August 13, 2007 - Finished sticking my final piece of tile this morning!  It's already in the 90's so I'm glad to be done.  

Unless I change my mind, my grout color is going to be a mustard yellow. I was going to use up my leftovers, (creme, light blue), but I've realized over time that you need to put your best effort into each and every project because your going to be looking at it a long time. 

Red grout also would have been awesome, but I had mine for so long it turned rock solid.  I now store my grout in plastic baggies and squish out the air.  

I think the mustard yellow with bring out the warm shades in the paint color, enhance the tile colors and make the project pop out of the wall.

Since I don't see the color of grout I want at Lowes, I'll be buying pigment and adding it to existing grout to make it the color I want.  It's a very hazy day, hot, the air is full of moisture.

August 4, 2007  - I'm finding that shoes with good arch support really make a difference.  Standing such long periods of time, I find my feet start burning.  Of course, I'm wearing plastic gardening slip ons, so I can take breaks, go inside to get a drink, etc., and slide my shoes off at the door.  I wear a wet towel around my neck to keep myself cool.

Got outside early this morning around 7:30 and put in 2.5 hours.  Made  lots of progress!!!  

I'm planning on grouting first and then painting in between the design.

I'm working around the sun and heat of the day here in Orlando, Florida.
