Wow! Your DIY portfolio on projects is incredible! The diversity 😱 I mean sewing, gardening, bee keeping, author, multiple crafts on the circut machine, woodworking and now tiling?! (You Probably know more that I'm missing off the top of my head) But my point is you are a true DIY queen 👑 your projects look incredible even with the little 'mistakes' (that you openly point out) and I aspire to have your level of natural perfection. Well done Catherine, huge well done 👏🏻 what an inspiration 💕

[@DaintyDiaries]

🥹🥹🥹 okay I’m screenshotting this and next time I’m having a bad day! Im going to revisit this lovely comment ❤ thank you for your kindness and support

[@mhtammi]

I love how you don’t shy away from projects that might be hard. It’s inspiring and gives me confidence to try more diy projects.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you so much-that’s such a lovely thing to say! 😊 It means a lot to know my projects inspire you. x

[@kathymchale8817]

Lovely improvement Catherine. I’m sure Nanny is pleased with your great work. She’s blessed to have you.

[@DaintyDiaries]

☺️ thank you ❤ she’s loving it

Catherine, I once had a corner sink with an eyesore drainage pipe - and came up with a solution I was very pleased with. I purchased 3 foot wide eyelet fabric with a scalloped edge, and cartridge pleated it along the unfinished edge before hemming it to length. Then I sewed the fuzzy portion of hook and eye tape to the back of that hemmed side …attached the rough/hook portion of the tape along the sink edge, and hung my sink skirt. It was reasonably inexpensive and elegant - and because it was detachable, it could easily be washed. While I could have left it like that and used behind the skirted area for storage, space in that powder room was minimal. So I opted to install a hook just under the drain pipe, gather the skirt loosely with a ribbon finished on either end with small O rings, and hang both ends of the ribbon from the hook. This swept the skirt off the floor out of the way so movement in and out of the room wasn’t impeded. I thought it was a great way to hide the pipe! ps ~ Upon reflection, I believe I used a length of “sewer’s Velcro” on the skirt, and purchased a length of adhesive-backed crafter’s Velcro to affix to the sink. While I could have tried using double-sided tape or some other glue to adhere the hook side to the sink, I opted for the fool-proof solution!

The 'Throne Room' looks lovely, Catherine. The tiled splashback, brings everything you have done, together. And it's also made the room, look a lot bigger. I love watching all the progress. Never give up on what you love doing.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you 🥰 that’s really really kind of you I’m happy with how it’s going and now to tackle the floor and small bits

[@kajalsingh9554]

The tiles really upped the look of the bathroom. Great job.

[@dawnmitzner5222]

What an upgrade! I am really impressed with how this turned out. So nice of you to help out Shavon. She must be chuffed with her beautiful toilet. You’ve got some mad skills, girl! ❤

[@elissachilders653]

Girl, your talent just amazes me. I’m sure your friend is so delighted with all the work you’ve done for her.

[@pamrauhuff2375]

I am so pleased to see you dive in to a tiling project. Yes do not buy on impulse just to show in a video, if you add it later then we get an extra video. Wow you already have a tile saw, now you do not have an excuse. Yes, you go girl you got this all the way! Just smuch it in, looks like a pro handled this project. Love from southern CA, USA.

[@terrythomas2735]

Great job. My friend and I went to Home Depot and took one of those 30 minute classes on how to tile and we tiled her kitchen. It turned out great. You are awesome

[@fionamoriarty4050]

Your a mighty women for one women , love all your videos ❤

[@Welivebythesea]

😂 oh yes, we can spot procrastination a mile off! But you always get the job done. I tell myself it's planning and prep, not procrastination 😉

[@DaintyDiaries]

😂 yes. Planning and prep and NOT procrastinating

[@ImeldaByrne-z4x]

You did a absolutely brilliant job with that tiling. You'll be grand to tackle the kitchen now! Also love the plants you picked up. x❤🇮🇪

[@CathyWinkelhake]

I have a hint for you. When working around a drain, crumple some old plastic bags, tape in place over the drain with painter's tape. Put an old towel or rag over it. It's much easier to clean that than snaking your drain. Or finding a missing ring! I was a DIY fiend in the 1980's. The men in hardware stores asked me where my hubby was.😮

[@rosemarybushea3447]

Oh, Catherine, you are a breath of fresh air on this day! Lovely video, great tile work, and Yes! The skills we have from other crafts, like sewing, serve us well in many areas. Cheers!

[@Lisakitty417]

Catherine you are AWESOME! Your talents and skills continue to amaze me. You have come a long way on your channel. Thank you for sharing and keeping it real.

[@daniellem5175]

Wow Catherine, the bathroom is looking great. You did a fantastic job with the tile!! I love how you are not afraid to try new things!!

[@heathers8826]

That whole bathroom looks so much better now. Once you get the floor tiles in, it will be amazing! I wish I could say I have been productive, but this whole week, I have been popping cold medicine like candy from a PEZ dispenser. I did manage to finish painting around the windows in my dining room alcove and found paint for a basement project, but that stuff will have to wait until I get better. For as much as I watch your videos, I really should buy a membership to your channel. Soon! I promise!

[@kristinlariviere7939]

This looks fabulous! Way to tackle a daunting project. You inspire us all to push through our anxieties!

[@jodyfrancis5091]

It is turning out beautifully can wait to see the magic you pull off on the little bathroom!!! So for it wonderful 🤩

[@joycefernandezbaham8380]

Great job! I am always impressed when women accomplish new things! You go girl!

