Kitchen Backsplash Update






Recently, we had our floors refinished and painted all of those rooms.  After painting the kitchen,  we decided that we would like a new backsplash.

We brought home lots and lots of different choices.  Most were nice, but just too busy for us.  We love subway tiles and love travertine, so when we found this tile, our decision was made. 







This picture (kind of) shows the old 4" granite backsplash. 


There was lots of patching to make the walls perfectly smooth.






Some sections had too many cutouts to use the mesh pieces.  This is where each piece was individually hung on the wall.
 

It took my husband one evening during the week and the weekend and he was done.  Yes, he's a keeper!










 Our kitchen isn't very big, but is definitely workable for us.  I'm thrilled with it and so thankful for such a talented husband!





Thanks for your visit!
