The article highlights the planning involved, including measuring and preparing the wall, and also captures the unexpected surprises that typically accompany DIY projects. Overall, it illustrates a mix of anticipation, learning, and the satisfaction of completing a home improvement task.
Originally I planned to tile the entire sink wall and go just under the upper cabinets on the stove side. But, as with most DIY projects, there were surprises along the way.
Working with mortar and grout was the easy part. To affix my tile to the wall, I marked a level line on the wall at my kitchen's countertop height.
I was excited, but also a little nervous to take this backsplash tiling project on. I'd never done any tile work before.
Because I wanted to keep this project budget-friendly I found an option with a similar vibe at Floor & Decor more in my price range.
