Kitchen Tile Backsplash install.

We originally thought about putting up a granite backslash, which was going to be quite pricey. Then we thought about marble tile which was still going to be pretty pricey.  Agreed to let Cacky have the marble tile as I got the counter tops I wanted.  She decided that we could save some money and she could still get the look she wanted and went with white subway tile.
We ended up with White Brazilian Subway tile that we picked up from a broker. Sounds impressive doesn't it? It is the truth, the tiles did say made in Brazil on then, and do we really need to tell anyone that our broker is the esteemed Home Depot?
A long time friend of mine is a professional tile layer.  His website is http://www.jdcustomtile.com/
Could I have tiled the backsplash? Sure I think I could have done it, would it have come out the way it did? Not a chance in hell. I was his helper for this project and learned a lot about the right way to do things. I highly recommend he services and would rehire him again anytime.
Tiling can get messy, I was a little bit concerned about getting thin set and grout all over everything but Jason assured me that it would all be perfect in the end.  I decided to trust him, after all he knew what he was doing.  He was correct, everything cleaned up perfectly in the end.
This is before we started.
