As far as lake house projects go I am pretty much done with major things, just a few that when we have the money we will tackle them, new front door, bathroom countertop and backyard patio/landscaping.
This was one last one that just required finding the product to do it. I had seen grout being stained on some HGTV shows, and thought that would be the perfect solution to the dingy, stained grout in our main bathroom. I had tried to clean it, with bleach even, to no avail. So, after checking a couple places, I finally found grout stain at Menards...I tried Lowe's and they didn't seem to know what I was talking about? Anyway, it was SO simple and I am so happy with the results. I chose a darker color (Mocha) to hide the dirt stains in the grout.
The steps are basically like this, clean the tile/grout well. Paint on the stain with a brush, I used a small cheap one and cut the sides to make it narrower, that way I would have less to clean off of the tile in the next step. The directions say to allow it to dry for 30 min. and then spray with water and clean off the tile. I decided to just wait until it was a little bit dry and clean it off with a dry towel, which prevented the extra water mess. It all worked out and I think it looks great, much better than dirty tiles looks!

That does look really nice. And what a fantastic picture below of the girls! And I bet Amy would still love to play with a tub of snow like that.
