In this episode of "Check In Ready", I share a lesson learned the hard way: never leave grout decisions to chance! Join me as I recount the tale of a beautiful terracotta Spanish tile backsplash that almost took a turn for the worse when my handyman chose bright white grout—without consulting me first. Spoiler alert: it didn't quite match the rustic vibe I was going for. Thankfully, it all turned out fine in the end, but this experience taught me the importance of personally selecting every material for a project.

Tune in for a funny, slightly stressful story, and take away a valuable tip: when it comes to design, the details matter—so always choose them yourself!
