what i'm loving this week

Grout Stain

My current obsession is grout stain — it is a stainer + sealant in one and its made to be applied to your grout lines to both change the color and freshen them up.

I just did my entire kitchen backsplash to take it from white to a dark grey and make my white tile pop. It has a hexagon pattern that was just too gorgeous to be camouflaged by white grout.

Grout stain comes in over 40 colors and it’s just $14 a bottle!
