First House Project!!!

Well this weekend we officially began our first house project: tiling our back splash:) My mom and grandma came to visit from Missouri. It was so great to have them here and my mom is a pro at home improvements. Seriously, she can do anything: tiling, electrical, plumbing, wood work. It is amazing, I still have a lot to learn.

I picked some tile out a few weeks ago from a company Erin works with. We picked Mosaic 1x1 that are tumbled stone. I am super excited about them because some of them have sparkles. Anyways... it has been quite the process. The first few steps were easy, we just measured and then put the mastic (glue stuff) on the wall and let it dry. Then my mom and grandma smeared the grout on, wiped it off and we were on our way:) However, under my sink counter would not fit a full 10 rows of tiles.... so insert headache. We had to file every single little bitty tile to fit under the sink.

The Arita's came over last night with Judge and helped us finish up the last 500 tiles.. just kidding but like 50. Thanks guys!!!! Needless to say we got it all grouted today and now all we have to do is wait for it to set about a week so we can seal it:)

Done and Done.

Here are some pictures. I will post more when it is complete. Overall it was just a great time to spend with my mom and grandma, they are both so crafty! A big thanks to them for driving all the way here to help. Love you guys!
