Cannot believe we did this! Complete beginner DIY kitchen backsplash, Budget friendly zellige tile

Very proud of this one! My mom and I installed a budget friendly DIY zellige backsplash. I think that the end result is very high end and timeless! We learned a lot along the way, and I will share our successes, regrets, mistakes so that you all can learn along with us!
If you’ve been following along, you know how long of a process remodeling our entire home has been. Our kitchen is finally looking finished even though there’s a few more things to do but that’s the reality of DIY!
Sometimes my pregnancy brain is not the best at explaining things, so if you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below!

    Hands down my FAVORITE project on the house so far! So fun to tackle it with you. Great memories of balancing playing with kids, and working with them nearby.

    I have been enjoying watching your videos. You’re so sweet and refreshing. In our younger years, My husband and I remodeled 3 homes while raising our kids. Living through that was difficult at the time. But enjoyed the adventure and satisfaction of seeing the transformations.

    Emily…..you guys did a great job!!! You are so very blessed to have your parents to assist and spend such quality time with. I have a suggestion, not critical, just a suggestion. I would add a larger header board over the top of the window to give it more oomph. I think your board is 3-4” and I’d go with a 6” or even an 8”. It would add so much more detail to the window, especially with it hanging over the side trim like you have it. As for paint….definitely the cabinet color…..that way you have a beautiful flow for the eye. Just my thoughts. Merry Christmas!!

    That would have saved on tiling up there! Haha thanks for the suggestion. Might look into doing a thicker one above the front windows for more impact. Thank you so much!! ☺️
