Hello!
We've taken on the task of installing mosaic in our newly renovated kitchen.
With the construction lamp on, it looked good, but now after grouting, it looks terrible! In several places, the seams are clearly visible due to the difference in levels between the sheets.
It's also an expensive mosaic.
What should we do? The whole kitchen feels ruined
How difficult is it to remove installed mosaic???

It's unfortunate that you weren't satisfied!
Unfortunately, there's not much to do except tear it down or accept that it differs slightly.
To answer your question, it's not difficult to remove the mosaic, but it will get destroyed.

Understand that what you take down will break. My idea was if it's possible to remove about 5-7 tiles (30x30cm) where it looks the worst and try to redo it in that area, the question is if you also damage it around? Could you break off individual mosaic tiles?
Mosaic is difficult to get right if you don't know what you're doing. Taking down parts afterwards is not a solution, it will actually look worse. Accept the imperfections or have someone skilled redo it.
There are a number of places that have become bad, approximately 5 places, about 2x6 tiles.
My idea was to scrape out the grout around these tiles, then take a utility knife and cut them loose from the mesh, then try to pry them off with a screwdriver or something similar without damaging the surrounding tiles. Then press in new tiles and ensure they are even.
Would that work? Alternatively, let a craftsman perform the operation.
