A Grouting Disaster!

I swear we are just prone to problems with this house project!  Today we decided to finish the grouting in the 1/2 bath, mudroom and clutter (laundry) room.  Everything was going smoothly....until we were finished.

WHAT IS THAT???  That grout is suppose to be charcoal in color!

We also couldn't get all of the grout off of the face of the tiles!

In our defense, they have A LOT of texture.

It was EVERYWHERE.

And we can't just leave it that way.  We're going to have to figure out a solution to the problem.

(seems like we've been saying that A LOT!!!)

See how "mottled" it looks?

We've obviously done something wrong.

UGH!  So we're home for the night and researching on the internet how to fix this.

Sounds like we may have used too much water when we wiped the grout.

AND...we were trying to do too big of an area at once.

GERRRR!

Tomorrow we are OUTTA here. (runaway, runaway)

Heading to Missouri to pick up our exterior doors.

I think my brain (and body) could use a few days off!!
