When this customer replaced their microwave, the size difference left some open space with the backsplash tiles.
A piece of peel and stick tile was then used as a temporary placeholder to cover up the unfinished area.
Well after taking a look, I figured we’d need six replacement tiles to get that top row properly replaced; and guess how many tiles the customer had tucked away in case of a situation such as this? FIVE. 🤦🏻♂️
That’s ok though! With a little bit of care,(and a touch of luck) I was able to steal a tile from back behind the stove and get us where we needed to go!
The only thing left was the attempt to best match grout that had been installed a little over two decades ago; and I think it turned out great!
It was an enjoyable challenge to match up those old school wide grout joints while trying to tool my lines to blend seamlessly with the previous installation.
Sometimes the best photo finish is simply making it look like you weren’t even there, and that there wasn’t even a repair performed. I feel like we got there with this one! ✨
