- Hi Everyone!! Happy Sunday! Here I am showing you how I installed our new bathroom floor myself. I am new to the whole DIY Reno scene so this is easy enough for beginners and hopefully you will learn what you can do, what you should avoid and if nothing else stick to the end to see the beautiful results!!

Quick Tip from an old man! Use poster board on those hard-to-cut tiles. Mark it. Cut it out, Then try it to see if it fits. If it doesn't, just use small pieces of the leftover poster board to fill in your mistakes and tape them to the first piece you used. Once your collection of cutouts fits, just lay it on top of your tile and mark and cut it out. Poster board is MUCH cheaper than tile and by adding pieces to your original attempt, you will end up with the proper pattern. Another trick is to leave on your baseboard molding and use an oscillating saw laid on top of one of your new pieces of tile to undercut the molding. This works great on the door frame, too. Then, you can just slide your tile under the moldings and frame . That's how the pros do it.
Thanks! We removed the baseboards because they were old and we were replacing them throughout the house but that’s great advice for future projects! Thanks so much!
I'm reading your post...thank you...from me on all of your tips.🤗
Great idea thanks just starting to think through my project this was helpful!
Your floor looks great. Every mistake you make is a 'What not to do' moment. Don't be ashamed of your mistakes. You did an amazing job.
Thank you so much 😊
We said 👍
YOU get a Gold Star ⭐️! I a 66 year old woman just now learning how to make as many home repairs as I can! You are an inspiration! I feel sooo much better knowing I am not the only who may go the long route to complete my jobs BUT they do get completed! That gives me great joy. Oh, I loved your tile template solution in the end!!!! Just perfect!!! ❤️
Thank you so much Marsha! What a lovely comment to read, you’ve made my day ♥️
Exactly what I was looking for. A next to clueless woman, just going for it!! Thanks for sharing what to expect, and giving us a honest look at the potential, while not hiding mistakes. You give us all the "you can do it vibe" YOUR BATHROOM TURNED OUT GREAT!! THANK YOU 😊
Online Home Depot employee I appreciate your patience you did an amazing job
Thanks so much!
Making a paper template for tile is an olllld trick of the trade. BIG points to you for figuring it out! You did an awesome job. Especially around the toilet! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much!! 😊
I'm not sure how I came across your video, but I decided to watch it. You did a very good job. I'm a licensed contractor and I do a ton of flooring. I was impressed with your determination to make it work. I especially liked your comment about wasting a bunch of tiles trying to make a cut work out for you, 😆. Trust me, you are not the only one who does that. Even the most experienced of us do the same. I did find your video VERY entertaining. I gotta admit, I was really laughing at your expense watching you struggle. I do the same thing with my helpers when they are new. I know it's bad, but, still. But I was impressed that you did not give up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always tell my helpers, if you are attempting to make tricky cuts using a tape measure, you are going about it the wrong way because the walls are never straight and angles are never true. I'm sure you figured that out. I just use a straight edge ( or whatever works) along the walls to draw projection lines, this will account for any walls or angles that are not true.
But because you had the determination to get it done, you succeeded and that's all it takes. Next time you do it, you will be better than before. Keep at it and soon you will be a pro.
Thanks so much! Glad I could make you laugh 😝
That was a very tricky installation Your perseverance was admirable. I sat here yelling at the TV “Make a paper pattern of the tricky areas!” I was so relieved when you did just that! Great job.
Haha thanks so much! Glad you stuck with me for it 😊
Agree! And that's EXACTLY how my DIY's end up..I think you are very relatable to the average, handy woman 👍.All the way down to the dog hair pants 😆
So did I. Lol
I’m really impressed. You didn’t give up and it turned out great!
Thank you so much 😊
Looks amazing! I am 57 year old woman. Been divorced for a year and a half. After 18 years together, he did all these things, only real tile. BUT, you inspired me to try to update my master bathroom. I loved how you used construction paper to get that hard to cut tile cut! Great idea! I am like you on the cutting. I quilt and it takes me forever to get going because I am terrified I will measure and cut wrong. If you only have so much material of your patterns then you certainly can't spare too many screw ups! I measure and measure and measure and then pray abd CUT! 😱. I loved your video...thank you young lady!
