Mudroom

So, I really don't have a mudroom, but this is the landing that you walk into to enter the house from the rear.
I really wanted something to match the blue paint, and yet still hide dirt.  I chose a darker grout, which I think looks really sharp.

What do you think about my first tile job?

When I moved into this house, someone had tiled and laminated the landing and steps.  So, when I pulled that up, the steps were coming with it.  So, I had a stair company down the street custom make a new staircase for the rear entry.  I received them unfinished, and had to find someone to install them myself, but overall I was very happy with them, and the price.  It ended up costing about $700, but I chose higher quality wood, and because of the odd shape of the entry, I had to have them made custom.

I painted the trim white to match the rest of the house.  The steps I stained to match the kitchen floors.  The kitchen is just on the other side of that door.
