How To Tile A Kitchen Backsplash
Need Help with Bathroom Makeover...?
I am in the process of redecorating my home. I am working on my guest bathroom and I am stuck. I HATE the layout of the tub and I am considering a tiled shower stall.
I came accross this article and I am curious about installing the tile myself: http://www.contemporaryinteriordesigns.com/kitchen-backsplash-bathroom-backsplash-tile/
How hard is it to install tile? Any tips or pointers?
Installing the large tiles looks easy enough. I would get some grout and go to work, especially if I had some time on my hands. Those tiny tiles look like a pain to install, so I would opt for a professional instead.
