Subway Tile Update



The subway tile is finally finished!  We found this white subway tile at Home Depot and got a great deal on it (Around $18 for 10 square feet).  We decided to go with a gray grout to tie in with the concrete countertops that we are hoping to complete in the next few weeks.  The only thing that I regret is not tiling the backsplash lower behind the stove, I will have to add those this next week because it is GROSS behind there!  Has anyone used the Ardex Feather Finish on their countertops?  I have found some blogs that have and it looks awesome.  I can't handle the cream countertop so hopefully it will be finished sooner rather than later.





Above is a before picture from the listing when the house was for sale.  Here is a list of the changes we are hoping to make in the next few months:
      1) Concrete counter DIY
      2) DIY Blind Makeover 
      3) Redo the cabinet fronts and hardware
      4) Paint walls gray and finish the moulding above the window
      5) Add cabinet to bare wall
      6) Install open shelving above new cabinets
      7) New floor hopefully one day!
      8) Hang pendant light above sink
