Never Ending Grout Lines

Whose idea was it to tile the ENTIRE upstairs bathroom? 

After Jason finished tiling, which was an ongoing process for about a year, I was super excited to order the clear glass for the shower.  But then Jason reminded me that the grout still needed to be sealed . . . each and every line of it.

Oh, and did I mention that we don't like the spray sealer?  Nope . . . Jason prefers the kind that you roll on the grout lines.  But since we had to grout the walls, the roll kind would make a huge mess, since it would likely drip down the walls.  The solution? 

Paint it on with a teeny tiny brush. 

Since Jason tiled the whole bathroom pretty much on his own, we had decided early on that sealing the grout would be my job.  So a few nights ago, while Jason and Imani watched a movie, I decided I would get to work.

I sealed

and sealed

and sealed some more.

As I painted the sealer on each and every line, I thought about what this bathroom used to be.  I thought about how my husband had carefully created each of these grout lines, making sure they were perfect, to give me the bathroom I had envisioned.

Before long, Jason and Imani had finished the movie and I wasn't even a third of the way done with sealing the bathroom.

Suddenly, there were three paint brushes and we all were sealing the grout lines together. 

If Maggie could have grabbed a paint brush, I'm sure she would have joined in the fun.

With all three of us working together, the job became much less overwhelming. 

But did I mention the lines on the floor and in the shower needed TWO coats?!
