted with new hardware for all the bedrooms and closets, and...We are trying to decide which project to do next...new kitchen cabinet doors or new vanities and tile in both bathrooms. BUT, I am sure we will be taking a break from all of this to clear our heads and make the BEST decision for the next project:-)

WOW!! I love the tile, I'm totally jealous! You can send your dad to my house! LOL I'm glad you like the pics... I've been playing around with a few myself, trying to find some for a collage!!
Brandy,
Your tile is just beautiful!!! Yes, the entry is really a masterpiece!!
It's wonderful that your parents, especially your Dad is sooo talented and creative with all of that.
I'm so proud of you and Dent for learning from them and able to do it on your own. That's really cool!!! I know you are going to enjoy it so much.
Love,
Deb
