How to tile the kitchen.

I saw where you painted your kitchen cabinets and noticed the tile backsplash. Was it already there or did you do it. Did you just put it up on the sheetrock or did you have to cut out that part and apply cement board? I put up stick on vynal tiles in mine, but it's just not quite cutting it although it looks nice. Moisture tends to loosen the sheets and I'd rather have real tiles.
You can remove your vinyl stick tiles and put up tile. There is pre-mixed mortar and grout that make it easier and you can score and cut you tiles with a tile cutter (rent one or borrow). Go to YouTube to find some videos.
You can tile directly to drywall. Use tile mastic as thinset will not hold to drywall.
