I’m so excited about this project. I laid tile and so far so good!
We started our kitchen renovation last December when we gutted the kitchen and started slowly rebuilding it. Since April we have had an almost complete kitchen. It has been fully functional but really needed the finishing touches. I was getting quite tired of looking at the random patched up walls.
The hubby was so hesitant to let me tackle this but I’m so glad we decided to do it ourselves. These are the first three tiles I have ever set in my life. Looks easy? It is! You just need the right tools, patience and research.
I’m happy with how easy this was despite the wonky walls in our kitchen. All you need is patience. Once the tile sets tonight, I’ll be grouting all of this and caulking the edge along the counter for the complete finished look. Right now the lines between the tiles look dark because there is no grout yet. That is on the to do list for tonight but I couldn’t wait to show you guys.
it looks beautiful!!!!!! i love it!
i did our tile backsplash at our first house in louisiana and i was shocked at how not so hard it was! 🙂
Wow- great job! I love the way it turned out. And kudos for doing it yourself! It turned out amazing. I bet you smile everytime you see your hard work! 🙂 Merry Christmas!
It’s so so beautiful! Your kitchen is going to rock when you are completely finished because it looks so good already! When I do my backsplash I will have to refer to yours! Thanks for sharing it with us!!
Looks great! I know who I’m calling when I start tiling my kitchen. Did you have install cement board behind it?
