penny tile with typography/week four one room challenge

Hello! Well we’ve made it to the halfway mark of the One Room Challenge. YIKES! We still have so much to do so I am going to just celebrate for a moment our ALMOST tiled entryway. To recap our previous weeks catch up here:

WEEK ONE/ WEEK TWO/ WEEK THREE

On to this week. We worked on the tiling the entryway.

Penny Tile from Home Depot

I knew from the beginning we wanted the entryway tiled in penny tile. It fits the age of the home and we have black and white penny tile in the upstairs bathroom. I also knew I wanted to provide an instagram moment for the house since it will be an Airbnb. Something similar to these.

I will post a tutorial after the One Room Challenge. But I am so excited with how it turned out.

Adding the border around the penny tile

Laying out the words. The house is two blocks from Lake Michigan which locals call the “Fresh Coast” or sometimes the “Third Coast”. So I played around with that until I settled on….

Still needs to be grouted.

So, as I said we are ALMOST finished. We still need to grout! But I am truly excited about how it turned out. I am not going to lie it was TIME CONSUMING. But well worth it. Next week we are working on trim and paint!

A big thank you to the One Room Challenge and Better Homes & Gardens
