DIY Vlog: Tiling The Kitchen Backsplash

Hey Homies! It’s ya favorite home girl, Kayla Simone, and I’m taking you along for my first-ever DIY Vlog! I spent 3 days helping my friend Ashton tile her kitchen backsplash & it turned out SO good! She had never tiled before this so figured it would be the perfect opportunity to teach her & all of you at the same time!

I’m walking you through step-by-step exactly how to tile, the tools you’ll need, giving you a little Tiling 101 lesson on all of the basics of laying tile, and answering your questions along the way! Let me know what you think of this style video and what project you’d like to see in my next DIY vlog :)
