We did have one small project that we wanted to do in the kitchen, but we kind of ran out of money before we could do it: installing a tile backsplash. (It's pretty pricey and the installation is really expensive) Several friends said it was easy to do, and when one of them (Margaret) even offered to help and to loan us her tools, we decided to give it a try. No time like the week before Thanksgiving to rip apart your kitchen, right? :)

I absolutely love it!
All told, it took about 21 man-hours and cost just over $200. Totally worth it. :)
