Kitchen Tile Back splash

We really wanted a glass and stone tile back splash for our kitchen

to help us get that homey look

We found the perfect tile at HOBO

and bought just one sheet to start matching paint 

see the details about paint shopping here

Then once the tile had gone on sale 30% we went back and bought

the rest of the tile we needed (HOBO will price match any sales

with in 30 days so we brought the original sheet back too for the 30% sale price)

It cost us less than $100.00 for all of the tile.

After we finished all of the painting,  Russ and his friend installed the 

tile themselves and it turned out amazing! The tile came in sheets of 12 feet squared

and he rented a tile saw to make the cuts around the microwave and outlet sockets. 

He used thin set underneath the tiles and then a tinted cream grout. 

So, just to re-cap 

this is what our kitchen looked like a few days before we closed on the house

you have to love the "staged" furniture  and decorations

and this is our kitchen one week after we moved in!

Paint and the back splash (and appliances)

make such a huge impact! 

Have a great weekend!
