It would be nice to have a room finished to take photos of “tadaaaaa” but I suspect it will be a while before a whole room is wholly done. So here’s a couple of pictures of the done bits of the tiling around the window and range.

The ceiling is bare plywood holding up insulation fluff so we left a line of tiles out along the ceiling line, which you can just see in the dark top right of the photo below. There are a few things left to complete in the kitchen.. remaining tiles, ceiling, lights above the sink and a few minor-ish things like skirting and waiting for the electrician to install the infrared panel. But even with that, the kitchen is miles nicer than any other room in the house, and with the view from the window it makes cleaning dishes almost a treat. Almost. A bit.

Definitely a lot more comfortable with tiling, but I suspect I make the task of adding caulk a lot more sticky than strictly necessary. I think I’ll be buying a tool for it before I do it again instead of using my hands.