I purchased everything I need to do my bathroom- peel & stick vinyl, grout, spacers, even the yellow sponge l0l. I also got a new vanity.
My friend was going to help me, but then they moved a few states away. After watching your video it doesn’t look as ‘impossible’ as I imagined. Thanks for inspiring me to give it a try.
Ooo! 😝 Go for it! You’ll feel so accomplished and proud when its all done 😃
How did it turn out?
Looks great- good job👍, but out of curiosity.What do your floors look like now that some time has passed??
what size spacers did you use?
Card board from the kids was a nice quick and simple solution. Smart
Ho la la, what a lot of work, but the result is worth it. When cutting near the door, I thought to myself, poor little girl, this is a super tough and very difficult corner. Your perseverance has given us a very good job. You can be super proud of yourself. It makes me want to do the same this fall. Thank you for your valuable advice and congratulations again. Good work.👏👏👏👍🤗
Thanks for showing not only your beautiful work but your struggles aswell, let's everybody know that it will not be perfect but doable. Great job, looks great!
Thank you so much Brenda 🤗 that means a ton!!
Girrrrrl! I can sooo relate to those tricky pieces. If you do it again, a trick I used, was poster board. Then you can just trace it. Of course I didn't figure this out until I was almost done, but it made things so much easier with the funky pieces.
🥰
Good for you diving in and doing this yourself! A good key learning is remove the toilet before you tile and grout ;) its surprisingly easy and then remains serviceable without damaging your work.
You're not wrong, but I remember putting my toilet in 15 years ago and I'll be damned if I'm gonna move that again to redo the flooring in there lol
This is a do it yourself project not everyone knows how to remove a toilet or want to. She did a good job
On the one hand, super ingenious idea to use grout on vinyl tiles to make them look like real tile as well as add some dimension to the floor. On the other hand, I wonder how the grout (which is hard) will hold up to the soft tile that is made to flex. If there are any issues, you can always use blue painters tape to mask and then apply colored silicone to get a similar effect.
You did that WITH NAILS ON 💅🏼💅🏼🤩😍✨✨✨
Haha sure did! 😍 my nail lady lovess my Reno adventures 😂😂
We redid our kitchen floors with this method! Super easy weekend project. Love the final look with the tile you picked!
How is your kitchen holding up? Very intrigued with this concept myself and am redoing my kitchen floors soon
@@valeriewoods7808 It helped up really well. Even with 2 rough dogs, kids and husband's work boots.
Way to go Bethany! Girl power to boot. Its great to see what a lot of us have gone through at one time or another with DIY projects. We learn by doing. Keep shining on sunshine. 🌞💚🇨🇦
Thanks so much 💛🇨🇦
We creative woman know how to do what we got to do to make it work. Great job. Construction/craft paper is great, easy to cut, piece together and the best template because its thin, endurable and can be slid under things ... and its cheap.
Too true!! Thanks so much!
Hard work and persistence. You have what it takes. Thanks for the video!
Don't be hard on yourself. Most of us learn in the same way you did. I remember some real messes. lol Anyway, it turned well. Give yourself a pat on the back.
Thanks so much!
Wow!! I think you did 👍great..& now when you see it & realize just how totally awesome it really does look 😀 you have only yourself to feel so darn wonderful as an official accomplished tile layer..wow that's 👍great..enjoy more projects to come 😀...
Thank you so much! 🥰
You did a great job. It looks really nice and you'd never know it was peel and stick. The Grout really changes the game.
You did a wonderful job and I love they way you cut that tile in front of the toilet. Roofing paper is also good for those tricky cuts.
Thank you so much! 🤍
You did an amazing job! The grout was a brilliant idea! I've done several projects using peel and stick tiles and I never thought about using grout to make it look more finished but I will on my next project!
Ahh I love this!! Thank you!
Im so glad u figured out that corner issue, now i feel like i can do it too...i definitely will be using that trick!! great job!!!
We all of human, and we make mistakes.But with practice, we will get it right. You did a great job. I applaud you. 👏🏽
If first you dont succeed, try, try again. You're amazing!! You stuck to your guns. You were going to get this project done and beautifully done I might add. Awesome sauce!!
