HOW TO GROUT YOUR MOSAIC SURFACE

Now that you have adhered your tiles to your mosaic base, it is time to grout your piece. Before you begin I'd like to offer some helpful hints that will make your grouting experience as well as the clean up a more satisifying experience.

One important factor to consider ~ once you start the grouting, you must see it though the finish. Grout is much more difficult to remove the more it cures.

CERAMIC VASE MAKEOVER

 

When I saw this black little vase on the shelf in the thrift store, it was screaming makeover! I thought it's curvy rim and it's three little footers were more soft and feminine and its black color spoke to a more masculine nature. 

 

 

FOUNTAIN MAKEOVER

I got this fountain a couple of years ago. It is made of three pieces, base, bowl, and crown. Since I didn’t want an electrical cord running across the terrace, I repurposed it into a beautiful planter.

 

The original color was limestone. It was spray painted with faux stone paint; (not by me lol) which was made for indoor use. It didn’t fair well and was peeling badly and by this spring it looked just awful.
