Wife and I are nearly complete on our kitchen reno and have chosen a marble herringbone backsplash. We figured it'd be more work to install so wanted to get a contractor and got some sticker shock as we didn't realized how much more work this pattern is to install.

Now I'm considering doing it myself but wanted to hear any experiences with folks here with this style (https://www.younghouselove.com/2014/...r-on-our-wall/). Is it mostly labour intensive or also difficult?

We love the pattern but would rather not spend $2k buying and installing it (more than what our countertop cost).

thanks,