Thank you so so much 🥰
I was in the back telling you just to make a template for that stubborn corner... I can’t not measure good. When they say oh cut it at 14 , 16 ths and numbers that don’t make since . So that’s why I take something to make my on pattern. First time watching your channel. Love it . 👊💛😂 congratulations you did a great job & I super loving the color.
Thanks so much!!
I love how you improvised using paper, that is something i see myself doing, You actually did a good job. I enjoyed your vid heaps.
Thanks so much!! 🥰 that means tons!
I just brought this same tile (I think) it is nice seeing an average person like me work on this and that it's ok to be extremely nervous. I've had mine sitting there for a week now waiting to get the courage. After watching this I'm so excited to go home and "wing it" basically lol. Thank you!
Ohh! I’m so happy to hear this! You’re going to be so satisfied with your work🥰 wish you all the best
Been there, done that! You got it done and you'll appreciate it so much more ! Great job.
Thanks so much! Definitely proud of myself 🤣
Hope you had a smoother time than me haha
Cool project, great work! I'm very happy that someone found grouting these tiles easy. I'm in the middle of this exact project & I'm almost in tears. I have white & gray peel & stick vinyl tiles, with iron gray grout made for vinyl tiles. Every time I wipe with the sponge, it's wiping the grout out of the cracks between the tiles. I tried wiping lighter, wiping super carefully so I wouldn't touch the cracks....nothing works. 35% of the grout I put in the cracks is being wiped out by the time I wipe the tiles clean. Im wiping immediately & doing very small sections. I went back over 50% of the cracks with more grout to fill them in, I let it sit for 8 mins thinking it would get a bit more dry in the cracks & not wipe off as easily. Now, I'm trying very hard to scrub it off the tiles with a scouring pad. & guess what, it's still coming back out of the cracks. A complete nightmare! I'm so defeated. Sorry guys. Just venting! I'm a pretty avid DIYer, but I've never grouted before. 1st & last time. 😢😮
Maybe the sponge was too wet. Mine started wet and dried super fast. I had to really scrub the grout that dried on the tiles. It looks great but told myself it’s not worth the time so I won’t grout again.
The construction paper hack is genius. I'm looking at using peel and stick vinyl tile on a floor and I will definitely use that to save my sanity.
Your floor looks so good!
Yes girl! Do it haha 😂 save yourself
The best way to do, especially tricky corners, take paper, tape it together lay it down and make a templet. Works all the time. I love those tiles.
Great job, I'm looking forward to doing that to my kitchen and my bathroom I'm renting. And I really don't want to mess anything up that I'll have to pay for it later. You make it look rather easy thank you for your time. May Jehovah God continue to bless you with your great ideas.🙏🏾👍🏾
Thanks for sharing. I picked up a few of your tricks and I will apply when I redo my bathroom floor.
wow...thats a great idea using the grout...just in time for my bathroom reno..THANK YOU for sharing :D!!!
Thanks so much for watching!! Have fun with your Reno! 😊
For odd shaped corners, I use a Contour Gauge Profile Tool. Perfect fit every time.
Good looking DIY LVT with grout, amazing.
You did the floor great! And you didn’t give up!
#That’s determination!
#Inspiration!
☺️
Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰
This looks sooo good. I didn’t even know you could use grout with sticky tile
Ya! I honestly saw it on TH-cam and thought it was brilliant!
Yeah, just read the label on the box and it tells you.
Me neither and I am fixing to do this to my bathroom and know now
templates are always a good thing they help you get the exact cut you need i learned on my own again after doing it for years when i was way younger and then not doing it for a long period of time i actually forgot how to do the cuts when i used to be really fast at it . my hubby taught me years ago but now that hes gone they are some things i have forgotten ... thank you for posting this while i wasnt even thinking about doing a floor and now after watching your video i feel like changing everything lol overall i think you did a great job for your first time i really love how it came out .:)
Thank you so much! ☺️
I can appreciate this video. Just so happen, I bought the exact floors for my daughter’s bathroom. So thanks for tips. I gonna try rock it like u did. And love the socks 😁. U did 👍🏽 great
Thanks so much!
@@mirandabethannie1794 you’re so welcome
Your a trailblazer...I admire your courage!.. you did good!
Thank you ♥️
I'm getting these installed this weekend. Difference is I'm paying someone to it. Good job lady!!
