Not much of that time has been spent on home improvement projects but we did finally decide on and install our kitchen back splash tile. Here are a few options we were considering. We had a difficult time choosing just one with all the amazing options out there, which is probably why it took almost a year to finish. We decided on a glass mosaic that still has a contemporary feel to complement the rest of our kitchen. This is what the end result looks like.
I also discovered this new product on the market that looks like it would make tiling easy for novices like ourselves. Wish we had discovered it prior to installing ours with tradition thinset. If anyone has used it, I'd love to get your opinion.
Best Wishes for a happy & healthy 2011!
Welcome back! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the back splash!
ReplyDeleteHello, We had our kitchen renovated about a month ago and our backsplash tile is almost the same as yours. However, you can see the mesh behind the tiles and the contractor said that he would talk to the manufacturer...and nothing yet. Can you see the mesh on your wall? if not how did you install it? Thanks. Shadi
ReplyDeleteHi Shadi- That's unfortunate! We can't see the mesh through the tile. Were the tiles back- painted with a coating? If so, you shouldn't be able to see the mesh. We used thin-set rather than mastic. Maybe this is the difference? Our tile also had a fired coating on the back of them.
