Before we get into this project, I just wanted to let you guys know that lowes did all the cuts i needed for this project for free. But just to be safe make sure you check with them before hand.😬

As always make sure your safe when you do this and please ask questions if you have them but not a professional lol just did it as a home project. This project worked great for me!!

This is the mosaic I decided to use since it doesn't require grout it just needs the adhesive putty on the back .Which I think it way easier and looks great!! I'll take a better pic of the supplies
