On Tuesday Brooke came over to help me tackle my kitchen backsplash and I could not be more excited about the results. I stuck with a simple 3x6 white subway tile with white grout. The process was much easier than I had expected, but the clean up took much longer. The actual tile job took about 6 hours with only a lunch break in between. Brooke really is my hero. She doesn't have much longer till her due date and she had more stamina than I do on my best day. I really could not have done this without her. Well, her and him. He passed out tile like no other...
Sweet Brooke rocking it out. Yes, I did help, but I did stop to take a few pics in between...
The finished product, well besides the outlet covers. That will be happening tonight with the help of the hubbs...
I am so happy!
