tile DONE

Let me just say that I am so happy to have this project done!  It was one of those finishing details that we didn't really need to have done any time soon, but it's fun to see a glimpse of what our finished kitchen will be like.      

 The grouting was scary, but it turned out ok.  Mom- I will need your help with the rest, pleeease and thank you!  We ended up using a spatula to shove the grout into the small areas above the outlets and what else...my challah mixing bowl, a spatula, a wooden spoon, and a sponge.  Nothing but professional over here.  Ha!

Another project we started the other week was painting our bedroom.  Should have taken a "before" picture,  but the walls were previously white.  We decided on a slate blue-ish green-ish color.  Looks nice, but it ended up way more gray/blue than I was hoping.  Bummer.  The bottom picture shows the color I wish it looked like in real life, but the top is more accurate.  To re-paint before trim is finished or leave as is for a while.  ugh.  Oh paint, how I wish we got along better.
