Backsplash
It was time for a new kitchen backsplash. Not smart tile, real tile, light weight and thin. Here are a few pictures.

Very nice. What did you use to adhere them to the wall?

A product called R+R 100 % Silicone. Got it on line from Florida, it's flexible won't crack.

We purchased the tiles from Lowes, to adhere them to the wall we got a 100% Silicone that is flexible and won't crack, and the grout from a company in Florida.

We had left over tile and did the bathroom backsplash. Both Silicone adhesive and Silicone grout are waterproof and flexible.

Tile looks crooked, but it isn't.... Optical illusion !

Very nicely done - though I can't imagine working with a silicone mastic and grout. I'm finishing up our stick and brick house kitchen and the backsplash is being put up with an acrylic mastic (also very flexible) which can become a gummy mess so can't visualize the silicone and the potential 'problems'.
Again, nice

Job wasn't messy at all, a lot less messy than using a trowel.

Classy! I'm sure glad that the DW doesn't read this forum!

Everyone needs to do what they like. I like the was the way it came so we have not changed anything, don't see the need. Hope yours works out for you, good luck.
