My fiancee and I are in the middle of a house re-model, which includes a bathroom re-model…and we found a FANTASTIC countertop at one of Habitat for Humanity’s Re-Stores. I’m sure you’re familiar with them, but check it out if you aren’t. They’re kind of hit or miss…it’s like a thrift store (oftentimes with unused items) for houses. Our countertop was a special order item that had apparently been made incorrectly, so what was once priced at $500+ is ours for only $15. Happyme.

@ Kate [CentsationalGirl] ~ when I had my hallway bathroom tiled with ceramic tile, the people that did it, told me to get some “Grout Sealer” that comes in a small bottle that you can get at either Lowe’s or Home Depot. The bottle comes with 2 sizes of applicator tips and you just roll it down the length of the grout. I’m told this step should be done about 1 week after the grout has dried. It helps to “waterproof” the fresh grout. Hope this helps you too! I’m new to your blog and find your projects very inspiring, informative & helpful. I know you revamped your old vanity cabinet and it looks like real wood ~ looks great by the way!! ~ where did you get it at? I’m looking around for an old dresser or an old cabinet [real wood] that I can “trick” out to become a new bathroom vanity. I like to re-purpose things if possible, but also have my eye on a vanity combo that I’ve recently seen. I’m not as far as you with my renovation, so can’t comment about any type of counter tops. Sorry.

@ tammylee: thanks for the info about the grout float for using with flooring tile. I have 2 boxes of leftover ceramic tile from when I did my hallway bathroom. I’m presently working on renovating my back bathroom when time & money permits. I’ve got plenty of the first one, not so much of the second one! LOL !! I’ll definitely get one of those grout floats you mentioned next week. I’ve got a bag with my supplies inside that bathroom, so nothing is getting lost. I’m working on trying to get the wall patched b/4 I put up the new medicine cabinet. Thanks again for the tip!
