Oh my gosh! Everything you’re doing in this bathroom makeover is what I’ve been planning to do. Thank you for showing me how to do it!!!

[@TheNiftyNester]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad this was helpful! I have a few videos left to post in this makeover (it has taken me forever to get them done) but I'll have them up soon. Good luck with your bathroom!

[@axidentalcreations7480]

Definetly the most detailed video on this topic that I could find. Thank you so much for this video.

[@beckyz5694]

I’m very impressed! I want to do this with my bathrooms. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and work with us!

[@vickigonya9432]

I love how thorough you are, and do such a great job!!! This us a complex pattern (actually 2 patterns, diagonal, and herringbone) kudos!!!!

[@TheNiftyNester]

Thank you so much! This was a lot of work and took a lot longer than the typical tile job, but I had fallen in love with this look and just had to do it.

You are so Bad Ass. You are definitely an inspiration. I'm ready to begin my homeremodeling process.

[@galady8632]

I appreciate your honesty, transparency and skills. I have ceramic tiles in 2 of my bathrooms but the house was built in 1967 and they are original, of course the surface is worn. Same with the foyer floor. In cold weather the tiles are hard on my 72yr old feet. I have been looking at this particular tile for my kitchen floor in 12x24 format but now I want it many areas - of course in the herringbone style as a result of your videos. I am thinking dark gray or black grout, sealed of course. Stained grout is so disappointing. I may use your technique in my Great Room although tackling a 1,200 sq ft installation solo is daunting. But definitely in my kitchen, foyer, bathrooms, office and my creative space. All thanks to you. Plus you saved me a lot of money. I knew if I selected ceramic tile floors I would have to have heating mats installed first. So an extra thank you for that in addition to everything else!

[@SheilaSpencer1]

😳 Omg! Girl you are my hero!!! That was soooo much work! I mean I love it, but man that was so much work! I don't think I have enough energy to do all of that. I wish I did. I would love to do what you did, but I would have to take the easier way out. It looks amazing, and you did a fantastic job; I just can't go thru all those steps. I need my bathroom floor done a lot quicker than all that. You are thorough and exact and amazing; I just need the shortcut route! 😂

[@aidacastellvi9269]

Looks amazing. Looks done professionally.

[@yoichiromichishige7936]

Looks nice. Going to have to get one of those rollers. I was dreading having to rent a 100 pound roller but I believe the roller used here will do a fine job.

[@TheNiftyNester]

Thank you! I've used this roller on the flooring in three rooms now, and it's worked great so far. I haven't had any issues with the flooring adhering to the subfloor.

[@makevaevans5047]

This such a beautiful instructional video. It really made me less anxious about doing the bathroom floor. Thanks so much for all the detailed information and the introduction to tools I haven't heard of :)

not unscrewing and moving the toilet huh? I came here for the grouted herringbone install and am happy. What a great look. Can you tell it's vinyl quickily? How do you feel about the matte finish?

can this be done over existing tile in bathroom?

[@GloriousDecor]

Hello Nifty, new to your channel. You are very detailed in your "DIYs." I'm intimidated😂. Yet, thrilled to listen and learn. The floor is beautiful. The name you choose for your channel is befitting to you, especially since I listened to your detailed instructions and voice. I want and need to DIY my bathroom and will use your detailed videos to do so...thanks! I'll be watching and learning...👍🏽❤

the grout makes a huge difference

I agree! It looks more finished with the grout. It's more work but worth it.

Thank you so much, I'm sorry I'm just now seeing your comment! I appreciate it and I definitely have more projects I'll be posting in the very near future.

[@dianafrances6880]

This was incredibly helpful, thank you so much!

[@ibtarnine]

This looks great. I bought the beige version of these tiles at Home Depot and I'm hoping to do a similar pattern, just with a border around the edges. Can't beat $65 for an entire floor. I'm not keen on putting it directly onto the plywood subfloor though (although that may change depending on the condition of the floor), so I'm using Quietwalk 1.4mm underlay for vinyl flooring (including glue down) over my subfloor. Haven't taken a look at the underlay (I think it has its own adhesive around the edges) but I think I'm still going to staple it down with 1/4" crown staples.