Hey awesome you jumped in and started doing your own work. It may not always come out "better"... but getting it done always FEELS better and getting it done the way you want feels great! Good job.
I love this video you just like me it took me for EVER to figure out that part ..lol. my excuse is HEY IM NOT A PROFESSIONAL..lol.. you did a good job I love it
Great job you have motivated me to start mine! Thank you for sharing. Blessings.
It's too late for this project, but next time you have to cut a tricky piece, make a paper pattern. I use brown paper and push/crease it against the wall, cut it out and re-fit it into place. If there are gaps or places where you over trimmed, which there always are, I just tape smaller pieces of paper into the spaces until it fits perfectly. Remove it, trace it onto your tile and cut. Works great.
That’s literally what she did in the video
@@Mulangtm I don't know what video you were watching but she did not make a paper pattern in this one. She measured and measured and drew on the tile. I'm talking about making a pattern from paper by laying it into the space you want to tile, creasing it at the edges and cutting it out. Then using that to mark your tile.
@@M.Campbell clearly you didn’t watch the full video because that’s exactly what she ended up doing. I’m not an idiot I can read.
@@M.Campbell 13:29 is the time stamp. You feel stupid don’t you?
@@Mulangtm You are correct. I did miss that. No, I don't feel stupid. It's a TH-cam video and it takes more than missing a scene in a TH-cam video to make me feel stupid. You are being defensive. I never said or implied you are an idiot.
You did great!!!! This looked absolutely beautiful!
Thank you!
Yes, that’s what you do. A nice piece of cardboard then transfer the design to the tile. You did great!
Looks great. My only advice is to use silicone for around the toilet, and not fill it with grout.
You are soo right!
There is a cool tool I have seen on TH-cam adds that would have helped with this. The next time I see it, I am ordering it! Thx for sharing🥰
Miranda, great job! Love your stick-to-it-ness!
Nice job definitely alot harder than it looks doing this many times I can tell you were frustrated with that one corner but you did it 👍
Watching your video really helped me with my project. Thank you.
Nice information I needed it because we’re remodeling our bathroom and we’ve never done it before.
Super smart about the construction paper! Thank you for this video!
Great job. You learn from your mistakes, don't be concerned about it. 👏🏼
Thanks so much 😊
That was a lot of time, dedication and persistence!! Kudos to you and great job!!
Great job ,sometimes you have to make a template of the difficult areas to use as a pattern.I use brown paper bags .
Brilliant
Or the paper off the back of one of the tiles.
That’s why I keep at my brown paper bags. It drives my husband crazy, but they are super handy.
@@sugoiharris1348 Be careful with the brown paper bags....I bought a brand new mobile home and my husband and I lived near the military base so we shopped there. Anyhow, I used to keep the brown paper bags not knowing they had roaches in the glue area and lets just say it took me awhile to get rid of them after I found out where they came from. I hate bugs. LOL got rid of the bags got rid of the roaches....
That’s incredibly smart!!!
Wow congratulations you did a great job 👏 👍 😀
I appreciate your honesty😊 I've been wanting to do my bathroom floors and watching your video gave me the courage to it. It looks beautiful, you didn't give up it came out amazing 👏 Thanks for the tips and for this video 👏
you go girl you figured it out loove the grout idea to protect and water proof
YOU DID A GREAT JOB, AND IT'S ALL WORTH IT IN THE LONG RUN...KEEP ON KEEPING ON...I AM A SELF LEARNER, AND MAKE MISTAKES ALONG THE WAY...
BUT, AS A FRIEND SAID TO ME "YOU CAN'T HURT A TRY"....GREAT JOB!!!
Thanks so much!!
You fail 100% of the shots you don’t take 🤪
Hi Amanga. I am new to tiling also. What i learned from looking at tutorials is to make template using bristol board the same size of your tile and use them before cutting your tile
to avoid waste. Glenna
Brilliant!
I wish I could do this. It looks good!!!. Thanks for sharing.
Looks awesome ! Make sure you seal the grout so your floors stay fabulous!
Is there a special sealant? I browsed this section of the hardware store and did not notice any sealants
Ask a cashier where it is
Wow, I have the same tile & you did a Phenomenal job! Thanks for this video and tips. I am going to try this for sure.
