Mudroom Makeover on a Budget

We had left over tiles from our lake house projects and we had been wanting to tile our mud room at our home for at least twelve years. Saddled with tiling experience from the lake house we purchased the mortar and grout to accompany our tiles. This is what we started with...

Tiling on concrete was a tad easier because the subfloor was ready to go. We did not have to add cement boards. If there are low spots, you should level them out with concrete leveling. 

We laid out a few rows of tiles to take measurements in order to figure out the best starting point. It turns out that the width of the room was even from wall to wall for complete rows. It is not recommended to start along a wall, however in our case it made a lot of sense to save time and tiles. We only had a certain amount of leftover tiles and we were crossing our fingers that we would have enough to complete the room.

So for very little money we tiled the mudroom and painted it. It is amazing what a little paint will do to freshen up a room!
