After the counter top was installed, the only thing left was
the wall/backsplash tile.
I looked at lots of tile and tile designs for the wall,
little pieces and big pieces, different layouts like diamonds and even tile quilt
squares, I pinned pictures on Pinterest. In the end I decided I didn’t want
the little wall space between the cabinets and the counter top to be the focal
point, but the beautiful hickory cabinets instead. I wanted the wall space to
fade into the background. So when we found these 18" square tiles which
fit perfectly into the 18" space, it was a no-brainer. Although Buddy
would have agreed with anything I picked out, he was visibly relieved to not
have to cut and lay out many small tiles.
Like so many things, it reminds me of making a quilt,
sometimes you just want big square pieces with simple lines, it goes together fast
and looks great.
Having never done this before did not slow Buddy down of
course, he did some research, watched some YouTube videos, and voila!
Just like a jigsaw puzzle, the last piece is in (the one we
were looking for), whew!
Merry Christmas to us!
