    Very tiny powder room. I like that you're using up left over materials and it's a budget do over. It's looking really cute!

      Dear friend, you should just try tiling on a scrap of wood to build confidence. When you see how easy it is you can plan your tile and pattern. In the U.S. we can rent an electric tile saw by the day, you will be so good at it. Lay out your pattern and put your mastic on your surface wall or floor). Place your tile adjust it how you want it (place spacers), clean out your grout lines and surface of tiles then let dry (set). Come back after tiles are set, grout the tiles then clean the surface of the tiles (in my opinion this takes the most time). Tiling is not difficult, personally I tend to make a mess (but that is not the tiles fault it is mine). I would recomment covering your cabinet top with plastic to save time and effort in cleaning. May you have the best year in 2025, Happy New Year from southern CA, USA.

    Looking really good. The last time that I wallpapered was 34 years ago and I was 8 months pregnant. We did our really small half bath but luckily it wasn’t under the stairs. However, both my husband and I were in there working on it so it wasn’t under really cramped. Don’t be afraid of tiling the backsplash, with your DIY skills it shouldn’t be too hard for you. We have done two different kitchen backsplashes over the years and they both turned out nicely.

    The stick down tiles you mentioned were they luxury vinyl tiles? If they are you can use a hairdryer to heat them up which releases them. We had LVT put in our house 3 years ago and they're amazing. But they should be put down on to boarding not directly on to the concrete like I can see in your video. Love your ideas and can do attitude as always. Can't wait for your next idea Catherine.

    • @DaintyDiaries

    If you manage to get the floor tiled, I suggest getting a rough tile instead of a smooth one. My brother is a contractor. When my mom was alive, she almost slipped and fell on her tiled kitchen floors, so he ripped them out and replaced them with tiles of a rougher texture. It's what I'm going to do in my next house. In our previous house, we tiled my office and the adjoining bathroom. It was so worth it! If given the choice I would choose tiled floors over floating or linoleum any day. You're getting ready to dive into tiling soon - and I am all here for it. It's something I want to learn how to do too.

    • @DaintyDiaries
      @DaintyDiaries  Місяць тому +1

Oh I laughed at your wave to the irate driver 🫢🥰. But just pretend it was someone who recognised you Catherine😆. Oh and the wee room (do you get it wee room😆) looks lovely.

    Dainty, I turned my extra bathroom into a "posh" liu as well. It took me 9 months to get everything done as it was mostly done with pieces from charity shops here in the US. I'm hoping to post my first video to UA-cam soon. Pray for me bc I'm kind of nervous to do it, especially the editing part of it. Shavanne's liu tured out great as well as her bedroom.

    The tile, like you, I'm not sure about laying them. So I sidestepped the issue and bought big tiles had them cut to size.so the only grout is top bottom and where they meet in the corner join. Love it.some aluminum beading and it was done. Easy peasy. Love that stripe paper, well done xx

    Happy New Year,! Hope you're feeling much better. The panelling & wallpaper have made such a difference to this adorable little room. I can't wait to see the detailing on your next video. I had lvt plank flloring fitted straight on top of ceramic floor tiles. The planks had the cushioned underlay attached & the joiner clicked them together. No adhesive used. It made such a difference.
    Take good care ❤xx

    Posh pee or posh poo!
    Reminds me of a hotel in Exeter. I was living in rural Devon and had to travel into Exeter city centre for an appointment. I desperately needed the toilet I was by the Cathedral at the time so nipped into the Ivy hotel. Talk about posh pee I’ve never seen a more Liberace Lav ever. I took photos the wall paper lush and marble and golds for the hand basins then I looked up at the ceiling and it was encrusted with flowers and pink glass chandeliers. Very OTT but better than emptying your bladder in a Mac Donald’s toilet! lol I would love you to see the photos. Esp the wallpaper!

I’ve just finished a full tiled shower and ooof it was a job 🤣 Actually jealous of the size of this project, looks so therapeutic haha has me wanting to avoid mine and start another mini project 🤣 (p.s. in regards to the floor, you may have already done it, the LVT planks usually come up with heat! a heat gun usually dislodged the adhesive and you can then scrape up!!) x
