The kitchen is starting to come together. The butcher block countertops have had 4 coats of Waterlox sealer and are looking great. I also just finished grouting the glass mini-brick backsplash after installing it a couple days ago (see this post).

It’s always such a dramatic effect to see a tile project with new grout. I used a white unsanded grout with the green glass tiles. The colors look great and really show off the tiles.

Before grouting, I made sure to take the time to clean out any thinset that had filled in between the tiles. It’s best for the grout to fully fill those grout lines, and it will look better as well without chunks of thinset in there.
