The tile guys arrived today and began with the mudroom floor. The tiles are more gray than this picture makes them appear. We chose porcelain tiles because they have color throughout the tile, thereby not showing scratches on a floor that will get muddy and sandy in winter. You can also see where the carpenters installed the steel door to the garage, necessary for abutting the tiles. The laundry room has yet to be tiled - about 20 percent of the tiles were broken in shipment and we're awaiting replacements.
