Tiling

We've finally gotten to the backsplash phase of our kitchen remodel. This one has taken time to plan for, and get the right materials. Since we updated the counter tops, those had to be in place first and the last pieces of it arrived today.

When we took off the old tile, wall and all, I was a bit nervous we'd never get something back on the wall. I'm glad we did it, though. We got the chance to do some electrical work to allow for under and over cabinet lighting, which I think is going to really be nice in the kitchen.

Justin has been such a help in this. I've really been relying on him for 'how-to' advice, and it helps that he's just as picky as I am. We went through a lesson today on tiling, and he walked me through it. The tile is in place for the island now. We will probably do the rest tomorrow, and then find time later to grout and seal it.
