If you’ve ever been through a kitchen renovation If you’ve ever been through a kitchen renovation you’ll know this feeling 🥲 
After two months without a kitchen sink or dishwasher I’ve instinctively gone to fill my water bottle in the tiny bathroom sink probably five times today but NO MORE.
We’re down to the last few things for the kitche We’re down to the last few things for the kitchen renovation, so hopefully this list doesn’t expand too much more. Please tell me your renovation fails to make me feel better 🥲

PSA: you don’t ✨always✨ need power tools to PSA: you don’t ✨always✨ need power tools to tile! This manual tile cutter (that costs like $30 and is at most hardware stores) can cut straight lines which can get you most of the way if you’re tiling something on a flat wall like this backsplash that I’m working on. (But also, even if you did need to use a wet tile saw they’re not that scary either, the blade is dull and is more like grinding than cutting so it’s actually less intimidating than woodworking.) 
Let me know if you have other tiling questions because I’ve done it dozens of times now and as far as I know nothing has fallen down 🤷‍♀️
