Yellow Grout And Minted Giveaway Winner

Have you guys ever had a moment where you think you are going crazy?  Like seeing things crazy?  I had that moment a few days back…and then I realized I wasn’t crazy, unfortunately.  You see- we are 90% finished with the fireplace mantle area {waiting on cabinets, boxes for the wainscoting, and decor} so its all exciting.  We grouted the beautiful marble tiles and then something weird happened.  Certain spots on the grouting {that is supposed to be white} has turned yellow.  I noticed it probably two days after it was grouted, but thought I was going crazy because I was tired and it was pretty dark in the room.  But then, a week later, I saw it in broad day light:(

We have done some research and have some ideas as to why it happened, but I wanted to reach out to y’all and see if any of you have encountered this?  And better yet, if you have- what did you do to fix it?  Im thinking some bleach, but then wondering if that could harm the marble?  Agh!  The one time we actually use that sensitive material, and then have a problem!  Such is life.

On a much happier note- the winner of the Minted Giveaway is  Amanda George. Please contact me back within 48 hours, otherwise a different winner will be chosen.

    I can’t really see it – maybe in that top right corner? Anyways – before you go crazy with bleach (which may cause issues for the marble), I would mix up a bit more grout and just add one more layer of it. Unless you are a perfect grouter, there is probably a little space to take a bit more grout.

    I had a roof leak once onto my new marble bathroom floor and the grout stained a rust colour. Just regrouted it and it is perfect now.
