Bathroom project- Finished!

A few months ago I decided I wanted to put up a tile backsplash around my bathtub and I started the task of researching doing the project myself. After looking at the tile decisions Lowes had to offer, it only took about an hour of going back and forth before Zach and I agreed on the tile!

BEFORE


So, I started my project a couple of weeks ago. And, let me honestly say, I wasn't quite sure I could do it. But, like I said, I did some researching online and it didn't take me long to realize there was no point in worrying about the job I was going to do. I would do my best, and that's all there was to it! Besides, if I messed it up, we could always just tear it down and re-do it. (I mean...Zach could tear it down and re-do it!)

The first day I painted and the next day I tiled. You should have seen me working with mortar (argh argh argh... or however Tim Allen on 'Home Improvement' says it!) The third day I grouted. I liked it all! After having some hard to fit tiles trimmed, I put up the border tile along the top. Then, it sat for a week of me finding the time to finish! And, finally, I was able to finish this week! Everything is now caulked and just waiting to be sealed!


AFTER

I was able to accomplish everything during nap times. The boys tried to help as much as possible- and as much as I'd let them! I am just so thankful to God for giving me the courage to take on this project all by myself! I've never tiled before and was nervous going into it! I am very proud of myself and that feeling of accomplishment, on a typically 'man' project, is a very great feeling indeed!
