The tile is lookin' good...

The tile is going in and it looks great. It really warms the space up.
These pictures were taken a few days ago, so now most of the tile is in as is most of the grout.
They should be done by Wednesday or Thursday. Once all of the grout is in, we will roll a polyurethane sealer over the whole surface to seal the grout and the tiles. We purchased presealed super saltillo tile, but most installation instructions we have found encourage a topcoat after installation which is then reapplied every two years or so.

A few other things . . .
Here's the railing from the loft. David welded it and it turned out really great. I need to get a better picture of it from the bedroom. You can also see how all of the colors meet in this photo.

And one more picture . . .
Here's a panoramic picture of the view from the deck. Click for a bigger view. David said the sunset was great the other day. I've missed them so far, but I can't wait to catch one.
