It looks good so far - just be aware that any small recesses are a nightmare to grout and then to keep clean; that one under the top flight of stairs looks like it could be a bit difficult...

Aside from that, it's often good to go over and smooth off any 90 degree edges - it gives a better grouted finish, and looks more natural, unless you're aiming for a very neat, square look to it all.

Thanks for that, I know what you mean about grouting the tricky bits, but ive a great small brush thats doing the trick and also turning it upside down and inside out seems to help too!!
