I finally found a DIY I never want to do again… 😅
 Grouting looked so fun in every video, but let me tell you—it was messy, exhausting, and way harder than I thought.
 I used a premixed sanded grout I found on clearance (because frugal, obviously), and tried every method from grout floats to just slapping it on with my hands.
 The wipe-down part? Brutal. And no, I didn’t protect the countertops. Classic me.
 But it’s DONE and I’m so close to wrapping up this kitchen makeover!
Switch plates and decorating are next…
