Home Improvement 101

So...Kyle and I got a wild hair about 3 months ago to tile the backsplash in our (currently his) kitchen. "Great idea" i thought to myself...however...do you know how much it actually cost to hire someone to tile the backsplash in your kitchen? Well, I’ll tell you right now, you don't want to know. So of course, Kyle and I decided to do it ourselves. Our first DIY project (of this caliber!).




So we go to home depot...now mind you, this is May, right after I graduated and was settled in at home and my mind was free of finance and I was able to make easy decisions like, oh, I don't know...tile colors? Negative. Absolutely not. Fast forward to a week ago...and 3 Lowes trips and 3 hours of standing in the middle of the isle surrounded by tile, we finally decide on a color and pattern. I liked it in the store, liked it a little more after we laid it out on the kitchen floor...LOVED it when we actually started to put it up. Weird, right? Right.



So. As for putting it up, I have to give most...ALL of the credit to Kyle. He did it. I merely cleaned the tile after it was cut with the tile saw or after it was grouted. But i must say...If he ever has to find other employment, he can fall back on this tile thing. He really did a great job ladies and gentleman.

The finished product!
