1. Measure the kitchen floor from wall to wall in one direction, find the center reading, and mark it on the floor with your pencil.  This will decide on how many ceramic tiles you will need for kitchen flooring. 

2. Repeat the process in the other direction, off the other two walls. You should end up with two intersecting lines that divide the room into four even squares. 

3. Lay your ceramic tiles.

4. Working on one square at a time, from the center intersection, use your trowel to spread adhesive as far as you can comfortably reach from a kneeling position.

5. Allow the tile to set for another day before grouting. Remove your plastic spacers, popping them out with the edge of your 5-inch putty knife.
