Have you ever wanted to learn how to tile backsplash?
It is super easy!
First – Marry a husband like mine.
Second – Tell him you want more space for your 5 kids in the kitchen.
Third – He’ll jump at the chance to tear out walls and please his Queen.
Voila!
What? It didn’t work out for you? Okay, it might not work exactly like that….
Let me show you the harder way…me doing it.
(Caution: I’m not a professional. I probably make the pros cringe with my terminology. I’m open for suggestions and feedback!)
This is the backside of a tile. The white stuff on my hand is thin-set.
Spread the thin-set like butter on bread. Lather it good. Make sure it is even. If it isn’t then your tile will be tilted and look funny. If the wall is crooked – sometimes that might be a good thing. But, not usually. 
I pretend it is white chocolate. It makes my work go faster. I’m okay with that!
This is one that has been buttered correctly. Don’t eat it. Your insides won’t like you!
Apply to wall. Push gently. I broke one. ONE! I blamed my brother who lives far far away…and had nothing to do with my tiling. But, it felt good to blame someone else not in the vicinity. You can blame him too! He’ll never know. I call him – Brat! (I love my brother…he might read this…or someone might tell him…Brat, you are loved!)
Don’t let me fool you…my hubby did most of this work. I will do the grouting. I like grouting so much more!

You definitely have me feeling motivated and confident to take on my own backsplash project!

can’t wait to see the finished backsplash!
Saw you on HHH this morning. Love your tile project, especially the spacers! One day I hope to be as gutsy and rip out my old countertops.
You’re so funny. I love the angle you did on the tile. Can’t wait to see it finished. You guys are doing a great job! Lisa~
Your backsplash looks great and you did a wonderful tutorial!!
LOVE it!!! I tackled our backsplash myself and was excited how easy it was! (Hubby did help with the really hard spots around the window).
It is really amazing how it transforms the kitchen. I did ours on an angle too. A little more work but SO pretty 🙂
Have fun grouting!
Great job with the backsplash. Thanks for linking up.
That is seriously impressive tiling! Really….tiles on the angle! Wow… you’re good. Or hubby’s good. Or you’re both good. Whoever, or whatever – it’s good!
Oh, and while we’re on the subject of ‘good’….it’s looking good too. x
