I realize I am behind schedule, very far behind schedule. I got, oh, five hours of sleep last night. Spent, I guess now, yesterday morning laying out all the tile so we could make cuts ahead of time...then, when it was time to do the adhesive, it would all go smoothly...like the DIY lady says...right. Who knows why, but for some reason the perfect layout didn't end up so perfectly going on the wall, so it took longer than expected. It looks pretty good now, but, oh my goodness, it took FOREVER. Now it's suppose to sit for 24 hours before grouting...I don't think I want to start that at midnight. Here is a before pic and after (so far):
It's kind of hard to see in the picture, but there's two rows of subway tiles, then a pencil liner, then the mosaic. Kudos to people who do this for real. I will stick with Scentsy, nursing, and nannying. I like the creative part of doing a back splash...not so much the actual work. I don't like my hands to be dirty...so this was a challenge. Probably, I could have saved some time if I hadn't washed my hands every time after I put a piece up. And, yes, I tried gloves for a while, but I have small hands and gloves are awkward. Oh well. I think I'm going to bed. I'm even going to skip the workout today. Whoa. Goodnight!
