Finally!

We finally finished our tile backsplash! It has been a long process but we did it ourselves. It may not be perfect but neither is our house.

Recently our microwave stopped heating so we just bought a new one. Now we just have to install it. I can imagine that is not going to be fun. That is the last piece to our kitchen. I will be relieved when everything is finished!

Considering we just had to buy a new refrigerator because ours stopped working, I think we will put any other projects on hold temporarily.

Weekend Warriors

Memorial Day weekend we decided to take on not one but two projects.

Project A: Tiling our back splash

We started the whole kitchen remodel project a year an a half ago. The only thing to finish is the back splash. I picked out some tile and an accent piece several times only to go back to my originals.. We started on Monday with the assistance of my mom and have almost completed one wall and part of the other wall. It is slow moving but It looks great! It will be a relief when it is finished.

Project B: Removal and Replacement of hideous bushes

We had 10 hideous Yew bushes. In my opinion they are hideous. With the help of my father-in-law and one of our friends we got them all removed last Saturday. I am so excited to pick out their replacements. Unfortunately our time has been limited.

After

Before

I am glad we have finally started both of these projects, I just wish we would have finished one before starting the other one!
