We have finally begun working on the kitchen counter. First we cut and attatched the plywood, then the backerboard. The hole for the sink was cut out. Then we layed out the tiles, starting in the corner so it came together correctly. We got a few taupe-colored tiles, and placed them randomly among the white tiles–we didn’t want it to be too white, since the lower cabinets are all painted white. Tomorrow we will apply the thinset and lay the tiles…neither of us has done this before, so we are taking our time and checking each step as we do it. It is looking good already, so hopefully we will have a great looking countertop when we are finished!!!
