I thought the tile backsplash would be one of the easier\u00a0projects to complete since\u00a0the space is\u00a0small, and\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span>I have worked with tile and grout on bigger projects.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I was wrong…<\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

That assumption resulted in my one honest mistake during this makeover (which I couldn’t fix).<\/span><\/p>\n

But before I move on, I’d like you to look closely at the photo below.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You will note that behind the sink’s faucet, there is a small wire shelf. Removing this will be the first step for installing the tile backsplash.<\/p>\n

But before we start installing the new tile backsplash,<\/span><\/h4>\n

I want to point out all my changes to the Casita.<\/p>\n

The photo below shows big changes, from the chalk-painted cabinet doors<\/a>\u00a0to the\u00a0teal paint<\/a> added to the cooktop and fridge to the wood vinyl flooring<\/a>! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Step 1: Removal of Wire Storage\u00a0Shelf<\/span><\/h3>\n

Removing the storage shelf was easy. I pulled the shelf off the rivets and snipped the clips off the wall.<\/p>\n

As you see in the photo below, this step leaves two small holes where the rivets used to be. Since I will be tiling and grouting the wall, I just left them as you see in this photo.<\/p>\n
