My youngest sister Jill came over and tiled the backsplash in my kitchen for me.

My husband was somewhat skeptical about the tiles I had chosen. To be honest, he was skeptical about my 23 year old sister and I doing such a big project at all.

So, here are the results of all of our labors:

What do you think? When we were all done, my hubby just stood there looking at the finished project and said, "I never would have dreamed that those tiles would look that good in this kitchen!" He was truly impressed. So impressed that the regular outlet covers were not good enough for our new tiles and so he went and picked out these black and copper ones. I LOVE them and think they look great.

Over all, the tiles cost about $130, the other materials we needed like grout and trowels came to about $50 and I paid my sister $150 for doing the job. She did most of the work - I was merely the assistant tile-er ..... lol. So that makes the whole project about just over $300, which I think is money well spent!

Thanks Jill!
