Silicone and caulk

I applied silicone with my fingers, the best way and the easiest to clean. In the corners and around the window frame I used the caulk in Ivory color.

Here are some pictures and you can also see our kitchen cabinets with plastic removed and together with the countertop.

Backsplash with grout

I have mixed the unsanded mapei keracolor grout in Ivory colour. I noticed when I mixed there were very thin lines of color every time I was moving the grout with the putty knife. I just kept mixing until I didn't see red and yellow color lines. The grout color was nice. I then grouted a few sections.



It dried in a very nice color. A bit lighter than the sample, but it is matching the countertop nicely. I also purchased silicone 100% for any change of panes and an unsanded caulk in Ivory color from mapei for the inner corner. I think however silicone is the best for around the sink area. Will try caulk and silicone and chose one of them in a couple of days.
