We still need to seal and grout and seal once more, but all of the tile is in place so as promised (even if our kitchen is in a chaotic condition), here’s how it looks:
The area on the left is where the fridge goes. Â We tiled back enough so the effect of a fully tiled wall was there. The piece of wood is temporary. Â We screwed it in place as a guide for the tile–to keep it straight and also as a support. Â There’s also a piece of wood temporarily behind the oven where we carried the tile straight across. Placing each and every marble tile took us a grand total of 26 hours. Â Chris made all of the cuts and I laid the tile, and both of our fingertips ended up raw. But we couldn’t be happier with the results.
We’ll be sure to clean things up after we grout and have official before and afters of the kitchen for you next week. Â We have a lot to do before our first two showings this weekend. EEee! I’m only a little panicking.
Have a happy weekend!

An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a friend
who had been conducting a little homework on this. And he
actually ordered me dinner due to the fact that I found it for him…
lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!!
But yeah, thanx for spending time to discuss this matter here
on your site.
Nice article and great knowledge about glass and stone mosaic . I love this story and enjoy with your words!
Stunning!! So much work, but worth it! Hopefully grouting will go by much faster! :)
Looks so great! It’s too bad you won’t be able to enjoy it to the degree that you were once planning but Hey! it’s practice!! :)
Good luck with the showings!
I love the wraparound look, but I am curious as to why you didn’t go further back on the fridge section- what if a smaller fridge is eventually placed there? Also, will you be painting the side of the cabinet under the microwave?
