Berkshire Florida Tile

So this blog may not be baby related... but of all of the projects going on in  our home this month, this is one of my favorites!
  We used to have hardwood floor  in our entry way but it wasn't our color choice, and if Tia has an accident,that is usually where it happens.. .(but hey, it's by the door at least- right?) It also wasn't very sanitary with not being able to clean the crevices. So we stumbled  upon Florida tiles' brand called Berkshire.  Florida Tile: Berkshire  I hadn't ever seen this before and  honestly I couldn't decide on any other "typical" porcelain tile after seeing it.
  Ok, so I know we went from real hardwood to a porcelain tile wood look -a -like surface but just look at the difference!   
 We went with "olive" as a personal preferece, but there is a total of  5  different colors to choose from if olive isn't your color of choice. We chose a "mocha"  grout from a nearby Lowes which blends nicely with our tile and gives it the look that we were going for!

This is before...
 
 Process..

 Almost Done... dont mind the carpet samples and lack of carpet on the steps..  We are getting new carpet this week!
Finished! The grout looks very light in this picture due to the flash...i'll have to take a better picture.You can barely see the grout in the picture above..and  that is more like it!
