Finishing up the kitchen





We knocked one more project off our list this last weekend; the backsplash. We were a bit worried because we bought the marble tiles two months ago and they had been sitting in the back yard since then. Luckily marble is resilient and they cleaned up with no problem, and installation was pretty easy too. The hardest part, like most of the projects we've done, was the beginning. The best idea we had during the project was to screw paint stir sticks to the wall behind the oven to support the tiles while the thin set dried. It worked out great.