[@TheNiftyNester]

Thank you so much! I've seen the beige version, it's a really pretty tile as well. Like you said, you just can't beat the price! They say you can install on plywood subfloor but I've always wondered how well that would hold up over time. It sounds like you've got a good plan with the underlayment. I hope it all goes well!

[@pinkfreak0105]

Would love to see a final bathroom reveal!

[@TheNiftyNester]

I am so far behind on editing videos 🤣 I'm getting close to being caught up, though, and I'll have it posted here as soon as it's ready!

[@becky-kq2hb]

Great job. I would never use white grout on flooring but it does look great!

[@TheNiftyNester]

Thank you! I love the look of white grout but it has already proven to be a pain lol.

Whohoo..Wow. Great job.!!! You made me brave enough to do this all on my own. You have no idea the difference you've made in my life and bank account.❤❤❤ XOXO Edit: you know I have a question first as usual..lol. Okay...I ripped out the linoleum sheet flooring already, so now I just have the wood sub-floor. Do I still need to apply the primer? I would think so, but I need to ask the "genius expert" first...❤❤❤❤

[@TheNiftyNester]

Thank you Donna!!! I'm so sorry I'm just now responding to your comment (I'm falling behind this week). To answer your question, yes, you do need the primer for the wood subfloor. I'm glad to hear you're tackling your flooring project! As always, I appreciate your amazing comments and I love hearing how your projects are going! Good luck!

[@ashleystone7686]

What kind of tile did you use?

[@LinzseyslilPad]

How is it holding up after one year?

[@noneosharma4311]

I have ceramic tiles in bathroom (medium hexagon pattern), do you think i need to use any sealer or will it be ok to stick the vinyl planks right above the tiles? Thank you

[@TheNiftyNester]

When installing over tile you don't need to use primer, they actually say not to. If you have a fairly flat floor it should be fine. I have seen people do a thin layer of self leveler over their tile to get a flat surface to install the vinyl over but if you do that you do have to prime it and it'll be harder to remove the old tile underneath down the road.

[@noneosharma4311]

@@TheNiftyNester thank you! :)

[@TheNiftyNester]

You're welcome!

[@pechigoobooi-cheerupfam1164]

Is grout necessary for peel and stick tiles?

[@TheNiftyNester]

No it's not. You can use any peel and stick tile without grout. If you do want to use grout there are certain tiles that can be installed with or without it, which is what I used.

[@laram8255]

Best video!

[@Gina-bt8ow]

Love this ..❤

[@LinzseyslilPad]

Maybe I missed it but what is this exact tile please and also, if you cut each tile and the same dimensions, why does it go a little out of sync when doing this pattern, as if the cuts are not equal

[@TheNiftyNester]

The exact tile is Tilemaster travertine 18x18 but I think they discontinued that exact tile not long ago. They have a light travertine 12x12 now that is nearly identical. The tiles were nearly identical but with human error there's always going to be slight differences, even 1/16th inch makes a difference when you have thin grout lines and repeating patterns. I just did my best to keep the rows straight and pick tiles that fit best next to each other. It's not perfect but for an affordable DIY option I'm ok with a little imperfection.

[@LinzseyslilPad]

Thank you!

[@TheNiftyNester]

Will these peel and stick tiles works on an outdoor patio? we have a cement patio and wanted to use a tile because i am tired of repainting it every summer for a fresh look. This tile looks easier to clean.

[@TheNiftyNester]

Unfortunately, these won't work on an outdoor patio. They're rated for indoor use only. There are plenty of outdoor rated tiles. The installation process will be different, though.

[@marisacognetta4985]

Was the peel and stick Cheaper than regular tile? Or was it that you wanted to be able to cut it/install it easier? Just curious? Because a lot of the peel and stick I’ve seen is almost just as pricey as (some) of the regular tiles 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thx
