| Big gouge in floor (BEFORE) |
Do any of you have nicks, gouges, etc. in your tile floor?? Working in a kitchen, especially, things drop, for goodness sakes!! I was frustrated by this and even went to my local Lowes to ask what to do. No one seemed to have an answer besides replacing the tile. Well,
I decided to take things into my own hands. Here's what I came up with....
CRAYONS!! I picked out two that I thought would work and boy, oh boy, they really did the trick! In fact, the crayon kind of fills in the hole and STAYS there! I actually had to dig out my worst hole in order to show you and I had fixed it months ago. In that accident, I dropped a favorite rectangular platter that I won, years ago, at a Taste of Home cooking show.

The nick is between the crayons, filled in and barely noticeable!!
Hooray, even if it washes out over time, I'll fill it in again. |

You are genius, seriously!
ReplyDeleteDo we have gouges???? Oh, yes indeed, we do!
I have a plain tile though - wonder if I would have as much luck as you with a moderately colored one - you completely hid your gouge, Kitty. Well done!
Now that's a neat fix! It turned out great, can't even tell there was a nick:@)
ReplyDeleteSuper great fix! Pure genius!

I am the most clumsy person ever, and forever dropping things and harming our tile floors! This is *so* helpful! There will be much less of a scare the next time I drop something! Thank you, Kitty! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tip! Thanks for sharing that, Kitty...Christine
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Kitty, and thanks for the tip!! Thank you for coming by for a visit at Bunny Cottage. Have a terrific week, my friend~Vicki
ReplyDeleteWow! That's great. I can't even tell where the gouge was . Thank you for stopping by and have a great day.

Kitty this is a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea Kitty. We have tile all throughout our main floor. Unusual I know, but we have 4 dogs and for our lifestyle tile is better than carpet or wood. There are several places that have nicks, so I'll have to dig in my crayon box to see if there is a way to hide them.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, so I'm going to put it on twitter for more people to see it. Thanks for linking up to Your Cozy Home Party!
Kitty, what a fantastic tip! Thank you for sharing! Visiting from the Bunny Hop.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! So simple --- I couldn't even see where the spot was after you fixed it. Who says coloring is for kids!
ReplyDeleteLooks good. You are very clever.
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, this is crazy easy and looks like it did a really good job!
Thanks for sharing at my party this week!

That is just crazy cool for sure! What a whiz you are!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, its to simple to follow on floor
ReplyDeleteKItty, This is genius! What a great tip!!!!! Thanks for sharing in on TTT!
ReplyDeleteI never thought that tile flooring could be fixed with crayons! I'm definitely gonna try this one out at home.
ReplyDeleteFixing nicks on a tile floor with crayon is a great idea! That’s a pretty nifty (not to mention cheap) way of hiding any nicks and scratches. But if the damage is considerable, maybe replacing the tile would be better. After all, I doubt it would look pleasant seeing a large scratch on a tile made to look less noticeable with some crayon.
