Our Tiled Kitchen





Our kitchen newly tiled! 
We're still working on faceplates and we have molding to still put up 
at the bar near the sink but all in all, we're 98% done! 

 I need a good camera...my phone camera is not the best. 
Mental note: add camera to Christmas list.

What I've learned while tiling our kitchen: Patience & communication is vital when tackling a project.
Things do NOT happen they way you THINK they will. DYI is very satisfying! Never underestimate what you can do. Michael and I are much more confident about tiling now- we have no qualms about tackling floors or bathrooms...at a later date.

Our dishwasher's motor went out and we had to replace the dishwasher (the cheap one that came with the house)- decibel ratings really matter when selecting a dishwasher. We've gone from a 60 dba to a 52 dba and we barely hear the dishwasher anymore. We also looked for a dishwasher that had 3 full water sprayers: top, middle and bottom.  This website really helped us learn what to look for: http://www.dishwasher-ratings.com/ge-dishwasher-reviews.html

    I LOVE the tile! We are trying to figure out just how we want to change our kitchen. I would love tile too, but I'm not sure it would fit with the overall style I am looking for.

To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