[@Diane-c3j]

The tiles look great Catherine, and is pulling everything together nicely 😍❤🦋

[@Toinette2883]

You did a great job looks fantastic. How awesome that you had that tile saw. It sure made the job easier.

[@DaintyDiaries]

That tile saw definitely made it easier ❤

[@lindadelzer423]

When you are putting the grout on, spread it in a 45 degree angle both directions. It fills in the seams without "smusching" in it.😄 Sounds weird, but works. Yours turned out beautifully. Love how you take on all kinds of projects. I get lots of ideas from you.

[@moirajack]

Brilliant job Catherine. Glad you gave tiling a go, you nailed it. Loving your videos🙂👏

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@joannekelly8550]

I love tile projects. I hope that your tiles do stick permanently because usually when it goes right onto a wall they eventually start coming away. It's best if you use 1/8 or 1/4 HardieBacker. I've been tiling for about 15 years. I love making stuff and collecting left over tiles on marketplace. You are amazing for taking on new stuff.

[@ankimunoz8487]

I'm been following you for some years now and girl YOU can make everything looking so easy and it looks so beautiful, THANK you for ALL inspections you give us. Much love from Spain.

[@jodieauckland8864]

Well done, girl!! Tiling is no more difficult than wallpapering, and you're a pro at that. I tend to use my fingers to really smush the grout in to the gaps and then go over it to smooth it out. That way you don't get bubbles.

[@devina1100]

Great tip 👍

[@tinekejoldersma]

And there our crafty girl did it! Yay!

[@DaintyDiaries]

awww, thank you xxx

[@susand8979]

Incredible job on the tile! I so enjoy your videos; thank you for sharing your journey with us! 😊❤

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@CoriNagy]

Great job Catherine!!! The tile looks so pretty!!! ❤❤❤

[@colleensnyder8943]

Always the ambitious and brave DIY’er. 👏👏👏 Powder Rooms are ‘small but mighty’ (😉) and should never be forgotten spaces.

[@DaintyDiaries]

😊 haha small but mighty! It’s such a fun space to get creative with paint and design.

[@jennymarshall8340]

Great job, so proud of you, a real life inspiration on two legs!

[@delinayoungs3988]

You’re so clever. I’m inspired to try tiling now. Your diy videos are my favourite to watch.

I’ve always wanted to try tiling myself! I always feel more confident to try something after I see you do it. 😊

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw, I’m happy to hear that ❤

[@bmj1680]

I’ve been thinking of trying tiling for a really long time. This is inspirational for sure.

Fantastic job, Catherine, very well done. Now you can tick off ' tiling' on your list of things to learn☺️

[@DaintyDiaries]

Definitely something I want to get better at! The backsplash will be next x

[@ivonnevermeer3600]

I bought the wood burning tool also and made several wooden garden “name” plates for different occasions very nice to do as a hobby ❤️ I love the tiles, you are one handy girl 👍🥰

[@shabbysuse7821]

It looks brilliant, lovely transformation.

[@DaintyDiaries]

[@doriscluthe9100]

Fabulous job Catherine!

[@deborarinehart2120]

Girl, you are amazing!!! You jump right in and take on the challenges. This looks great! I'm a ceramic artist in a bit of a slump and I look for inspiration where I can find it. I've taken the month of December off and so far most of January. I'm hoping to feel motivated by February. Thank you for the inspiration! Happy New Year! Cheeky thumb up!!!

[@Jo.H.]

[@ireneferrante2313]

Love the tile job! You make it look so easy. Even though I know it takes patience.

[@reginanash8774]

That is a perfect place to practice. I have done my bathroom floors and showers. It is fun to tile but it does take some time. Its not as hard as one thinks just time consuming.

[@debbebunch9973]

LOOKS FABULOUS! WELL DONE!! 😊

[@Plantingseedsoflove88]

Well done, Catherine!! 😊

[@booklady8888]

Wow, you did a great job! I enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one.😊

[@denisedelgado3350]

SO nice! 🤩 Great job! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@ShannonHassouneh-gg9gn]

You are amazing! Fantastic job!❤️

[@GardenerPhyl]

4:00 minutes in and this 🇨🇦 - land of the left hand drive was shouting, “Catherine, you’re on the wrong side of the road!” 😂

[@gloriabright7544]

Nice job! I hope to tile my kitchen backsplash soon. Inspirational video!😊❤

[@anaschulz8084]

You are such an absolute delight!

[@doloresjones8264]

That came out so nice.

[@DaintyDiaries]

thank you ❤❤❤😊

[@jennyrigby3475]

[@tashaallen8760]

Amazing what a bit of wallpaper and tile will do to a room! 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@cutiemolly]

Well done Catherine! I remember you saying years ago that you wanted to learn how to tile and here you are doing it!! Well done! 👍🏼 It looks amazing 👏🏻 xx

[@MT-tp4mv]

I recently tiled my kitchen backsplash, it’s not the best but I’m still glad I gave it a go. 😊

[@sunflowerbrown5823]

You did great! It's looking so fresh and bright! I've only resealed tile myself but our kitchen countertop really needs help. Your example makes me think I can really regrout this summer, lots of dust will happen I know. So nice to watch you with a nice warm cup of tea when it's snowing like crazy here in the Rockies! Brrrr! ☃

[@denisesmith6359]

The tiles look great, well done

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you x 👍

[@little_misscrafty]

Grand job, done it like professional Catherine. 👏 I was thinking that Etsy may have easy plans how to build smal corner storage under the sink, or alternatively repurpose 2nd hand small corner cupboard ❤

[@suefoster6574]

Looks lovely Catherine

[@Lynn_the_Empress]

I love your Irish country roads!

[@dawndawn6946]
