Clearly I am not quite right -- clearly. As evidenced in what I do just before a longish trip. Most people trouble themselves to stop the mail, run a load of wash, leave a key with a neighbor -- typical pedestrian acts. What I do, however, is tile the backsplash.
In my defense it badly needed doing. I do wicked wanton things to my counter and backsplash area. (I'm not sure what you might be thinking, but lets come back to reality and clear up a few things -- what I am talking about is dying fabric, which splatters badly and makes a mess on the wall behind the sink.)
I just couldn't stand the notion of coming home to that splattered backsplash wall one more time, so something had to be done. And as I always say, there's no job worth doing that can't benefit from the use of power tools. Like this wet saw -- rented from Home Depot. Hooray!
It turned out nicely, I think. That whole area now feels like a real home, finished and ready for living. This is what I want to come home to.
Ahhhhh, and it goes so nicely with my pots.
All righty -- NOW I'm ready to go to the airport.
Au Revoir

Bon Voyage, Jenny!
Your backsplash looks fabulous!
I love the color of the grout. That part of the kitchen looks fantastic. I totally see why you'd want to get it done. Au Revoir, mon ami. And don't forget - take notes!!!!
The backsplash looks great! Have a wonderful trip! Jean
