Today I had planned to reveal my diy kitchen back splash that I tiled.
I have been breaking my back to get it done for the past month.
The grouting step is where the project came to a screeching halt.
You would think the actual tiling to be the hard work but in my case the grouting was the project demise.
It actual looks half way decent here. I had grout on the floor, walls, ceiling, cabinets and counters.
