First Time Tiling - pretty good (but not great).

I've never installed tiled a floor before - or anything else. But, watching enough DIYNetwork and HGTV it seemed doable.  We decided on 2"x2" tiles which came in 1'x1' sheets. Luckily, the dimensions of the room only had us removing a row of tiles for the walls, and only a few tiles to be nipped around the toilet opening.  Here is before it was grouted.
Grouting the tile was pretty easy. We went with an almond color and it matched the tile a lot better than we expected. As an added bonus the tile actually made the pink tub look better as well.  Here is the tile with grout in before cleaning off the tile.
And now with the grout cleaned off - not too bad. Kind of happy with the results. A few issues with the thinset mortar showing through the grout. That can be fixed.
