A Backsplash

With all these projects at Kevin's parent's rental, it's reminded me of all the projects my dad and I worked on.

We remodeled a bathroom

gutted three kitchens (two of mine and one of his rental properties)

removed miles of wallpaper

and of course, painted too many rooms to count

Saturday was the day to nail down what I am going to do for the backsplash in the kitchen.

I've never tiled before.

I watched my dad tile two of my backsplashes.

I really should have been more help.

I had to consult Jessica on this one.

I don't really have the design gene.

Jessica has saved me from more than one design disaster.

She did like the tile I picked out (see above) so maybe there's hope.

I sure do miss him.

He would have loved to help me with this house.

My dad loved Mama Linda's dad, who originally owned the house.  They were both electricians and worked together before Kevin and I met. 

Small world.
