    That is right.

    • We have now bought the tile. I'm deciding on the schlutter and I think that I might be leaning towards black at this point. While far from a prefect representation, I've been able to mock up a few on ChatGPT.

          We did end up going with the white trim. We are also using a white grout. The installer starts tomorrow. I'm excited to see the final product.

          • A sign that the tile on the backsplash was really bad, when the tile is removed and the unpainted and patched wall looks better.

                • I think that once this is done, I will also look into installing some under the cabinet lighting, as I think it will help make the room brighter and show up some of the details in the tile.

                  • Under cabinet lighting can be great. We have that at our current house (though I don't really use them that much).

                      I am glad you removed the old gray tiles. I have something like that right now (not my choice) and I really don't like it.

                        Not only did they look bad, it was poorly installed. You can see from the picture how they left an exposed edge on the tile. I also really don't understand when they installed the tile why they didn't remove the black backing on the counters. I think with this change, I'll be happier with the counter tops. I'd love to replace them and the sink, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

                        I think the next major project that we would be looking at on the interior would be replacing the front door. We are going to have to pain the exterior eventually, but we will probably wait until the HOA complains about that before doing it.

                        I have one picture of the work in progress just to confirm the grout spacing with only about 3 tiles installed, and I'm excited to see what it looks like when I get home from work.

                          Just need to do the grout now. I'm really happy with the results. I did find out that we overbought the tile by an entire box. We got 4 boxes of tile and only still had some left after only 3 boxes.

                              • It looks really good. I do think that I need some under cabinet lighting because there is kind of a blue tone to the tile from the black countertops. The kitchen does feel a lot lighter and actually feels a little bigger as well. Now, to save up some money to get rid of these counter tops.
