I decided to tile my laundry room and wanted to buy an inexpensive wet tile saw to do the job.  The cheapest I could find was about $90 at a home improvements store.  I ended up buying this Craftsman for just a little more, at Sears.  What attracted me to it was the price and the fact that it has  a 3/4 HP motor. I installed ceramic tile and this made my job so m...

We have a glass shower door and very hard water.  I was constantly looking for a product to keep the calcium buildup cleaned away.  I had tried a lot of harsh products before deciding to try Method brand tub and tile cleaner. Method makes cleansers for all surfaces that are made from natural products and are biodegradable.  I thought that any cleanser gentle enough so that you do...

Lysol has one of the best tub and tile cleaners I have ever used. This is a product my teenage boys keep in their bathroom as well, it is easy to use and very effective. It has a foaming action that disinfects as it cleans, it even removes soap scum. It is convenient to use, you just spray it on and wipe it off. It can be used on most surfaces like shower doors, shower curtains, bathtubs, ...

    Matt finished ceramic tiles adds fresh look to my newly bought home on resale. Our home is 10 years old and and the floooring has never been changed. The colour of the ceramic tiles is white in colour and adds a good llok to the floor. At the same time whiteceramic tiles can be the most dirty if left uncleaned. A  good mopping once in a week is enough for that good look ...

I discovered Scrabble Tile Jewelry on Etsy.com. This is a site where you can buy and sell anything that is handcrafted. I found really cute pendants and earrings made from the Scrabble Board game tiles. The front of the tile is covered with decoupage paper, designer papers, vintage ephemera (old postcards, paper, letters, photos, etc,), stencils, handpainted images, and just about everythi...

  Last year I put my husband through another of my "let's do this honey" projects.  My idea was to redo the small half bath off our kitchen as it hadn't been touched since we moved in 35 years ago.My vision was to basically gut the room and start over.  We needed a new toilet anyway and that's what got me to thinking about this in the first place.  New ...

When I found out last year that we were replacing the carpeting at work I was excited for 2 reasons:  First, our old carpeting was just so ugly, it had been cleaned so many times I think it made it even more prone to dirt.  Second, we were going "green"!!!  After many samples were brought in for us to look at, we decided on the Shaw Ecoworx Performance Broadloom 24"...

I have a small kitchen, not as small as Tom Thumbs (which I have seen!) but pretty darn small with hardly any counter space. I finally decided that I just had to do something… and I found this Kitchen trolley on the Brylane Home website.When I received my package in the mail, I have to admit that I was surprised that it was not very heavy for the size of the package (by heavy, I mean not...

Carcassone is a a "tile-laying" board game for two to five players. What is tile-laying? If I had to stretch really, really far, I'd say it's a bit like dominoes. The trick is that edges have to match up - if one edge of the tile has a road on it, the tile it butts up against must have a road to connect it to. Carcassonne comes with 72 land tiles. Using these tiles, you place ...

Having been familiar with FLOR from the catalogs we received over the past year, I decided to finally take the plunge and try this product.  For those not familiar with it, FLOR is a carpet tile system which is supposed to be very easy to install and bears a number of eco-friendly characteristics.  As this my first FLOR install, I was a little concerned about the claims of ease o...

               We got our kitchen flooring changed when the old tiles were damaged an year ago. We got the flooring changed to these beautiful and soft carpet tiles after some cementing. We first got the floor cemented and leveled and then we covered the floor with these heuga carpet tiles which I bought after a lot of search...

My new house has hardwoods, Travertine and ceramic tile though out. When we first moved in, I had no idea how I was going to clean it all and what supplies I was going to need to do it right. My husband and I spent hours online researching the best tools to use and we decided to give the Shark Deluxe Steam Mop a try. The Shark Steam Mop cleans floors by heating plain water into a steam and...

  I just installed ceramic tile in my laundry room and used non-sanded grout.  When the job was done, I used the Aim and Seal grout sealer, by TileLab.  I really liked it because it was so much easier to use than the liquid TileLabl SurfaceGard Penetrating Sealer I had used before.  I loved that this stuff came out in a foam.  It was easy to control and fast to apply.&n...

My bathroom and kitchen are tiled, and are grouted with white.  After many years of use, the grout is looking tired and downright dirty.  There is a little mold in some areas that are closest to where water is used daily.  The bottle says to "Spray on; Let penetrate; Brush in; Wipe off".  Although it says it's for white bathroom grout, I dec...

Did you know a pizza stone can be used for more than just cooking pizzas? I bought the Brava pizza stone about 5 years ago and it is still going strong after all this time. It has held up well over the years and has sustained no damage to it. I not only use it to crisp up frozen and homeade pizzas but it also works great to warm up take out and keep it warm for the whole meal. When I order deli...

A few years ago I played Syzygy at a friend's house and had a blast!  Enough so that I went out the next weekend and bought a game for myself. Syzygy is a fast-paced word game.  There are over 300 scrabble-like letter tiles (but no point value on any of them).  At the beginning of the game they are all flipped over, letter side down.  Each player selects 9 tiles and when...
