Okay, grout suggestions: Laticrete #56 Desert Khaki or #27 Hemp (FYI the Permacolor Select has built in anti-stain/anti-mold properties) Mapei #35 Navajo Brown Custom #382 Bone or #183 Chateau Either Bedrosians or Floor and Decor should have grout samples. And PLEASE make a point to seal the travertine before grouting so the grout doesn’t seep into the stone and stain the edges!

[@kayelle8005]

This comment needs more likes and comments so hopefully Drew or Justin sees it.

[@cece9145]

Awesome info!

[@striketochill]

He replied to another comment confirming he will seal first. Phew!!

[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

And here I was terrified that he never get the grout off that beautiful natural tile, now I know. seal it first….You are never too old to learn. I’ll probably never tell another thing in my life, but now I know. L O L

[@bettyduffie3714]

Please do seal before grouting.

[@Patti-1962]

I have to tell you guys a funny story about grout.... We moved to the Bay Area of California when our kids were very young. Our house was in a community with a lot of hills, and the dirt was a dark, brown color. So after having our first floor completely tiled, I took a sample of dirt and matched the grout to it!😂 No worries about muddy shoes messing up our grout!!

[@cece9145]

Bravo! Great idea!

[@marshastopa]

I once knew a woman who specified “German Shepherd Tan“ for her carpeting. Brilliant!

Hi 👋🏾 Drew!!! Anything you do turns into pure beauty. You are so genius. I love you.. and hope you have a very blessed weekend darling. ❤🙏🏽

[@msplum3306]

Drew, be sure you put a sealer over all grouted tile areas so when a liquid is spilled it won’t absorb into stone or grout, which will happen b4 you can grab a towel. A sealer will also make it easier to clean up shattered glass from a jar, dishes or glasses. You might even seal it twice. It’s a big troublesome problem if you don’t.

[@kathyreese4052]

They make a really cool additive for grout that has a polycarbonate in it so you don't have to seal the grout anymore and makes the grout non porous. They carry it at home depot.

[@msplum3306]

@@kathyreese4052 Great to know that! What about for the stone itself? Like brick? My sister had a brick kitchen floor and after spills and glass breakage, her husband finally sealed the entire floor w/several coats. Prior to dealing Her small kids were also tearing up their bare feet and would fall as socks caught on rough bricks.The floor was already there when they bought the house. Guess was best choice in their situation.

[@Chaos_of_beauty]

Mapei has great grout colors and the quality is also amazing.

[@Ldeneri]

I love how you just jump in. I’m so impressed with you moxie! I know already mentioned is Mapei grout. Available at Floor and Decor. Also they also have designer on hand to & Extremely knowledgeable when it comes to grout, colors available and what type to use. Bring 2 pieces of tile with you. They have grout samples bars you can place between them to pick the perfect color no need to buy lots of take home samples. Enjoy!

[@elephantintheroom5678]

I love watching how you just have a go and do things yourself. I love people that do that.

[@jocewaitwhat]

If your tiles arent sealed, you may need to do that before grouting - otherwise they can come out cloudy and dusty (as the grout will stick to them)

[@cindymccoy1850]

That's a great point that has happened to me.

[@lonefox]

Yes 1000% I plan to seal them prior to grouting!

[@belindajames3541]

Very true. I'm also assuming that you're using white tile adhesive with white /light grout. Some people seal the tile before laying top, bottom & sides if the tile is particularly porous.

So impressed that you did all that tilework! I tiled a small bathroom floor a few years ago, had to get it done in a single day. It was harder than childbirth, no lie. And came out uneven, unfortunately. Tile workers definitely earn their money! Go with a darker grout that will not show the dirt! Another lesson I learned from that bathroom makeover.

[@MaryseRacine7640]

Just to let you know, when there is no tile under the cabinets, it’s because the contractor cut the corner to save money…we renovate our kitchen and we did put tiles under the cabinets. If the next owner want to change the layout of the kitchen, at least he will not have to worry about matching the old tiles with the new ones. It is the same with wood floor.

[@isabelleblanchet3694]

Exactly! We move the cabinets in my house and did not have to redo the floors because the tiles are also under the cabinets.

[@DrewScottVideo]

Ahhh this totally makes sense!

[@crystalwhaley2363]

Looks great! The whole ‘room’ is going to be gorgeous!

[@whiteserpent6753]

That's not entirely true. They advise you not to put certain flooring materials under cabinets due to expansion/contraction of the floor, and the potential for it messing up the leveling of your cabinets over time. We were perfectly willing to pay to put our flooring under the cabinets in our renovation but were told we should not do it.

[@aviditee]

Currently remodeling our home and we’ve too decided to run the flooring under the cabinets - so that in the future, either us or new owners can change cabinets without having to also re-do or match the flooring.

[@trecagilbreath6559]

Looking good drew! We used this same tile for our backsplash. NOTE: before you pick grout color ~ decide if you are going to seal tile. If you seal tile ~ it WILL change color of tile. Just wanted to give you a heads up before picking grout color. Can’t wait to see what you decide. As always thanks for sharing with us all. ~Treca

[@robinz2000]

do make sure you seal the tiles. Because any food or whatever you drop on the floor will stain them. Also, I would go with a lighter color grout as opposed to a darker tile grout. The reason being you want the tile to be the star of the show as opposed to the grout being the star of the show. And I can't remember if you can seal the grout or not but if you can I would highly recommend it. I just have dealt with tile when you spill stuff on the floor and it's a pain to get up.

I have done a lot of tiling myself in former homes and really enjoy the process... you have the patience to do it right! Keep on this delicious journey... it will mean so much more for you to have done it yourself. PS I have seen professionals tile both under cabinets and in front of them... just be sure to keep a spare box in the attic or storage in case you need to repair...in one house I had to dig out the tile in order to replace the dishwasher, then re-tile in front....a pain but certainly not impossible!

[@idaslpdhr]

I know it's too late now but you should have put down a self levelling compound first on top of the old tile adhesive that would give you nice level floor to start on with your new tiles

Silicosis is a thing you should be careful about since you're likely to deal with materials containing silica (like mortar) on a regular basis. I'm a ceramicist so I'm just always hyper aware of the threat of it and that big cloud set off some alarms in my head.