I think you done great for you first time , looks beautiful to me I would have quit a long time ago if I had all that measuring to do
Thank you so much 😊
This looks amazing! You've just given me hope for a project I'm doing next week.
Your upgrade definitely gave the place a much better look. You also did an awesome job and gave me the confidence to go ahead and tackle my rental by sprucing it up 🤗
It looks great! I just did my kitchen a month ago. It feels so good when you finish it.
Great job thanks for not giving up!
Thank you so much 😊
Yassss I’m going to do this in my bathroom ☺️ just got a new house thank you so much for showing me how to do it 🙏🏾
Thanks for watching! Congrats on your new house!!☺️
I came across your video as I bought Herringbone vinyl tiles, but did not realise until after I lay the first box 😳. I lay the first row and there was a carpet grip on the edges as the last occupant had carpet in the bathroom. Thought I could work round it but the flooring did not lay flat at the edge, so decided to try and remove it. Success YEPPIE! Then came the problem of the edges being on a slight curve, plus the flooring needed a bit of supper glue to stay. By the second row I noticed some gapping so went online and realised you can buy putty (out of stock😳😳). So I am going to use pre-mixed grout to fill in the gaps. I feel your frustration. At least you laid yours down first to see how you wanted it. I was tunnel vision and decide I would lay it vertically🤣🤣🤣.
Good job! It sure looks amazing!
Thank you 😊
Awesome job... I glad you didn't give up on your project. 💖💖
Thanks so much!! 🥰
Awesome job! Thanks for posting!
Hahaha. That flippin corner piece. Had me loosing it. This video was entertaining AND educational. Count those lost vinyls to no loss at all. I got a good laugh. Thank you for taking the effort and time to send this through. 👍 this momma got some good tips and tricks just from watching! Consider me subscribed
Ahh!! Thank you so much!
I’m so Jazzed you enjoyed it 🥰
Hell yeah, you made a template. Good problem solving. It will be interesting to watch you learn, and get some tips! Good video, keep it up.
I'm about to install same flooring but different color, what I did first created mold copies from card bore pieces to cut my tile to measurements specially on those difficult areas behind the toilet. I noticed you used grout around the toilet FYI use silicone instead next time, other then that you did a fantastic job 👍
Good job. I’m going to be trying this for our bathroom floor.
AMAZING!!! Loved the final product 👌🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much!!
Add mirrors to make your bathroom look larger...:-) Nice work! Also, easy to cut with heavy duty sicsors, with paper still stuck to back of tile. I make templates for difficult areas using paper.
You did an awesome job despite the challenges
You did a great job and you should be proud of yourself,looks great.
Ok girl I have some exciting news! I did my kitchen! It is AMAZING I love it and the grout is super awesome. I staggered them and I used bright white non sand grout. I had the same problem with the grout tab things. I eye balled it too. I also had a hard time learning to cut them too. lol
You did a awesome job no one is perfect great job
BTW: sometimes using a paper template helps. That way you can adjust the paper more easily and then trace it on the tile.
This looks amazing never thought of leaving grouting space with stick down tiles 😳 they look so much better.
I will be trying this next time.
Take care x
"Doing" gives us the path to experience which leads to ..."Badass!!!"...Girllll, I watched you doing this with a couple of my friends and THEY broke out into a sweat and I believed we alll lost a couple of pounds! Talk about Tenacity!!! Those tricky places would have broke(n) me!. Whew!!! you go Girl!!! Hats off to you for sharing ;)
Thank you so much!! Sorry for the late reply, I didn’t see this comment until now 🥺
Thank you guys for watching 🥰 it means so much
GOOD JOB !!! YOU HAVE GIVEN ME CONFIDENCE TODAY ! I can do it ❤️👍🏾
Thanks!! Go for it!! 😆
Welcome to TH-cam. You did good for not ever having done this before. I used this same tile in my daughter's bathroom in 2020 and I understand trying to get around those corners and curves, it was nk fun. Thanks for sharing.
I loved your video, very well explained the little details.
Thank you so much!!! 🥰
Looks fabulous! Great job! 😊
Thank you!!
Your floor is BEAUTIFUL && I enjoyed this video !! You did a really amazing job . Even with your minor mistakes I enjoyed watching you finish the job 💪🏾.
