Guess how many tiles I broke/screwed up during my first tiling job? 40. I’m a perfectionist (most of the time), and I couldn’t believe how bad I was at just cutting the damn things. I would measure one, measure again, triple check, cut, and it would STILL be wrong! Luckily, I learned as I went along and got much better. I consider myself a pretty competent DIYer, but everybody has their Achilles heel. I guess mine is tile (and drywall, but who's counting?). But why suffer through inexperience and lack of knowledge like I did? I made pretty much every single mistake you could make, but I have the solutions for all of them! PS: If you're brand new around here, we're redoing our kitchen 99% ourselves. Come check out the mood board I threw together (there are lots more posts just like it, too!).
