MY Backsplash!!

I know you all are giddy with anticipation to see the new and improved backsplash. I'm not into real tile backplashes... because it's hard to clean, expensive to install, and you have limited color and size options. So I've created a faux painting technique to look very similar to porcelain or natural stone tile. Check it out:


This is a 'before' shot. The original backsplash is the same color as the walls. (don't be jealous of all my sweet orange appliances)

First things first, I taped off the backsplash, and painted it white!

Using 1/4 inch painters tape, I created a grid. (based on what size tiles I wanted)

I chose several colors of acrylic paint for my palette. I wanted a neutral 'tumbled travertine' look.

And I went to work with the handy little sponge brush. This is the fun part!!

Then... dun dun dun   I remove the tape!!!!!!!

Here's the finished product!!
