Line upon line...

...tile upon tile. Today's project was a tedious little thing called "creating a back splash." For those of us stupid enough to say, "hey, it can't be that bad," we learn a very hard lesson. Turns out, the easy task of laying a back splash falls into the category of "what in the heck was I thinking?"


Laying out the tile before putting it on the wall.


Scrap pieces. These are VERY small!

So piece by piece I started our back splash. It took me just short of an entire day off to lay a total of about 10 square feet. To give you an idea of just how little that is, it works out to be about 20% of my entire kitchen. Keep in mind, we are planning on tiling our shower and around our tub as well. I believe that puts us in the more realistic range of 3-5% of all our wall tiling.


Making sure each and every tile is nice and level. Truth is, it still turned out kind of...skewed.


well, enjoy the pictures. Try not to get too carried away imagining Ricky and I working our tails off this weekend :)



Love you all
