The Kitchen: Reno Day 9

Now that the base cabinets are painted, I was able to put the clear coat onto the cabinets. They got the same polycrylic as the doors. 
A first coat of white paint went on the upper cabinets, although hard to tell in photos, they now look much cleaner in person.

The back of the pantry doors also got a couple of coats of white paint. They are currently taking over our dining room table much to the happiness of Tom.
Finally, the back splash got grouted. I used a non-sanded white grout and followed the typical progress; put it on, wait, wipe off excess, wait and lastly buff. I love the difference grout makes to tiles, it makes it look cleaner and polished. 
And now we know: wash your tools right after you finish with them. We had let the grout from the bathroom tiling dry on the stirring drill attachment, so Tom spent some tile chipping it off before we could use it again.
