Kitchen Remodel: DIY Tile Backsplash Reveal

Oh, how I love reveals. And before & afters. Aren't they just the best? Honestly, they gave me hope and inspiration when we first laid our mitts on the keys to our humble home, because, well, it was really very humble, if you get my drift.

So when I looked at this flower-power kitchen straight out of the 70's:

I managed to see a glimpse of a kitchen that was light and bright, airy but warm...

beautiful and sparkling...

and 100%...

us.

May I present: Our Kitchen.
Date: Current Day.

It still amazes me that we've done every. single. thing. in this kitchen remodel - by ourselves. Heck, half most of the time we have no idea what we're doing! Complete amateurs here. But with a "sure, we can do that, let me just google it real quick and we'll get started" attitude, anything can happen.

The proof is right here.

Drywalling? No problem. Installing flooring? Piece of cake. Tiling new countertops and backsplash? Easy peasy.

Well... sorta.

Either way, we love it.

Was the kitchen backsplash worth it? Definitely.

It wasn't that hard, it just took alot of elbow grease. And in the end, you want to know what the total was?

$80. Eighty bucks. I'd call that a successful DIY project, wouldn't you?

We wrote a series of 3 tutorials detailing every step of the way, too:

{Phase 3} Sealing and Caulking

I can honestly say that the number of To-Do's in the kitchen remodel is slowly dwindling. Haha, yes, we're not quite done yet... so I guess you'll just have to stick around to see what else we have up our sleeves!
